There is a beautiful Hindi song - Gulabi.
Although Gulab (in Hindi language) means rose, the word Gulabi can mean rosy or pink. Watch this video and notice all the pinks. It is a visual delight. Lyrics Translated in English here.
That is how I feel today. Everything is rosy.

I am working on my Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks for May.
All fabrics are Island Batik. It is good to be an ambassador!

And most important of all, Diva, made using Island Batik Fabrics (Solids and Vintage Charm collection), is featured on the cover of Make Modern Issue 58.
Please note the glove covered hands of the quilt model. Paul, the model, has since hiked his modeling fees. I tried to negotiate but he threatens to unionize :-D
But then, I am in such a good mood that he can ask for anything and get it too ;-)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on that magazine cover! It's a beautiful quilt. And such lovely pinks in the batiks.

ReplyDeleteGorgeously pink hexies! I am always thrilled for you when your pattern makes it into a magazine but when it makes the cover???? Big YAHOO!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors for the summer!!!! Always enjoy hearing the stories behind all this! My peonies are still itty bitty buds! Ah Chicago weather......Thanks
ReplyDeleteYou have lots of pretty pink scraps, Preeti! I love the hexie flowers you're making. Diva is a beautiful quilt - so happy and colorful. Tell Paul we appreciate his good work!
ReplyDeleteCharlotta58@gmail.com here - congratulations on Diva on the cover! The Gulabi video was so beautiful and romantic; it made me wonder what Paul had been up to, besides holding your quilt, to put you in such a happy mood today? 😘💖💘❤️🔥 🤔
ReplyDeleteI’m just happy that you’re happy, no need to answer. 🤣😂
Pink isn’t usually my go-to color, but every time I do use it, I find that I love it as well. I generally find I feel that way about all the colors, even if they don’t speak to me initially. Your array of pink Island batiks is so gorgeous. And the blocks you’re making are turning out so happy.
In fact everything you make always make me happy. I love your style and your use of strong saturated colors.
Thank you for sharing your joy. 😄🥰
I love the Diva cover quilt, Preeti!!! I was just noticing it today as I read through Make Modern mag! Pink flowers, pink fabrics--fab!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting Diva on the cover! Very pretty flower photos, they match your hexie blocks nicely, such pretty pinks in those.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post, with all the gorgeous pinks! I am in love with Diva, the colors are perfect. As for your union troubles, I recommend increasing compensation, such as ice cream or back rubs or whatever Paul might suggest.
