Welcome to Monday! It’s a brand new week and time to get busy. I love the start of a new month as it heralds a whole new month of possibilities. Plus April means I’m one month closer to my birthday month, 40 and kicking off #100Days100Blocks2017. There’s so much going on behind-the-scenes at the moment I’m not sure I’m going to be able to pull it all off in time. Mild panic is always a good motivator.
Last week Kristy and I booked our flights to Houston for Quilt Market in October 2017. I’m really excited to be heading back there and I can’t wait to do it with a good friend. We’re already talking about House of Pies! (Can you say annual tradition?) This time I’ll be sure to pack light on the way over to make sure there’s room in my bags for tacos, fabric and maybe a little something for the Little Man.
The weather is turning towards winter and I’m grateful for the cool change, I love getting all snuggly and comfy in winter cloths. I’m also loving the thought of more stews and soups. I’m going to have to get the slow cooker out of retirement. In fact I should probably hit the cookbooks from some inspiration. Right, I’m off to lick some cookbook pages. I wish you a super fabulous week filled with love, laughter and fabric fondling!

![✂️ This block truly represents my quilty heart; big bold colours and 2 of my favourite fabric designers. I've given an alternate method of construction for this block (you'll need the pattern to work it out!) because I am really bad at stretching out triangles and so I preferred this way of doing it. Let me know if it makes no sense to you when you've read it and I'll help where I can. Alternatively you could, you know, follow the pattern and get a perfect block as well
