OK so you remember that two weeks ago all I could bang on about was my Moda Bake Shop debut which I was excited about beyond all reason. Well, guess what? Lynz has only gone and made it. Sitting here on a Sunday night watching Boston Legal with my cold chicken and chips, I get a flickrmail from Lynz entitled "hexagons" and do you know what I think?! I am expecting a message saying, I'm making this quilt and nothing matches up and your instructions are rubbish (not that I'm a worrier or anything). But no, the flickrmail is a link to this picture and I am sitting here on the sofa honestly feeling like it's Sunday night Top of the Pops and my single has made it to number one in the charts.
At five, it's the Osmonds with "Love me for a Reason", in at four "Copa Cabana" by Barry Manilow, non-mover at three, the Nolans with "I'm in the mood for dancing", Gilbert O Sullivan up five at two with "Get Down" and straight in at number one, it's Lily's Quilts with "Hexagon Park"!!! Hurray!!! Thank you Lynz for buying my new single :-) X.

Looks Fantastic! I didn't like Hideaway until I saw this.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make your quilt I just need to get rid of a Single Girl Quilt first!
What fun!!! I love your 'story telling'! Your new single will be at No. 1 for weeks and just the first track on your 2012 album (read "book!") And it is a lovely quilt in those fabrics too!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! That's super cool Lynne, Lynz quilt looks really fresh and springlike (that's not a word is it?)

Woo-hoo!! I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy myself after making it onto your blog! And can I congratulate you on your stellar pop culture references. Copacabana was a childhood favourite of mine. I am not joking.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great feeling!
ReplyDeleteThis is so great....a quilting buddy of mine was showing great interest in your quilt this week...If she makes one I'll send you a picture.
ReplyDeleteI bet you are just about ready for bursting - you have every right to be too - it's a lovely pattern and obviously a great pattern/tutorial to have been made so quickly
ReplyDeleteGreat job Lynz and Lynne
I'm sure more will appear in due course ;0)
Wow that's so good,how fabulous that someone has already finished your pattern, yay, and love your reference to Top of the Pops reminds me of being in the UK when I was a teenager and glued to the TV.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Lynne - having your talent recognised, nay, replicated - priceless. Top of the Pops - oh, heady, happy days singing along and dancing to Pan's People ....
ReplyDeleteYayyy for Lynz! I saw her pic on Flickr last night, she's a clever lady! Well, you gave her a fantastic pattern to follow :) Love the Top of The Pops reference, talk about taking me back! lol
ReplyDeleteCool! The quilt is really pretty and it's fun to see it in another colourway/with other fabrics, too! :-)
ReplyDeletemine is cut out and partially assembled- instructions all good so far! Lynzs looks so neat and beautiful. Well done on your number 1
ReplyDeleteQuilt looks greet but your showing your age with your choice of music. Great songs!

Oh my gosh I wish I could do something that fast. Awesome quilt.
ReplyDeleteMust be a great feeling - I have to say that whenever I`ve looked at your instructions for anything they are super clear. Be confident!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Congrats! And I thought I was the only one who could possibly remember Gilbert O Sullivan.....awwwwwww......such a crush!
ReplyDeleteIt must be such a fabulous feeling! Wow - it's great - I love Hideaway I am very tempted to go buy some. You must be so proud. Looks like it's official you really are a rock star!
ReplyDeleteThat's an adorable analogy. Glad you made it to the top!
ReplyDeleteYou're too funny!! Congrats on # 1..It looks great too....good for both of you....I love the pattern.....and hoping to get a chance to make one myself.....
ReplyDeleteWow! Stunning quilt! But Lynne you're really showing your age with those pic of the pops (problem is I remember them too, just!) Jxo
ReplyDeleteLol, top of the quilts! Great post, and I'll be making your quilt too, just have single girl and another one or two wips to get thru first :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat looking quilt--I'm so happy I have the pattern! And your post made me happy--great writing!
ReplyDeletecongrats on your #1 single! She did a great job with the pattern and really made the hideaway something special.
ReplyDeleteYou're "On top of the World" with the Carpenters!! What a lovely feeling.
ReplyDeleteWooHoo!! looks wonderful.
ReplyDeletethat is so awesome....i can only imagine how over the moon you were!!!! it looks beautiful
ReplyDeleteAw, and it didn't cost her a penny! No flies on you Lynz. Wow, it looks amazing!!! Sweet post Lynne. Now you know why all the designer gals have those flickr groups for people to show what they've made from their patterns (hmmm, where is the "I made this from a Lily's Quilts Pattern" flickr group?). Best get that up and running so you don't miss a thing that's getting built out there in blogland!
ReplyDeletep.s. I know every word to Copacabana from when I was 8. "Music and passion were always in fashion at the Coooooooopa......copa cabaaaaaaana". Sing it Barry.
ReplyDeleteOh no, now I have Copacabana stuck in my head - thanks for that! What a fabulous quilt! I'm going to make it! I am! I am!
ReplyDeleteaaargh ... take the Manilow away ...
ReplyDeleteBut ... congrats Lynze and Lynne - the quilt looks really great - fandabeedozee in fact!! Full Credit to both designer and quilter!
Yeah Lynne, you'd better start a flickr group pdq :)
xx
Oh, it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteNow I'll be too shy to own up that I'm making one, too. (I'm afraid mine is bound to be wobbly, but I'm still having so much fun with it).
I wanted to suggest a flickr group but I can see you've started one already :)
This quilt pattern is awesome! I absolutely cannot wait to try this out! I am extra delighted because I just purchased a Sherbet Pips FQ bundle, so I know I can use this... but, I also know it looks great in other fabrics, too!
