I've had this little beauty stashed away for a while, I loved it before it was even completed, it just looks so cold and crisp, just like fresh snow.
More recently I got my hands on this second Christmas piece. Very pretty, I'd been eyeing it for a while and last month I finally purchased it. Though it took a while to get here due to postal strikes in the UK.
Pam does stitch such beautiful peacocks. I love this guy. It's a cell phone purse, just big enough to hold my phone and a little cash or my card. This is my second Pam peacock.
This last piece I bought as a gift for someone, I've had it stashed away for nearly a whole year, it's a christmas gift. Pam made this cell phone purse to raise funds and awareness for Breast Cancer research. It's so pretty and feminine.
All week I've been proud to carry my own Breast Cancer purse which Janet gifted to me for my birthday earlier this year. It's much larger, and can hold my keys, money purse, phone and a few other items.

Each one of Pams works has her signature Kitty on it, on the breast cancer purse above it's in the bottom right corner. Can you see it on the other pieces? Sometimes he can be quite hard to spot, though he's not bad on these pieces.

Getting back to my own project. I've gotten a second turning nine top made, here it is on the floor...er... work table waiting to be tacked. Hmm spot the mistake! I'm not going to undo it, too lazy! Besides I want to get this finished and into the mail.
Question is, how shall I quilt it? I enjoyed doing the flowers on the pink one. The backing on this one is plain off white fleece, so no pattern to follow. There are assorted flowers and bugs on the top, nothing that really inspires me. I quite like Tazzies peacock feathers, would they work on this one? And more importantly, can I manage to do them?
Time to go and practice.
Take care all.

Can't help with the quilting but absolutely love all teh little crazy quilt pieces, gorgeous, Tracey
Can you do peacock feathers? Of course you can! As someone once said if it's acceptable at ten paces on a galloping horse, you are doing OK :-}
Dijanne Cevaale has published a small book of 72 different overall quilt designs,which might be useful to you. For me, the "when in doubt design" is vines and leaves with the odd curlicue. Much more interesting to do than the meandering and it takes you wherever you want to go. I used it most recently on the ivy leaves quilt which is -ahem- somewhere on my blog.
Oooooh I'm green with envy!!! FOUR Pam Kellogg pieces! All of them gorgeous! I bought one of her peacock pillows last month - did you see it on my blog?
Those purses are adorable and I had fun spotting the kitties! Can't help you with the quilting, but knowing you, you will jump in and do something wonderful!
Those purses are wonderful! On the quilt - I like the leaves and vines.
