All About the Bees

I’m back to show you my new fabric line to be delivered in January 2020. It seems like a long way away but it’s not really!

It’s a bee theme, which is so in right now!

I am so thrilled with how it has come out, I can’t wait to play!

you can see all the designs at https://www.henryglassfabrics.net/all-about-the-bees/

I hope you like it as much as I do! Ask your local store if they will be getting it in. I am hoping to have a list of Australian Stores who will be stocking it soon!

Have a great weekend!

cheers

Christmas Elves

My new fabric Christmas Elves arrived in June and will be in stores now!

It’s so cute with elves all over!

The panel features 9 elves to make into a quilt and the stocking panel makes 3 stockings.

It’s a perfect time to start sewing for Christmas!

cheers

new books!

My new book Changing Seasons is out now and I am thrilled with the way it’s turned out. There are 17 stitcheries to mix and match. It is available now!

Another new book just released from Martingale is called Stitched From The Heart by Kori from Olive Grace Studios.

It is just DIVINE!!

I have decided that I NEED to make this pillow this weekend…even though I have a lot of work to do before I leave for Market in May..Don’t you just love it!!

The other book on my to do list is some projects from Tracy Souza’s new book Stitched So Sweet

her designs are just So Sweet!! My plan is to get some ready to take on the plane, 15 hours is plenty to get some stitching done!!

Check out some more photos at https://www.shopmartingale.com/

and do yourself a favour!!

Happy Stitching

Martingale sew a long with Quirky Little Quilts

Martingale along with Temecula Quilts is hosting a sew a long to make the Shoo Fly sampler which is in the book, Quirky Little Quilts.

I am going to join in using lots of my scraps, and of course a blue fabric as well.

Here is the link to the book https://www.shopmartingale.com/quirky-little-quilts.html

Follow Martingale on Facebook and Instagram and read all about the sew a long on their blog here https://blog.shopmartingale.com/quilting-sewing/a-new-quilt-along-join-us-to-make-a-mini-sampler-quilt/

I can’t wait to get started and am secretly thinking I could start this weekend. At least I could cut out the blocks, that would be a great head start for me.

Join in, it will be fun!

Happy Stithcing

Changing Seasons- New book

I am excited that my 4th book with Martingale is due out on April 1st.

I had a lot of fun with this book, as the projects were quick to stitch and then make up.

there are banners for all the celebrations through the year and framed mini quilts for changing out when you need a different saying. Plus stitcheries to celebrate each season.

go to Martingale to see a few more photos https://www.shopmartingale.com/changing-seasons.html

happy stitching!

cheers

Happy New Year.

Ok, so we are well into the New Year with Feb just around the corner!

Just wanted to pop in and share my next fabric line that will be released in May. It’s called Christmas Elves and is oh so cute.

There is a panel of 9 elves plus a stocking panel to make up 3 stockings for the little ones (or big ones!)

 

The full range can be seen on the Henry Glass website here http://www.henryglassfabrics.net/christmas-elves/

I’m excited to work with these fabrics!

After all Christmas is not that far away!

happy stitching!

Send my Love BOM

My new BOM for 2019 is now released to shops and it’s been very popular.

If you would like to make this 6 part BOM, please ask your local store to get it in for you, or email me for your closest store.

I have done mine in blue/grey but it would look fabulous in red or any other colours!

hope you like this one, it’s lots of fun to do and very quick too. Oh and the little stitcheries would look great on bags, a tablerunner or a wall hanging, lots of possibilities!

enjoy!

cheers
