Yoko Saito

I am so grateful to Carol at Sewn and Quilted for introducing me to the wonderful talents of Yoko Saito.  I am now a huge fan, so you can imagine how excited I was to find a Yoko Saito quilt at Mill Rose Quilts when I visited on Sunday.


This wonderful quilt was a BOM in wonderful Quiltmania and, hooray, I have the patterns.  This is on my To Do list for later this year.

Another highlight of my day in Ballan was meeting sweet little piggy, Matilda, who was an entrant in the pet show.  She was adorable, I loved seeing her interact, so happily, with all the dogs in the show.

With Easter just around the corner, Bronwyn at wonderful Red Brolly has this gorgeous project to share,
You can find it HERE.  Enormous thanks to super talented, super generous Bronwyn.
Have a wonderful day
Love
