Anyhoo, I can finally show you the 'secret surprise' that's on its way to Margaret. It's a miniature quilt, about 20" x 20" and I'm calling it 'Plum Cobbler'. I am really into purple and white at the moment and I had quite a few lovely purples in my stash calling my name. I love how this little quilt turned out and I hope Margaret likes it too. It looks like it could be quite at home in the monochromatic challenge round of the Four Seasons Quilt Swap, of which Margaret is the swap mama.
The border fabric is a lovely, dark, plummy purple from the Jinny Beyer Palette range. Yum.And here's the label - more of my learner's embroidery!

That is really beautiful. I love purple too. Keep going with the embroidery. You will get better with practice.
I love the colours. Black, purple and white really do look good together.
Woo hoo for the computer.
Though I’m not a real purple lover, I tend to love this colour more and more seeing lovely projects like yours!!
And hurray for you beeing back on the blog!
It looks fantastic, Lily! Lucky Margaret!
MMMmmm - perfect name, makes me hungry, as does the lovely rich colour scheme.
Looovvee Jinny Bayer fabrics. I've got a FQ pack in my stash that I just get out and look at every now and then....
Welcome back Lily!
The quilt is lovely - it must sometimes be hard to give them away!
Wonderful Lily...I really like the look and layout of this mini quilt....now to get one to mine...again inspired by you!!
Very nice. I like those colors too. Your embroidery is much better than mine. I'm sticking with my sewing machine. Lol.
Lovely Lily! Margaret will love it!
Glad your computer woes are behind you. Gorgeous doll quilt - love the colour scheme - the purple works so well with the black.
Very cute!
