Chris Timmins

Last Wednesday we had a visit from the very talented quilt designer and tutor....Chris Timmins.

Chris bought with her some of her wonderful creations for show and tell as well as her wonderful tales of how she became a quilter.

Chris loves to use black, white and red fabrics in her projects and she especially loves the patterns created using Bargello piecing.

 

The 3D effect of this quilt is great.

 

 

This is my favourite and is made easier by using a special ruler....I have one and cant wait to use it!

 

 

 

I really do like this one as well.

Happy stitching

Linda always has something on the go

 

Judy is using a wonderful selection of fabrics to make the quilt.

 

Here is Judy showing her great use use of a border print fabric.



Gwenda with her black, white and red quilt.

And Maree's "hidden wells" quilt top.

 

Off to the Wednesday Group (Caroline Bay Quilters) today and paying us a visit is Chris Timmins.

Should be very enjoyable.

Look whats new

New from Moda is "Double Chocolate" designed by 3 Sisters...so yummy I know why they chose this name.

I only bought four fabrics in this range because there are so many other lovely ranges on their way.......

Can't have them all!....or can we? Yes you can, order a fat 1/8th pack if you like.

Also new from Paula Barnes some "Retro Geo", great to add some zing to your reproduction quilts...just love them.

Fat 1/8th packs also available in this range....be quick.

Fussy cutting....loving it!

I am usually very impatient to get new projects started and then finished.......But this time I thought I would fussy cut each of the stars required for the final border of the hexagon quilt I have been making and slow down a bit!

 

I am really pleased with them....only another 20 or so to make!

 

Off to sewing today to make some more!

Talented ladies....

I thought I would share with you some images of a group I sew with on a weekly basis...."Caroline Bay Quilters".

They are such a diverse group of ladies with some of them being winners at the Sydney Darling Harbour Quilt show.

 

 

Dee with her "Bug" quilt.

 

Marilyn with a very pretty scrappy quilt.

 

This quilt is a raffle quilt for the "Iris Foundation" here on the Central Coast. Helping children and teenagers at risk of suicide.

 

Six pointed star quilt.

 

Maxine just loves her hexagons!

 

 There is always plenty of help available.



 

And of course "Smokey" who really would like to come to sewing each week.....but I am not so sure he would be of much help to anyone!..........

 

He will just have to stay at home and guard the roses!

 

Until next time....

Carol.

Back Again

Well it's been sometime since I posted something on this Blog. Mainly because the system seems to hate me or I just can't work it properly!

Never the less I will give it another go.

I spent many hours on Sunday morning changing the look of the page and adding more links, so take your time, have a seat and take a peek and let me know what you think.

 

New fabrics from Daiwabo of Japan and "Warmth" from Moda have just arrived and you can view these by clicking on the icon in the left hand tool bar

 (New Products)

"Warmth" (above)

This year has been extremely busy, attending many shows and events as well as Retreats, but I have now come to that end of the working year that allows me more time to stitch. So I will keep you up to date with what I am working on.

Also I have recently opened my home 4 days a month (1st and 3rd Tuesday and Thursday of each month) allowing you to come and see my products "In the Flesh"...so to speak!
...or you can still shop online.

Hope to see you soon.
