Did you know?

That Ausi designer Toni Alexander from Me and My Red Boots  has a book coming out????

Such a perfect name as Toni's quilts are nothing but happy - bright applique, large designs, bold colours and easy to do for both the machine and hand appliquer....  There are also Softies to match the patterns so whether you're a toy maker or a quilt maker there's sure to be something.  Don't you love those superheroes on the front cover?

I have done a couple of Toni's quilts in the past... this is a Dog one I got from a magazine a few years ago.... I made it with wool from old blankets and a chenille background.  It's lovely and warm and cuddly and a favourite with widget.

just love those faces....

Catnip is one for the cat lovers... and  it's ultra cute too....

Baby It's Cold Outside is another favourite of mine that I have made... its fresh and cool but still snuggly ....

... those quirky faces get me every time...

There is still a few others on my wish list.... for one day!!!  Like Flower Fairies and Scrap Bin Sheep 

Her patterns are available in pdf as well as printed which is great for instant gratification and saving on postage, or for those like me who like printed patterns.

Toni's Web Page with links for preordering Happy Quilts is HERE - you get a chance to win prizes if you preorder so follow instructions given HERE.

This is the link to Toni's BLOG - and she's going to be doing giveaways on the lead up to the book release so keep a look out there!

PS I am not being paid to advertise, Toni is a personal friend of mine and I know how much work has gone into doing this book.

Righto, Gotto Go ...... I think I may look at what fabrics I have for the Flower Fairies since I already have the pattern...
