No - I didn't buy the pattern in Melbourne! But I did put in an order over the phone today. This gorgeous antique reproduction quilt is Civil War Bride Quilt by Corliss Searcey. Now, Kathie from Inspired by Antique Quilts had told me to check it out before I left for Melbourne, then Girlfriend! bought the pattern in Melbourne and now Lizzie, of A House in the Country from Blogland, who I met in Melbourne, keeps talking about it - so, I just have to make it. I was besotted when I saw the quilt - I love applique and vowed I would never take on a big project again - well, this one will be my last, I have promised myself!
I'm fairly sure I won't have to buy any applique fabric and maybe I have something suitable for the background, too - we'll see, when the pattern arrives!.jpg)
More gorgeous fabrics from Melbourne - lower left and middle back, antique repros - A Magoo pattern by Melly & me, spots for his body and floral for his pants - then just a few lovelies in the middle!

My sewing machine arrived from the serviceman today, so I'll be stitching away very soon!

Happy day!

Wow. What an amazing quilt. Certainly a challenge but you are well up for it. And a new friend for Mr Perkins! What fun...
Lurline wow, I bought the pattern too! I was at the stall Threadbear and over heard the story of this quilt being told and when I turned around and saw the quilt I was in love with it. I have got the pattern in my hot little hand. I am sure you will finish it long before I even started. Enjoy Natima

What a gorgeous heirloom quilt! I know you'll do it justice. Magoo is going to be darling. Will he be keeping Mrs. Perkins company?

Oh wow. Isn't it a beautiful quilt. Such a huge project though. I must go and have a look at it one day, the shop that sells it is only 1.5 hours from here. I've always dreamed of doing a Baltimore style quilt but I think it might be something to tackle when the kids are bigger. Hope you finish it before your 90th! lol
