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

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.
