"On the road again"!

This past 2 weekends has just been non stop!
Weekend before last was the lovely Fairholme Quilters Exhibition..... A little bit of rain did not dampen the event.

Just loved the quilting in this one....

Last weekend was the Caroline Bay Quilters Exhibition..... lots of sunshine for this weekend. A fabulous array of quilts at this event which is only held every second year. So for those of you who missed out you will have to wait now until 2018!

And this weekend I am off to Springwood for the annual community quilt show...
So come along to the show....I will have lots of $10 p/m fabrics as well as a wonderful tray of bargain fabric bundles and patterns....but be quick...they won't last long!

The Chatsworth Quilt and Bubble and Squeak will be on show with patterns available.

For this weekend only there will be a saving of 20% on the next post out for the American Reproduction Fabric club for new members who sign up at the show.

See you there

Bubble and Squeak

Hi and Welcome....So happy to share my new pattern...."Bubble and Squeak" with you.
It has such a warm and fuzzy feel to it....I just love how scrap quilts make me feel.
A great quilt for quilters of all levels using your fabric stash only...and of course the more diverse your scraps the better they look.
The border and binding fabric is the beautiful Eliza's Indigo fabric by Betsy Chutchian for Moda (you will need 80cm) and the blue fabric for the tiny squares is Alice's Scrapbag by Barbara Brackman for Moda (30cm)....both of which I still have some left.

The finished quilt measures 44" x 52" but of course you can make it bigger if you wish.
The pattern instructions have lots of colour images for you and comes complete with Mylar templates so there is no need to fuss around cutting your own....to purchase your copy Click Here.

Thanks for stopping by

The Chatsworth Quilt...Finished and Available Now

Finally the last stitch was placed into the appliqué and Hooray its all finished....the top that is!

I have loved making this quilt....making a promise to myself to use fabrics that I was saving for a rainy day and not touching the draw of scraps for any of it.....well that didn't quite happen as I did delve into that draw for some of the snowball blocks.

Lots of berries and tulips in this pretty quilt and I just love that vine fabric....I sometimes think it looks like a zipper!...the blue border is also rather a departure for me as I find it hard to work with strong blues....but they are calling to me with some of the lovely indigo fabrics I have here at the moment.

Its really hard to get a great image with such a large quilt (as I am not a professional) so take a look at the other posts about this quilt both on this BLOG and my other BLOG for lots of other images.

Now its onto the pinning and then thread basting of all 3 layers before I can start the hand quilting.....Oh and did I say that the pattern is now available?...full and comprehensive instructions along with full pattern sheets and stencils (no photocopying for you) and lots of colour images and diagrams inside.....Click Here to get your copy now.
