Victoriana • This quilt features Ribbon Star blocks in predominately cerise and lime green fabrics that look great together. The fabrics are batik style, but any muted tone-on-tone fabrics would work well.

YARN Worthy

SUNNY SUMMER BASKET • Crochet a bouquet of roses, buds and leaves in 10ply yarn and jazz up a plain straw basket for your sunny summer outings!

Sunshine Knit Top • This is a fun and easy summer top that knits up quick. This ‘pattern’ creates an uneven texture; it is not crucial that you adjust or ‘fit’ the texture to the pattern. If you don't want the texture, you can swap it for stocking stitch.

Ms Mini Bunny and Carrot • This adorable amigurumi bunny and carrot are beginner-friendly and easy to crochet.

Bonheur de Jour PART 6 • Hooray, we have come to the last part of the instructions to make this gorgeous quilt. Hopefully you all made your way through without too many struggles.
