last weekend

Last weekend I was out at the Mad Quilters Gathering for 3 days and what momentum this show is beginning to have.

Ladies from far and wide came along to say Hi, from Laurieton in the north, Mudgee to the west and Goulbourn to the south. How wonderful that quilters from all over can get together for a purely Quilting event.

I was kept busy all weekend and I forgot to take my camera so I know these are poor excuses but I only have 2 quick piks of my stand....sorry everyone.

There was however a great line up of shops to visit The Stitching Post from Katoomba, Patchwork Plus at Miranda and Post Office Patchwork of Glenbrook just to name a few.

The whole event has a wonderfully relaxing and friendly feel to it so if you haven't been before then we hope to see you next year.

 

The new American reproduction fabric and pattern club is catching on and you can see the quilt for October hanging above (second from the right). "Lindy-Lou" will be the pattern to expect for October.

The idea of the club is to inspire you to use the fabric you have without buying yardage. This quilt will just be bound when quilted, you of course may like to add sashings or a border....its your choice.

 

Shop Hop 2014

 Now some exciting news will be coming your way regarding the Shop Hop for 2014.

Some of you will remember that last year 3 shops here on the central coast enjoyed a 7 day shop hop event. Next year we are happy to say that it will be bigger and better.......more news over the next few days.

Mourning Grays is a range that has also just arrived. A selection of fourteen fabrics ranging from black, grey, purple and mauve. These four colours represent the four stages of grieving that was required when dressing during the mourning period.

You can purchase these fabrics for a short time as fat 1/8th or fat 1/16th packs as well as widths across the bolt.

For the lovers of Yuwa  fabric three lovelies are here waiting just for you.

If you're wondering what is coming later in the year in fabrics then take a peek here. There are many more to come....I just haven't found the time to put them up for you. So keep checking back.

Here is a little snippet of what I have been working on for some months now.....

She just keeps growing!

New

 The new American Reproduction Fabric and Pattern club was well received at the Sydney Quilt Show.

The club will feature fabric and pattern mail outs and I hope inspiration to use your stash to make quilts to treasure.

 

You will be able to view the first quilt for the club at the Mad Quilters Gathering at Penrith Panthers Marquee over the 2nd-4th August.
