Crochet Trim Blanket - Penny Rose Blog Tutorial

How adorable is Elea Lutz's latest range - Strawberry Biscuit.  With the sweetest of prints and characters this range will be hard to resist. Cute puppies and delicate florals all in the most vibrant of colours make for another stand out collection.  Strawberry Biscuit is made for Penny Rose Fabrics (distributed through Millhouse Collections in Australia) and is available now.

This Quilt is perfect for pre-cuts such as Charm Squares or you can cut your own squares that feature sweet fussy cuts and prints.

I made a similar Crochet Trim Baby Blanket a while back and thought this would be the perfect project to make and share for the Penny Rose Blog Tutorial.  Crochet looks simply stunning against the binding of a quilt - this pattern only has several stitches for the actual crochet so is suitable for a beginner. 

Head over to the Penny Rose blog - here to find the Tutorial for how to make this sweet blanket.

I think I see a few more of these for sweet gifts in the future.

This blanket will make a treasured, handmade blanket for years to come.

Strawberry Biscuit Blog Hop

Today is my turn on the Strawberry Biscuit Fabric Blog Hop and one of my favourite fabric designers - Elea Lutz has done it again with her amazing new range - Strawberry Biscuit.  Strawberry Biscuit for Penny Rose Fabrics is available now and will certainly leave you wanting to add plenty of it to your stash.  The sweet prints with Strawberries, Flowers, Ribbons and bows and the cutest ever characters makes for a wonderful collection with vibrant deep colours.                                

If you have been a fan of Elea's previous ranges - "Milk, Sugar and Flower" and "Little Joys" then you will fall in love again with this delightful fabrics.

I am a big fan of Reds, Blues and Pinks and the shades of these fabrics are bright and bold.  With beautiful and delicate scallops and the character prints are so sweet with lots of opportunities for those who love to Fussy Cut.

The Mini Quilts and Cushions featured are my latest pattern - Sweet Treats.  I knew these fabrics would be perfect for these Sweet inspired treats and just the right colours to show off these designs. 

The pattern for "Sweet Treats" is available in my store. 

The pattern features all 3 designs with both Mini Quilt or Cushion Instructions included.

Rectangle "Sweet" Cushion

Sweet Treats Mini Quilt or Cushion

Round Doughnut Cushion

Elea has a real attention to detail with her character prints containing lots of detail to tell the story of these animal friends.  If you love Puppies then there are lots of cute little dogs you will adore.  I think my favourite prints would have to be "Scallop" and "Daisy" - these are so versatile and I just love the colours of these prints in this range.

Strawberry Biscuit is available now and is distributed in Australia through Millhouse Collections.  I can not wait for Elea's next range - "Apple Yard" - which all ready has me dreaming up new designs.
