"Chatsworth"

A few weeks back I posted an image of a new quilt that I have started...."Chatsworth" I have decided to call it.

I began with a central paper pieced circle....

 Followed by some "Secret Centre Sewing".....

Adding the first border.....

I am happy now that this border is in place.....I had hand pieced this border the first time....however it just didn't want to fit....so onto the next option and it fitted just perfectly.
Today I will be outlining and making fabric choices for the next border.....Needle turn applique....
stay tuned for the next instalment...

Thought I would leave you with this image of a sunset  through the Jacaranda trees I took at my place some weeks ago....

Happy stitching

Another wet day here on the Central Coast....so glad I went to Bathurst over the long weekend to see my daughter....the weather was crisp but sunny and we had a lovely catch up.

Popped on out to Millthorpe for cake and a little peek about...wow how this small village has changed since I was a youngster growing up out there!

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea at The Old Mill cafe.


Busy today getting ready for the Sydney Quilt and Craft Fair (begins next week)...be sure to come and see us at our stand (C52) for lots of lovely kits, fabrics and patterns....and don't forget the huge  "Treasure Chest" will be on offer again this year....one ticket entry for every $50 spent.

Block of the Month packs have been sent out today (for blocks 5/6) so keep an eye out in the post for these.
Haven't signed up for the BOM?....there are still some programmes available .....the quilt will be on display at the  Sydney Quilt and Craft Fair if you would like a closer look.

thanks for checking in
