Month: May 2010

As promised I picked two winners from the post "reading list" to win a copy of my new pattern "pretty in pink"

they are

Terry

Renai

so please let me know your details and I will post them to you.

If you are going to the Waverley Quilt Show on the weekend you will see my new design "springtime butterflies". It is made with a charm pack from Rural Jardin and some extra fabric.

The girls from Foothills will have kits and patterns, maybe I will see you there on Sunday!!

I will be back soon with the free pincushion from the challenge a couple of months ago. Tried to do it this post but not sure where the file ends up!!

Until then

Cheers

Well it looks like summer has gone for good…today is cold and rainy….and a great day for staying home and sewing! I have quite a few projects I need to get done…….two of those being for Country Hart Designs in South Australia. I am heading over to Port Pirie to do a workshop for Robyn on the weekend of July 31 and August 1. Can you guess who will be my partner in crime?……….This crazy lady here…..we are going to have so much fun! So if you would like to join us, go on over to Robyn's site, read all about it and let her know you are coming!!!

In the meantime I have managed to finish another new pattern….."Pretty in Pink". I can hear you all saying now……"pink!!!! what's with the pink!!"
 

I have used the pink and red fabrics from "Grandmothers Flower Garden" and I am very pleased with the way it turned out. (I actually finished them a while ago but couldn't decide on a name…and then I had trouble photographing them….but it's all done now)

As soon as they are printed I will give away two copies…BUT I will be choosing two people who have left a comment on a previous post…..so stay tuned!!!

Off to the sewing room now……

Cheers
