another one!!

Okay, so by now you realise I am completely nuts….I have made another version of Berries and Bluebirds, just to give you girls out there a feel for a softer/fresh version.

still to be quilted…but you get the idea!!!

At AQM, I met the lovely Vikki who is designing under the label of Sew Useful Designs, here we are..

I was also lucky enough to come home with a fat quarter pack of Lynettes new fabric "summertime friends"

Good luck and happy summer to everyone in Aus, (even if the sun is NOT shining here in Melbourne!)

Cheers

Gail

  1. Gail I absolutely LOVE your new BOM Berries and Bluebirds…it’s at the top of my ‘Must Make’ list for 2011.
    Congratulations on designing such a gorgeous quilt.

  7. The new version of your quilt is beautiful! But then so was the first one! Thanks for the chance to win the pattern for this lovely! :0)

  10. Hi Gail! 🙂
    Gosh, you have been busy, busy, busy!! (Do you sleep???!!!) I love both colourways for your quilt – it’s always great to see a project made up in different palettes.
    It was an absolute pleasure meeting you at the AQM… I didn’t realise that I talked so much! TWO HOURS?!!!!! That’s got to be a record!! Ha ha!
    I hope your fingers aren’t sore from all that stitching!
    Hugs! Vikki 🙂

  14. Love the quilt, as I am only just learning to do needleturn it would certainly give me alot of practice.

  20. Your poor fingers must be so sore from all that needleturn! Congarulations! Love your new BOM its gorgeous and definately on my Chrissy List! The only decision I will need to make is which colourway! Keep up the good work!

  23. Gail…the new quilt is just lovely! I would love to be the winner of a set of patterns….thanks for the chance.

  24. What a wonderful series of blocks, Gail! They’re so fresh and fun. I’d love to make this quilt. Thank you for the chance to win.

  26. Oh Gail…Both versions are so beautiful. I would love to have the full set of the BOM patterns. I’m working hard practicing needle turn applique and it is coming along. Thanks so much for a chance to have the patterns to make one of your beautiful treasures. I will be crossing fingers and toes, maybe even my eyes in hopes of being the lucky winner. All the same I just have to say “Good Luck Everyone”. Big Hugs coming to you…

  28. Oh my!!! Are you sure you don’t ave a crew of elves working all night for you? My goodness, so much stitching in such a short time. What a gal!! I just adore the birdies and can see myself making this next year. Thanks for sharing all your lovely pics with us all and for the chance to win the pattern. Angel hugs.

  29. I do love this quilt! I have just recently taken a needleturn applique class. What a great quilt to perfect my skill on!

  30. Beautiful colors in both quilts Gail! I love the little birds and this quilt makes me miss summer! I would love to look out the window and see a little bluebird!

  32. Oh no! what a dilema – the original or the soft/fresh – big sigh – maybe both??. You either work 24 hours a day, are so fast at sewing that the mind boggles – or you have helpers. But both are so gorgeous.

  34. I would love to win because I’ve never been able to do a BOM, nor have I done much applique and what a way to learn!! This is beautiful!!

  36. Gail, I ahve been contemplating a needleturn quilt. Winning this BOM would be a great way to start. I love it And I think your birds are lovely Birds seem to be havng a popularity surge at the moment.
    Love the quilt and your ambitious effort of doing TWO of it. XX DebH

    Hugs Catherine xx

  44. Wow…..looks great in that colourway too! have you been sleeping much …?? I wouldn’t have thought so. You know I need another BOM….would love to win yours!

  46. Hi Gail, both versions of “Berries and Bluebirds” are just gorgeous!!! Well done to you!! It is a must for the list for next year … so please pick me!! 🙂
    Cheers Sue

  47. Hi Gail
    I would love the opportunity to win your lovely BOM, I love it both ways you have made it.

  52. Gail,
    This berries and bluebirds in the fresh version is my style!!!
    This BOM had to be the new challange of 2011 to start and finish!
    You have girlpower to make 2 quilts in so little time!

  53. Gail,
    The soft blerries and bluebirdsquilt is my style!
    Is this the challange for 2011 to start and finish the quilt??
    You have girlpower to make 2 quilts in so little time!

  55. I just love both BOM, but maybe the last one with lighter colours suits me most. I would love to make one, but have to wait to after Christmas.
    I didn’t manage to visit the shop where you work, when I was in Melbourne, but we had a lovely stay. But it was hard to go from 25-30 degrees down to -7 degrees. But we could live with it. Have a nice week.

  56. What a beautiful quilt Gail!!! This one is a “MUST DO” on my 2011 quilt list.Thanks for the chance to win. Here’s hoping!!

  58. Would I like to win? I would LOVE to win! It is such a beautiful BOM.
    And how wonderfu lto have met Vikki. She is such a sweet warmhearted lady!

  64. Love them both,thanks for the chance to win the pattern, fingers crossed and everything else! Keep up the great work.

  68. I loved the first version of your quilt and this one is equally gorgeous.
    What a fabulous giveaway prize! It is going to make someone very, very happy.
    Margaret

  69. Oh, this version is amazing as well! You must be doing applique in your sleep! Thank you so much for a chance in your giveaway, Gail.

  70. Congratulations for this new quilt! I love the two versions…Both are too gorgeous!
    Thanks a lot for this giveaway!
    Hugs from France under a lot of snow…brrr! LOL

  71. Oh!! Oh!! I Love it even more than the other one! I have a new sewing room, but if you keep this up I will have to move iin permanently, just to do all the sewing I want to do.
    xxxR

  72. Oh, I love them both!
    However I cannot promise I will make both of them should I win.
    Great summer to all you Aussies and I hope the sun will be shining soon. Here in Holland we have lots of snow and freezing cold…Brrrr, but I like winter!!

  73. Gail, I absolutely love the new quilt and I have nagged our local patchwork shop to get in the patterns. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy
    Love it sooooooooooo much
    Lee

  74. Agreeing with everyine – love your new BOM (in both colourways) – please enter me into your draw 🙂

  75. OMG! Where do you find the time? Absolutely love both versions. Count me in for the draw. Thankyou. xx Sue

  76. Gail, Have been watching as your blocks appeared and thought they were very nice but the whole quilt put together is fantastic. Even though there is lots of applique (not something I am that good at)your quilts are all achievable which is what makes them so good.
    Julie

  77. Well, your jusr to clever. They are both absolutley gorgeous. Us women sometimes are just amazing how we get things done. This quilt is definately on my to do list for 2011 as I just love it Gail. Well done!

  79. Hi Gail, what a beautiful quilt. Love the design and even though I usually the soft version girl but I think I prefer your first version. Not sure how you get so much done in such little time. Wendy

  81. What a lovely quilt. I love your patterns and I’d love to win a BOM of it.Even if the sun isn’t shining in Melbourne at least we aren’t snowed in like my brother in UK!I also think we are in for a thunderstorm as there are rumblings in them thar hills

  87. What a wonderful quilt!!! With those lovely birds and berries it feels like spring already. And for us the winter has not even started yet, although we are covered in snow in Holland.

  88. This quilt design is an absolute winner Gail. Congrats on a gorgeous creation. I am loving this one!!
    The new colourway is really lovely.
    I am so making this in 2011.
    Best wishes always

  101. How beautiful!! I would love a chance to win this BOM. I love your color choices and those sweet little birds. Thanks for the opportunity. Have a great weekend.

  102. Gail, I love both your different colourways for ‘Berries and Bluebirds’. Your choice and combination of fabrics is wonderful. I love all your designs and I have made many of them. Keep designing!

  107. Just love you Berries and Bluebirds BOM. I have not done much needle turn, but would love to be able to produce something like this. Thanks for the chance to win

  108. Gail, love the new colors, but now it makes it impossible to decide which I like better. They are both great. When do you find time to sleep?

  109. I am a big fan of your designs and made a few! I love the new one aswell! Both version look lovely! I never win anything, so I am not licking your feet LOL! I do mean it! I loved making your Christmas Wishes last year and it almost is time to hang it on the wall again and I just love watching it! I made your free design for x-mas with the tree layout this year as it would fit so nicely with the christmas wishes. It is a tiny quilt and hangs in my dutch quilthouse. Go over to my blog to spot a pic.
    http://craftluv.blogspot.com/ It is in the post of nov 29th. Well it is winter here with lots of snow! Have a great summer at the other side of the planet!

  110. Oh, Gail, TWO versions??? I love them both! and would love to win the patterns, but will be happy for whoever is the lucky lady. Thanks for the opportunity.

  112. oooo I like the softer/fresh fabrics best. (if possible) We are all so lucky that you have worked so hard to show us two options! Amazing. I have only used needle turn a few times, by the end of this BOM I would nearlly be a pro! lol. Thankyou for this opportunity to win you are very generous 🙂

  113. Just beautiful, Gail. I love the softer version of “Berries and Bluebirds”. I would really love to win, but if I don’t, I know the BOM will go to a worthy recipient. Thanks for making this possible.

  115. Hi Gail,
    I often visit your blog but never leaves any comment, but this time it is impossible to visit it without leaving track of my passage.
    This quilt is superb and I like both versions. I may have a slight preference for the first one but both are WONDERFUL.
    What beautiful work !
    Congratulations.

  116. Hi,
    I love your quilt. My passion is applique and I would love to make your quilt next year.
    Viv 🙂

  122. I don’t know if I still have a chance to win or not, but I did want to let you know that your “Berries and Bluebirds” quilt is just gorgeous.

  125. Custom made furniture is the latest trend in the interior design arena. Each person has his individual tastes and preferences with regard to the interior design of his home and accordingly needs furniture for it.

  126. I love the colours and theme of your Berries and Bluebirds BOM and would LOVE to win the pattern set.
    Where would we be without wonderful generous designers like yourself?
    Merry Christmas Gail and happy and creative wishes for 2011 to you and yours.

  127. Reasonably new to quilting but love doing stitcheries and appplique but I am not sure about what materials to use to finish off the blocks. These look great! I am yet to try your BOMs but the design and soft fabric says try me I would fit into your home beautifully.
    Well done! Willy
