Welcome to 2016.

Hoping that you all enjoyed a break over Christmas and New Year...

I know I am still enjoying the quietness for another week or so.

Lets hope that we all have a safe and happy year.

New projects are coming along well, although not quite as fast as I would have liked!

I am hand quilting one of the new projects...."Bubble and Squeak"....

remember all of those little scrappy circles I was making back in September?...

Well here it is.

Don't pay attention to the funny green fabric on the edges of the quilt....that is the backing wrapped to the front to prevent the fraying of the indigo printed border, so that it wont fray as I quilt.

I am also onto the final appliqué border for "The Chatsworth" Quilt....after this it will be the final machined pieced flying geese border and then.....more hand quilting!

Patterns for the above quilts will be available in February and I will let you know when and how much.

I have also been very busy up loading images of new fabrics that will be arriving throughout the first half of this year (there is more yet to be loaded) and you can view these at....."Coming Soon"...on the website.

Another lovely range from Di Ford can be seen here too...."Giggleswick Mill"

Looking for new fabric that has just arrived, then check out all the new fabrics at 

"Just Arrived" .

I will be home all of February so have changed the trading hours just for this month.

There will also be classes for "Bubble and Squeak", "The Chatsworth Quilt" and "Hand Quilting".

Times, Dates and Details will be released tomorrow.

Cherrybrook Quilters Exhibition

I know that I am late in posting these images but time has slipped away from me.
These ladies at Cherrybrook Quilters just put on such an amazing show, all the way from their amazing quilts (so much talent in this group) right down to their wonderful morning teas.
The floral arrangements are always just perfect too.
If you missed this exhibition then I am sorry you will have a few years to wait for the next one. And you can see why with the work that goes into these quilts. Hand piecing and hand quilting feature in this group which is lovely to see. But along with these techniques there are also wonderful machine piecing and awesome quilting.
In the mean time I hope you enjoy these.

 

 

 The hand quilting in Nola's quilt (above) is just wonderful.

 

 Over 100 hours of custom machine quilting in this Dear Jane quilt.

The top is all hand pieced.

This is Margaret's version of the Sundial Quilt.

This amazing quilt is all pieced by hand over papers.

I think the best version I have seen.

 Karen Mathews amazing wedding quilt!

 

And of course this is my stand with two new quilts in progress (on the back wall) which will be available in 2014.
