News for May

Well, I really did think I had already started this blog and was in front, but it must have been wishful thinking.  I hadn't even posted the April post, so . . . .  I will have to try again to get on top of this.

So I promised some photos of my quilts next, so here we go.  Firstly another Accuquilt class at the Quilting Patch in Nowra saw me with lots of parallelograms cut from Kaffe Fasset and Amy Butler fabrics.  The Kaffe Fasset gems had been purchased on our travels around Australia a couple of years ago, and they came from Geraldton.  I love the bright vibrant colours in these fabrics.  The resultant quilt took some time to put together (because I agonised over where to put each piece), but I believe is quite stunning. Hope you agree.

Recently I purchased some Charm Square packs - I have Whitewashed Cottage (Three Sisters), Aloha Girl (Figtree) and Block Party (Sandy Gervais).  They are available for just $15 each, plus postage. I still have some available and if you would like any, they are available from my Etsy shop, or you can email me and I will send a PayPal invoice.
I also have some Daysail (Bonnie & Camille) fat quarters.  There are 6 fat quarters for just $25, plus postage.
And having those gorgeous Charm Packs available, I would have to use them to make a quilt now, wouldn't I?!  This quilt is called Block Party - because it's made using Block Party charms (not very original am I!!).
Lynda has been busy again, so next time I will have some more of her lovely quilts to show you. I have also dragged out some very old quilts that had been partly hand quilted - I intend to finish them on the machine, so that they can at last be used. One is my original hand pieced sampler quilt - I had to wash it first to get the dust out of it.  That should make for some interesting quilting (I hope).

Until next time - happy quilting.
