Hello and Happy Friday!!

I’ve still got 3 fabrics to show you in our Heals rainbow, but I’m going a tad off the rails today…the only dark blue/indigo Heals fabric I’ve got is Verdure, and we’ve already looked at that pattern when we did orange.  So I’m going renegade and showing you a dark(er) green – with blue bits – instead…then we’ll get back on track with blue tomorrow.  Hope that’s ok – I do love rainbows but I’m also a bit of a rebel!

So here we have green fabric number two…and I think it’s a beauty!

Conifer by Gay Dulley for Heals

It’s called Conifer but it makes me think of multicoloured raindrops – quite fitting after our thunderclouds and lighting yesterday.  I have seen it in a pink & purple colourway but I’m not that into pink…greens and blues on the other hand…I can’t resist them.

I made a lampshade for a friend out of this fabric, and the way the light shines through the mustardy orange outlines is beautiful.

The pattern is on a smaller scale than a lot of my other favourite prints, but it’s good to mix these things up a bit.  It also made an appearance in my rainbow patchwork quilt  – if you haven’t already seen it then do pop over to my blog and have a look.  The photos are of the quilt when it was a work in progress – I have finished it now but have been too busy snuggling under it to take any more photos!

I hope you’ve had a good week and you’ve got a nice weekend planned; we are going to be taking it easy after a busy few weeks.  Please join me here for my last couple of guest posts before the lovely Jen of Little Birdie takes over the guest blogging on Monday.
