<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Can you believe that it has now been 12-months since I started this project! Originally it was only meant to take 12-months for the sew along however the pace was reduced to only 1-block per week by the organizers earlier this year thus adding extra time. I'm still plodding away. Instead of sewing my blocks weekly I tend to do them all at once toward the end of the month. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was a huge honour when Nadine from <b><a href="http://ideas.sewandso.co.uk/">SewAndSo</a></b> invited me to join in on the <b>"Making Luna Lapin Blog Hop"</b>. <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Making-Luna-Lapin-rabbit-impeccable/dp/1446306259/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1472632876&sr=8-1&keywords=making+luna+lapin" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: red;">Making Luna Lapin</span></b></a> is a lovely book by

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I must admit, I wasn't sure how I would go with some of the patterns as I am <i>"JUST a Quilter"</i>. I have had <u>some</u> experience making toys but absolutely <u>no experience</u> making clothes (except for a pair of adult pyjama pants which my mother helped me with). I am so grateful that we had a few months lead time for this project as I tackled it in stages. In full disclosure, this ended up being a joint project between me & my mother Barbara - I'll explain as we go along...</span></div>

Author - <b>Sarah Peel</b> uses Liberty of London fabrics for the ears and the pads of the feet - I opted to use <b>Kaffe Fassett Collective</b> fabrics instead. The print I have used was <b>"Millefiore Pink" from the </b></span><span style="background-color: #f8f8f8;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Kaffe Fassett Collective
Spring 2016.</b> I felt that this fabric added a lovely pastel pop against my bunny's soft grey fur. I also gave my bunny blue eyes.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u><b>Did I have any issues?</b></u> Not really. The instructions are pretty straight forward, any oopsie moments were purely my own brain farts and were easily rectified. I had a slight issue lining up the ears once I had finished sewing the head together but it was easily rectified by stitching a little flower on bunny's forehead between the ears. I wasn't sure which seams were to be machine stitched on the inside or hand stitched on the outside so 95% of my bunny was machine stitched on the inside and turned through. In hindsite I have a feeling that this was not the author's intention.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I decided to make Luna's "perfect for every occasion" polka dot dress. Instead of using polka dot fabric I used <b>"Paisley Jungle" by Kaffe Fassett for Rowan Fabrics - GP60</b> in grey. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To be honest I found this pattern very confusing. I did not like the look of the pockets and could not manage to attach the collar. I telephoned my mum (a retired dressmaker & now a miracle worker) and arranged a date to bring bunny & dress over to her place. We attempted to unpick and resew "my" dress, but in the end I cut out the pattern a second time and delegated the making of the dress to mum. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once my brain cells had time to recover I decided to tackle the wool coat. I used a lovely soft lilac coloured acrylic felt for the coat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are 7-pages of detailed instructions and "how to" diagrams showing you step by step how to make the coat. I managed to whip it together rather quickly on my sewing machine without any brain farts UNTIL I was almost at the end of the pattern and noticed that the collar & hem both needed bias binding and the coat's front required 6 buttonholes to be sewn on. Erm HELLO, <i>"JUST a Quilter"</i> here! I have never stitched a button hole in my life and I was not about to destroy this coat in the process of trying. So I picked up the telephone, <i>"Hi mum, can I come and see you tomorrow? Also do you have any lilac ricrac?" </i> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mum the miracle worker to the rescue. She took one look at the collar and said that we didn't need the bias binding, instead she hand stitched the inner collar down with matching thread (Aurifil of course). As the coat was made of felt she said we didn't need bias binding on the hem (felt doesn't frey). Instead I machine sewed two rows of fine stitches around the hem for effect. Inside the inner flap of the coat I added two press studs, and on the outer flap I attached three buttons for looks. This was a much simpler way to finish off the coat without tackling the "dreaded button holes of doom". Queue scary music!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bunny needed shoes to wear with her coat and I decided to use a darker shade of purple acrylic felt. I raided mum's buckle supply but she did not have any buckles that were small enough, so instead I used two plastic purple gemstone buttons to add a little bling. <b>After all, what bunny doesn't like a bit of bling!</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The shoes were dead easy to make and I hand stitched them whilst watching TV one night. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Although I followed the pattern to the T, these shoes are a tiny bit too big for my bunny. I think this is because I machine stitched the legs & feet & turned them in instead of hand stitching the outer edges (see my comments above under <i>"How to Sew a Rabbit"</i>). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is almost summer in Australia but as this bunny is about to head off to a cooler climate overseas, I decided to make her a scarf. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I rummaged through my <b>Kaffe Fassett</b> fabrics and pulled out a selection of scraps. Instead of using the provided template, I cut 3.25" squares from my scraps and cut them in half to create the 64 required triangles. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The directions supplied were very straight forward and I found myself in my happy place as I stitched away on my Elna. Once the scarf was finished I added an edge stitch about 1/8" in from the edges. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the scarf! It looks fab, however I don't think it really needs to be that wide. I tend to fold it in half when I tie it around Luna's neck, but she looks so adorable wearing it! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There's been so much happening behind the scenes here lately that I have barely had time to keep my blog updated, but there is something rather special that I would like to share with you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last Friday & Saturday was the <b><span style="color: red;">"Bendigo Agricultural Show"</span></b>. I had never been before but my sister-in-law is a regular patron and this year she talked me into entering some of my quilts into the needlework section of the show. I have never entered any quilt shows before so I kept it very hush hush in case nothing happened. When I told my BFF Michele, she insisted on coming up and she drove up from Melbourne the day before. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I chose to enter "<a href="http://bendigolioness.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/the-circle-game-quilt.html"><b>The Circle Game Quilt</b></a>" & "<a href="http://bendigolioness.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/savanna-safari-quilt.html"><b>Savanna Safari</b></a>" both in the "Patchwork Novice Section" since this was my first ever show. This section is only open to those who have never won a prize at any show before.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had planned to go to the show on the Friday morning before the crowds got too bad (I hate crowds). The alarm went off at 6am & as I lay in bed contemplating moving, my local radio station - <b><a href="http://www.3bo.com.au/">3BO</a></b> - announced that they had three sets of double tickets on offer. I have never entered a radio competition before but I rang up at the designated time and I won us a double pass! <b>Cogho & Ez</b> even interviewed me on the radio *embarrassing*</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we were ready to leave, our first stop was at the <b>Southern Cross Australia</b> studios in Bendigo to collect our tickets and then off to the showgrounds we went. My parents & sister-in-law were instructed NOT to phone me if they found out before I did how my quilts went...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we arrived at the <b>Home Crafts Pavilion</b>, we looked at all the displays in order. Michele got to the quilting section ahead of me & I called out, <i>"Don't tell me, let me find out for myself!"</i> When she turned around to face me I saw the tears in her eyes and I knew that I had won something. OH MY GOODNESS, I went into a state of shock! <b>Not only did BOTH of my entries win FIRST PRIZE in their categories, but "<span style="color: red;">Savanna Safari</span>" also won "<span style="color: red;">Best Exhibit</span>" in the Patchwork - Novice category AND the Society's Sash for "<span style="color: red;">Article of Excellence - Needlework</span>" - the TOP award for the entire needlework section </b>(except for the hand sewn needlework)!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are still 25 blocks to go - at one block per week - that's 25 more weeks.... Hmmmmmm, I am undecided whether I will continue with the pace of this sew along or just whip up the rest of the blocks and finish this quilt off. Each time I debate this I think of all the other flimsies that I have waiting to be turned into quilts and say to myself - "just keep going for now"... we'll just wait & see. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After pinning all of my blocks to an old blue bed sheet, I have decided to use a solid white to sash all of my blocks. You may have noticed over the last few months I have started to use the more bolder shades of blues & teals in my blocks. I have used up all of my original lighter blues/teals shades & after selecting the colour of my sashing I have decided not to add any more of the lighter shades to the blocks - they would look too washed out. I have enough of the lighter coloured blocks to scatter throughout the quilt top. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Guess what? My gorgeous friend Jodie has just released a new pattern. It is another in her "Alphabet Animals" range, and this one is <b><span style="color: red;">"L is for Lion"</span></b>. Naturally I just HAD to make it!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Like all of Jodie's patterns, the instructions are very well written, easy to follow and easy to make. The lion is all hand sewn & is made from felt. It didn't take very long to make him except that I underestimated how much felt I would need for the mane and I ran out, so the making of <b>"Lentil"</b> was spread out over a few sewing sessions.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>"Lentil"</b>? Yes, I named my lion Lentil. Why did I name him Lentil? Well, let's just say that I had no stuffing pellets so I had to use something else to weight his bottom...can you guess what I used?</span></div>

The pattern was modern and bold and featured bright solids on a black background. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over the next 6-months, Carl will release part of the quilt pattern and there is also a free online class teaching you how to make that month's blocks and demonstrating the techniques used for that month. </span></div>

Ballarat is "just down the road a bit" from Bendigo (it is 123kms south west of Bendigo - and it takes about 90-minutes to drive there). Cotton Factory is owned by <b>Alison von Bibra</b> (known affectionately as "<b><i>#theAlison</i></b>"). <span style="background-color: #fcf9f9; line-height: 18px;">Cotton Factory is a small business in Ballarat with an aim to make craft available to everyone.

crafters talk about swaps, is how hard they are to organise, how varied the
fabrics are (some chain store, some high quality fabric store, some Vintage)

is hosting a community block swap where you are guaranteed to receive your swap
blocks. <b>The swap is open to Australian Quilters and Overseas Quilters</b>
and will work as follows:</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
</div>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.cottonfactory.bigcartel.com/product/cotton-factory-community-block-swap-packs"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Purchase your BlockPack from Cotton Factory</span></a></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Make four blocks</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Return as many (or
as few) as you decide</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You will receive
the SAME number of swap blocks by return mail that you sent in.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All fabrics have
been chosen by Cotton Factory. They include Carolyn Friedlander, Art Gallery,
Jen Kingwell, Free Spirit and a range of well known, best quality, quilting
cottons. For enquiring minds, <b>the colour scheme is: mustard, teal, muted
oranges and hints of citrus</b>. Cotton Factory has partnered with Eye Candy
Quilts to provide the pattern in your Block Swap Packs, at cost. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: red; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><u><b>Recapping key
dates.</b></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To start, just
<a href="http://www.cottonfactory.bigcartel.com/product/cotton-factory-community-block-swap-packs">purchase a Block Pack</a> before the end of July 2016.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Make your blocks</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Post your swap
blocks such that they arrive at Cotton Factory by 31<sup>st</sup> August
2016</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Get ready to
receive your Swap blocks later that same week (or early the following week โ
dependent on Australia Post, the Universe and the usual postal planetary
alignment).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In your own sweet
time you make up your quilt. Keep using the hash tag <b>#cfcblockswap</b>, so
we can all stay connected with your progress.</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sadly my Block Pack did not arrive in time for my 52 Quilters take over week however, Alison did give me permission to share some of her photos:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last year I was a recipient in Nessa's </span><a href="http://bendigolioness.blogspot.com.au/2015/10/craft-it-forward.html" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Craft it Forward</b></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> and I received a lovely hand made gift from her last May. In turn I was to send a hand made item to the first three qualifying bloggers who responded to my promotion. Once they received their gifts they then agreed to h</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 23.184px;">ost their own Craft-It-Forward on their blogs, and to send out a hand made gift to three different people within 12 months of receiving their item/s.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I only had two bloggers who qualified - <a href="http://saidwithlove.com.au/"><span style="color: red;">Anne Boundy</span></a> and <a href="http://sewfilomena.blogspot.com.au/"><span style="color: red;">Filomena Parbery</span></a>. I had until May this year to complete my gifts and I just slid over the finish line as May turned into June.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As Anne lives not too far away we caught up for lunch in the nearby town of <a href="http://bendigolioness.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/pick-up-stitches-kyneton.html">Kyneton</a> and I delivered her gift in person. Filomena lives interstate so I posted hers up to her.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I knew that both ladies love Lori Holt fabrics & designs, and that Filomena also loves Bonnie & Camille fabrics. My sleuthing discovered that both have a fondness for aqua and red. I wanted to make a gift that was practical so I decided to make the <a href="http://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/stitchy-kit.html">"Stitchy Kit" pattern by Bee In My Bonnet Designs - Lori Holt.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jodie is a gem! She is guaranteed to make me laugh until the tears stream down my face every time I see her or talk to her! She is also a Ballarat girl (& so lives "just down the road a bit") and I have had the pleasure of meeting Jodes quite a few times now. She is a school librarian turned toy maker & now fabric designer for Ella Blue Fabrics. I have made a number of her toy patterns for myself & for gifts. Her "<a href="http://www.ellabluefabrics.com/designers/jodiecarleton/">Cats Pyjamas</a>" fabric range is my absolute favourite and I have made PJ pants from this range together with some other items. Her newest fabric range "<a href="http://www.ellabluefabrics.com/designers/jodiecarleton/">Bunny Trail</a>" is totes adorbs!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Rosie is one of the loveliest people that I have ever had the pleasure to meet! I first met Rosie at Bendigo's Craft Alive in 2004 & I attended an Embroidery Masterclass with her. I look forward to catching up with her each year when she travels up to Bendigo for Craft Alive. I have sewn a number of Rosie's embroidery patterns & I have quite a lot of her fabric hoarded away in my stash. Rosalie has designed 7 fabric ranges and is now a <a href="http://www.ellabluefabrics.com/designers/rosalie-dekker/">fabric designer</a> for Ella Blue Fabrics.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am a mad Jen Kingwell convert! Last year I attended one of her classes which was hosted by Cotton Factory in Ballarat.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today I thought that I would share some of my
quilts with you. I only have a few larger sized quilts which are
finished, so I have selected a sample to share with you. I enjoy machine
sewing; foundation paper piecing; hand sewing; needle turn applique; English
Paper Piecing (EPP); and embroidery. I am still not confident in Free
Motion Quilting so most of my quilts have been hand quilted. A few I have had
professionally quilted by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ladybugquilting/"><span style="color: blue;">Linda at Ladybug Quilting</span></a> in Bendigo. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At the beginning of April the announcement was made that there would now only be one block released per week. I think too many people were struggling to keep up with the sew along. My feelings about this are mixed. A large part of me is relieved as I was struggling to stay up to date sewing all of my blocks, let alone blogging about my progress. However, the realisation that it was now going to take more than the initial 12-month investment to complete this quilt frustrates me. I have already cut back on some of my commitments to try to keep up to date with this sew along and the thought of adding another 3-6 months to this project makes it feel like a never ending task - at this point in time anyway. Just my initial thoughts; who knows, it might actually be a good thing. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So far I have made 53 blocks and I still have 46 blocks to go. The big decision ahead of me is: do I continue to sew these blocks as they are announced each week with the official sew along or should I forge ahead and work at my own pace?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have now used up most of my fat quarter bundle of solids that I was using for the shades of teal. I am also starting to think about what colour sashing I will use for this quilt - I feel that a solid white would look too stark, and a solid black would look too heavy. My current thoughts are to use one of the paler shades of teal - such as the lighter shade shown above in block 97. Meanwhile I have added to my black and white prints as I slowly use up my smaller scraps and I have also purchased some yardage of the darker teal shades.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello friends, I am afraid I went a bit MIA in July. I had big plans for the month and lots of articles typed up ready to share with you but I never got the chance to post any of them. The last few weeks I have been battling with a spinal injury & two dislocated shoulders (don't ask), and I am only just starting to catch up despite still being in tremendous pain. </span></div>

Many of you saw my posts on their Instagram account but I know many had issues reading the blog posts that I wrote due to the colour settings on their blog. Over the next few weeks I am going to re publish some of these articles for you (they will be clearly identifiable as 52 Quilters posts), as well as some other posts that I have ready to publish.</span></div>

my former life I worked for over 20-years in the Australian Travel Industry. I owned
& managed my own Travel Agency until I was forced to medically retire in
2010 following my diagnosis with <b>ME/CFS</b> (</span><span class="st1"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)
and later <b>Fibromyalgia</b>. </span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">It
took me 3-years to find my niche after โretiringโ from the work force. I experimented with many different hobbies until
I started quilting in June/July 2013 after my mother gave me a vintage Elna
Supermatic. I took to it like a fish to water. I have since upgraded to a modern Elna and a Janome.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I
guess you could say that I am self taught. When I got my first sewing machine, I googled information on sewing and quilting
and enrolled in a free online Craftsy class and slowly plodded, bungled and
muddled my way through as I learnt to sew. In the early days I joined a number
of quilting bees via <b>โ<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/200192843336376/">Quilt Club Australia</a>โ</b> on Facebook which helped me
connect with some other quilters and to gain more experience. Over
time I started to meet various quilters on Instagram and have been totally
embraced within the Instagram community.
There is a massive sense of community especially on Instagram within the
quilting community. Whatever hour of the
day or night there is ALWAYS someone online SOMEWHERE around the world so even
if at 3am in the morning you feel like a chat or need advice on a sewing matter
SOMEONE is out there.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For some time now this quilt has been on my wish list.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">This little tool called the <b>Quilterโs Wonder Wheel</b> or <b>1/4" Seaming Wheel</b> is a great way to easily and accurately add a ยผโณ seam allowance to any template. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23.8px;">The wheel has a hole in the middle which is countersunk on the top side. The bottom side is smooth and flat allowing it to move freely over the fabric or paper. </span><span style="line-height: 23.8px;">A nice sharp pointed pencil (or Sewline Trio Colors Fabric Pencil) fits nicely into the indented hole so that the seam allowance lines can be drawn using the wonder wheel. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23.8px;">This cool little tool allows for a simple and easy way to add an accurate ยผโณ seam allowance to templates</span><span style="line-height: 23.8px;"> that do not have them or to shapes that you want to use for appliquรฉ or hand sewing.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In my former life I was a Travel Consultant & business
owner and I used to specialise in travel to Africa. I have many fond memories of my many adventures throughout South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Kenya and Malawi.
One of my absolute favourite safari lodges was <a href="http://www.savannalodge.com/"><b>Savanna Lodge</b></a> - <span style="background-color: white;">a<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">n exclusive 5 star lodge
situated in the internationally famous Sabi Sand Reserve within the greater
Kruger National Park conservancy in South Africa. I stayed here back in 2008 whilst on vacation and loved every minute of my visit! </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;">I decided to name this quilt in honour of this wonderful lodge, and hereby bring you </span><span style="color: red;"><b>"Savanna Safari"</b></span><span style="background-color: white;">. </span></span><br />

<b style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Tartan Kiwi's Patterns</span></b></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <b>Leopard</b> is based on Juliet's pattern "<a href="http://www.thetartankiwi.com/2015/02/safari-quilt-pattern-release-big-cat.html">Big Cat</a>" measuring 12" x 24". I originally pattern tested this for her back in February 2015 however I remade it later in the year using Cotton & Steel. My original remake is now on the back of the quilt because I ended up resizing the pattern by 150% and rotating the cat so that it faced to the right instead of the left.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Mr Lion</b> - I was one of Juliet's original pattern testers when she designed "<a href="http://www.thetartankiwi.com/2015/03/lion-patter-release.html">Lion</a>" - this is a large block at 24" I originally made this block back in February 2015 and he was the inspiration for the rest of the quilt.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <b>Zebra</b> is a pattern called "<a href="http://www.thetartankiwi.com/2015/07/scrappy-zebra.html">More Zebra Mania</a>" and measures 20". I pattern tested this for Juliet back in July 2015. At the time I had an idea to make a large quilt but had no overall design in mind hence the green background.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In addition to these test blocks, I purchased the following patterns from Juliet:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"<a href="http://www.thetartankiwi.com/2015/03/giraffe-pattern-release.html">Giraffe</a>" measuring 24" x 30", "<a href="http://www.thetartankiwi.com/2014/10/editing-elephants-pattern-release.html">Elephant</a>" measuring 24" and "<a href="http://www.thetartankiwi.com/2015/02/hippo-pattern-release.html">Hippo</a>" measuring 12" x 30"</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once I had made the above blocks I felt that I needed to add more animals to the quilt top. I have never written my own pattern before so I went googling and stumbled upon Janeen's designs. Originally Janeen had each of her animals available for individual sale on Craftsy, however she has since combined them into two multi packs called "<a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilting/home-decor/10-animal-safari-patterns-e-book-1/65487">Animal Safari Patterns E Book 1</a>" and "<a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilting/home-decor/10-animal-safari-patterns-e-book-2/66748">Animal Safari Patterns E Book 2</a>". The individual blocks are each approximately 12". </span></div>
