Month: December 2014

as 2014 comes to a close……it's time to refelect on the past year……And bring on 2015!!

I am so fortunate to have many friends in this wonderful world of patchwork, and I thank you all for your support, advice, encouragement and friendship…..it was a big year for me with the release of my book "Patchwork loves Embroidery" and my first fabric line "Baskets in Bloom", I love this industry I am in!

I have lots of plans for 2015 and I hope you may be able to join me in one of my many adventures…..

Martina over at Sunshine Quilting will be holding a Sew a Long, making any of my patterns….you may like to join her…

Ramona and I will again be hosting Stitched in Time on March 28th and 29th at Narre Warren……call Gail 0402 042 865 for bookings… ($100 per person)

I am having my first ever booth at AQC in Melbourne in April…

I will be in the US in May for Quilt Market and again will be doing a few classes which will be announced soon..

I will also be in Europe in Aug/Sept, again classes will be announced as soon as they are finalised…

there are other classes also booked and I will put a list up in January once they are all confirmed…

so…..Happy New Year to you all….

may it be a peaceful one with lots of stitching!!

Hi everyone!! Welcome to my blog and my day! For those that don't know me, I live in Melbourne, Australia and am so happy to be a part of this wonderful blog hop with THE most wonderful designers!!

Here is my project: a little candlemat (or perfect with a little bowl of chocs in the middle!)

We don't have any snow for Christmas here, usually it's quite warm (although it has been known to rain and ruin our game of cricket!!)

We do however still have all the trimmings (well my family does) and I am currently searching for our tree so that I can put it up and start the decorating!! And of course I have loads of stitched decorations, wall hangings, stockings etc..

I love Christmas and love all the yummy treats that come with it!!

Here is the recipe for cranberry and choc bit brownies…..you can put anything in though!!

my whole family love this!

125g butter

1 1/2 cups caster sugar

1/2 cup cocoa

2 eggs

1 cup selfraising flour

1/2 cup choc bits (more if you like!!)

1/2 cup dried cranberries (craisins)

Just remeber the temp is in CELCIUS!!!
