I wanted my design and colours of that year to be markedly different from Etoile, and to have a real seasonal feel. My birthday is in Autumn (if you're in the southern hemisphere!), and being huge fan of oranges, greens and deep reds, I had such fun going on a hunt to find the perfect fabrics to create this BOM. I knew I'd hit the jackpot on green when the Dargate range fabrics hit the floor! I also wanted to include a breadth of skills again, so you'll find yourself doing appliqué, paper piecing and traditional hand-piecing in this design too.

I'm thrilled to be able to launch this again in the UK this year!
