Diva

Do you remember Diva?



Designed in EQ8, Diva was published in Make Modern Issue 58. Now, she is available as a standalone pattern in my Etsy Shop.




I made Diva using the Vintage Charm collection, combined with Island Batik Solids in Red, Orange, Yellow and Fuchsia. The focus fabric strip sets were scraps leftover from making Kashvi, but there is nothing scrappy about Diva!



Finishing at 51" by 68" she glides in royal splendor. And although you may think that she is set in her ways, she is very adaptable. I encourage you to take a look at the various color options.



I quilted with my trusted walking foot using my favorite squiggly stitch. The binding is Island Batik Solid Fuchsia.




Some of you are likely to believe that she may be extravagant and she does look resplendent in those rich colors. But the truth is that Diva is very affordable. The pattern is $10 and is available at a 25% discount till September 3, 2024. If you act quickly she can be yours for under $8!!!




In fact, Diva is so persuasive that all patterns in my Etsy Store are 25% off on account of Labor Day Sale. But wait there is more. Two lucky winners can get Diva Quilt Pattern for free. Just leave me a comment on this blogpost, making sure that I have a way to reach you. I will pick the winners next week.

Update - The two winners are Comments #8 and #19. Emails have been sent.

Everything is coming up Rosy!

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.

Dogflowers/Snapdragons

The nature is bursting with gorgeous pink blooms.

Peonies

Roses

There is a new season of Bridgerton, celebrating all things romantic.

I am working on my Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks for May. 

All fabrics are Island Batik. It is good to be an ambassador!

Light, Medium and Dark








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 ;-)


Paul, the model. Wind plays the Brat!


Hope your world view is so bright! I will be sharing with all my favorite linky parties, including Angela's. See full list on the sidebar. 

I am sharing the joy with a 25% off sale on all listed items in my Etsy Shop, till 5/31/24.
