Month: October 2010

Well, the sun is shining, kids are at school, Jarrod has his Yr 12 English exam today, the first of 7, he will finish on Nov 10 and then what???

A great day to be outdoors, hopefully I can do some stitching this afternoon.

I have finished all the applique on "Berries and Bluebirds" and will now sew it all together…..here is a bit more of block 1

I am still working out how I am going to quilt it, I have 3 weeks to get it finished for the trade show in Melbourne. I will also start writing the patterns today, maybe, the sun is calling and I may need to sit outside for a while!

think it is time to stop and smell the roses, so to speak!!

Just also wanted to let you know that I am teaching a class at Foothills on Friday 19th Nov, if you can come along. You will need to do some stitching before you come though, so we can make the little book in class.

Here is a little photo for you

I would love to see you there!!! There is also a night class on Wed 10th Nov from 7.30 – 9.30, please contact Sandra if you are interested.

That's all for now….back to work

Cheers

Gail

I have been busy working away on my new BOM, (title to be yet decided!!!) with lots of applique, and my fingers are getting a little sore!!!! I have been using lots of repro fabrics and am loving it!!

I will tell you it has lots of bluebirds and lots of little berries….

so I am hoping this will be finished for the AQM in Melbourne in November……almost there but still some applique to do.

I have had a busy week with the family too, as Keegan turned 17, Jarrod finished school and Liam has had 2 dentist appointments…. not to mention a party tonight, working tomorrow and friends over on sat night!!!  Life is just so busy with teenagers!! At least I have had some chocolate to keep me going!!!

back next week with a bit more to show you, meanwhile I have a date with a needle and thread!!!

Have a great weekend!!

Cheers

PS I have added a couple of shops to purchase patterns list on the left… Patchwork Friendsy and The Christmas Shoppe

How exciting for me that four of my quilts will be at the International Pacific Quilt Fair in Santa Clara, California

Mary Jane from The Christmas Shoppe will have them on display and will be selling patterns!!!

A Christmas Welcome

Peace, hope and love

Provence

and Somerhill House

I hope that you will be able to go….and say Hi to Mary Jane for me!!

It is a very rainy day today, such a good day for sewing!!!

have a great weekend, maybe I will see you on Sunday at Quilts in the Barn?

What a wonderful day Melly, Natalie and I had at Warracknabeal on Saturday.

We drove up on Friday and set up our samples then it was off to Del's house for a delicious dinner. Talk about fantastic food, what a feast, topped off with apple crumble and a yummy, yummy lemon cake!

All the ladies had a great time, some even had their eye on the Grand Final replay, I must say the Collingwood supporters were very quiet, even thought their team won, too busy stitching I guess!!

At the end of a long day!!!

The Quilter's Harvest have more photo's on their blog, I almost forgot to take photo's I was that busy!!!!

Back soon with some little peeks at what I am working on.

Cheers
