they are just three of my nine!! thanks to Sharon and Nancy for showing them on their blogs!!! They are just the most gorgeous dolls!!

I have nothing new to show yet, I have been working on projects for workshops, but I am going to start some new projects this week so maybe I will have some pictures next time! I hope so!

Well I just couldnt think of anything else for the title! So here is a little look (a bit blurry!) of one of the projects for Gum Valley Patchworks Stitching Day in September.

all will be revealed on the 24th September if you will be joining us!

I am looking forward to the day and meeting lots of lovely ladies. My friend "granny Loz" will be coming over to spend the day with us and then we will take some time to relax and enjoy a short holiday.

My "baby" Liam had his 14th Birthday yesterday and we had a lot of fun bowling and going to the movies, followed by dinner with family. I can't believe he is so tall (taller than me and I am not short!!) and growing up so quickly!

I also want to let you know about this great new magazine from the US.This is the fall issue (2nd issue)

it is full of lots of lovely primitve projects, I have already picked one out to start! Here is the blog if you want to have a look.

Just have to show you Berries and Bluebirds in "pink". The girls at Quilters Harvest have made a very different colourway and it looks so fabulous!!

If you are interested in making it, please contact the shop

have a great weekend, I am off to the sewing room to see if Dear Jane will pop over with some finished blocks!!

My quilt "one little flower" (okay so there are 83 really) will be the project for a class at Foothills Fabric and Threads on Thursday 18th August at 7pm.

This is a great quilt to use up lots of scraps and to learn needleturn applique (by the last flower you will be an expert!)

So if you would like to join us please ring the shop on 9754 6166 to book in!!

I am happy to be home now until the end of september when I travel down to Gum Valley Patchwork to teach at a workshop with Lenora. I think it is full but you can always ask Linda to go on the waiting list!

You must go over to Linda's blog and see her Dear Prudence quilt. It is made of tiny 1/4" hexagons and won best of show at the Melbourne Craft Fair. It truly is stunning to say the least. A big CONGRATULATIONS to Linda!!

Have a great week everyone

Cheers
