how my sewing day started ...
and how it ended ...
Iced Vovo is featured in Jen Kingwell’s new book Gathered, check the link here. I began with a cutting spree, first up a batch of pretty medium-value scraps, with a few darker ones thrown in for contrast. And then some low volume fabrics. I'm teaming neutral light prints up with the occasional solid too, in variety of pale coloured tones. The solids do seem to help provide a little visual definition to my scrappy patchwork.
I'm thinking that this sweet 8" block could be perfect for those of you who are on the fence about curve piecing… nice gentle curves, no-pins-needed, and fits together perfectly when pieced.
I've got 8 blocks sewn & on the design wall now, only 92 to go!
Still, it's all good, this is going to be a slow summer sewing project. With Christmas just around the corner, our grandchildren are almost on school holidays (read sleepovers, outings, swimming), and a trip to Australia to see our son & DinL coming up ... things are beginning to get busy here.

p.s. Iced Vovo was named in honour of Australia’s beloved (and irresistibly tasty) biscuit
I'll make sure I try one while we are over there

Happy Holidays
I'll be back next year, Linda
