Angel Story


Angel Story, a pattern by Anni Downs and made in Tilda fabrics is a completed top.....

This weekend I added the two borders......


Perhaps you would like to meet the angels.... I think there is a little (or maybe a lot) of each of them in each of us.....

Best friends Zoe and Prudence...….. it is so wonderful when we are lucky enough to have special friends in our lives.....


Charlotte the Shopper …. possibly the least like me of all...… I really don't like shopping... I go and get what I need and get out again….. big fail in the browsing side of it....  but I don't mind carrying parcels... especially if they contain fabric!


Sarah the Sewing Angel.... 


Angela the Animal Lover.....


Harriet the Homebody..... definitely like me.... my comfort place 


Fran's Flying School...... maybe we can't literally fly... but I like to think we can learn to fly with our dreams.... 


Becky the Bookworm...... 


Dimity the Dreamer..... 


Tillie the Tea Lady..... 


Sophia the Social Butterfly...... 


Pot Plant Penelope....


Millicent the Magnificent Mum..…  not sure I made the grade but I did raise magnificent Mums and Dads..... 


Libby the Librarian...... 


Hettie at the Hat Shop...... 


… and some hearts to tie them together.....


I do love the mixture of applique, embroidery and piecing …... 


I managed to score some matching Tilda fabric at $5m so I have joined some together for the backing and made the binding from the same fabric as the outer border....

It's all ready and in the 'waiting to be quilted' pile.... (which is rather long!) 


Such a lovely quilt to make... which angel are you most like??

Righto, Gotto Go... Monday morning means quilting to do.....

I hope you have a wonderful week - doing as much happy things as you can.....

    PS. Forgot to pick and angel. But I have a problem - I am far from angelic! I may have some traits from several of them but not enough for a complete angel!

    Your Angel Story quilt top looks fabulous Fiona! The double borders & border colours really tie it all together. Hmmm ... I think I have a splash of all the angels in my personality except for Hettie & Millicent ... Although my halo has been known to slip! :0P Happy stitching! Bear Hugs, KRIS xx

    Beautiful flimsy finish Fiona. I love the colourway - that hint of blue is lovely in it. Hmm I see a bit of me in several of those Angels, Hariet, Angela, Sarah, Fran, Becky, Dimity..... Hope the quilter can fit this one in soon.... :-)

    I'm with you on the shopping...not my cuppa tea at all! Would you believe I feel most like Harriet the Homebody? Even though we travel all the time, we are always home in our little boat and that makes me so happy :)

    All your angels have such sweet smiles and shining faces. I can see why you love this pattern so much, Fiona!

    It looks fabulous. That was a good score on the fabric purchase. I think that I may be Becky the Bookworm.
