Under The Big Top Nursery Set

I am pleased to announce the release of a pattern for a circus themed nursery set entitled Under The Big Top.

Circles, triangles, squares and diamonds are all used to create this colourful quilt.

  The pattern includes the spiral and star quilting motifs used in this sample.

 The outer border is simply quilted with a curved line dotted with stars.

To give credit where due...we all know I had help with the photo shoot. You may recognize the tail in this one...

The ninja cat was everywhere. You aren't fooling anyone, Polly - we can see those pointy little ears!

Polly would get shooed out of the room and by the time I was back behind the camera, she was back in front of it.  

Sigh...

The pattern also includes instructions for the "big top" canopy to hang over the crib so you can complete your nursery in a circus theme.

 The quilt is a generous 46" x 54".

As always, I owe a big thank you to pattern editor Cheryl Coville for her help (and Polly sends a purr to Cheryl's helper, Cassie).   The pattern is available as an instant download here on Craftsy.

I feel like I've been spinning my wheels for the past month or so, getting caught up from Fibre Arts Festival and with yesterday's snow now my wheels are literally spinning!  Our first real snowfall of the season...and it's a pretty one!

Inside, I've been working away on the colourful fabrics from Mrs. P's that I showed you in this post.  I am about half way through the quilting, and have a few more fiddly details to work out on the pièce de résistance (the accompanying canopy) and then it's on to writing the directions.  Barring interruptions, that's a good week's worth of work before it's ready to post.

 There are also a few chores which need doing...like putting the patio furniture away :)
