Fantasia
I can now reveal another project of which you saw just a sneak peak some time ago. It is my wall-hanging called "Fantasia" which has just been published in our fantastic Australian magazine, Country Threads.
Fans hold quite an attraction for me. I have loved them from early childhood. We actually used them quite a lot in the hot Queensland summer, long before electric fans and airconditioning were common! And now I enjoy making them in patchwork.
On another note, Christine sent me a photo of some lovely coathangers she made using my free tutorial pattern, "Doing Frilly". Aren't they just so pretty?
Hope you are having a great stitching week!

Val

That is beautiful!!! Is there anywhere else that I could purchase the pattern? Australian magazines are rather expensive in the US.
That's gorgeous Val! I love fans too - I used to have some pretty ones my grandparents brought me from their travels, I wonder what happened to them? Love the coat hangers!
Fantasia is so pretty. I love your fabric palette, too
Congrats yet again! You sure are prolific! I love fans myself, although I've never made a quilt with fans. One day...
I love your quilt! I'm with sunny on finding a place to purchase the pattern as I can't find Australian magazines in my area. Nola
Your easy instructions made them a breeze to make. Thanks Val. Regards, Christine
Thanks for liking my new Fantasia pattern! I have now put it up on my website. You can purchase it here:

Oh how absolutely pretty - I just love it. You design the most lovely things I have ever seen.
I have been working on a couple ETUI boxes to donate to my guild for our boutique. They look great, but mine do not stand up as pretty as yours. I used fastfuse as my stiffener instead of poster board and I am wondering if that might be my problem. They sure are pretty though, and I hope to put a picture on my blog soon.
It looks like you had a great stitching week! That is so pretty!
Your 'Fantasia' is so fantastic that I have to do it at once. I just bought the magazine in Sweden and the layer cake with Garden Party in USA so I am ready to start.
Thank you.
Everyone that picks up the magazine will be thrilled to find you lovely pattern in it. Congrats! Your work is really wonderful.
