I have been busy stitching this week to get some new patterns ready for the upcoming AQM (trade show) in Melbourne. Here is a glimpse of one of the new stitcheries:
I have also made them into pockets on a bag so that there are a couple of options.
here is a work in progress:
and here is a matching one
there are another two to go with them and then I will make them up into a wall hanging ( I do reserve the right to change my mind though!!!) I will probably use the lovely blue fabric that is in the picture (madeira range) as you know how much I love blue! then there is the Christmas pattern also but that will have to be for another post.
The third coincidence that I mentioned that occured in Queensland is: we were camped in sunny QLD and the couple next to us were living in their caravan waiting while their new house was being built. The lady saw that I was stitching and mentioned that her daughter works in a patchwork shop in Melbourne. It just so happened that I was in that shop a week before we left and her daughter served me! (not quite the same as knowing someone but pretty close). it certainly is a small world.
Today Leanne left for her big adventure to Norway, so if you are one of the lucky ones to meet her, look after her for us and have a great time. We will miss her but look forward to hearing all about it when she gets home!! (not to mention the thousands of pictures..LOL).
Have a good weekend in your part of the world
Cheers

Hey Gail these designs are fab. Look forward to seeing the finished project. Have a great weekend. Cheers
Hi Gail, Your stitcheries are looking a little precious. Can’t wait to see them finished . I have been a sucker for blue fabric lately. Just bought this gorgeous powder blue with sweet little daisies on it. Very 1930’s. How’d your muffins turn out? LOL

I promise to take good care of Leanne 🙂
Meeting her on sunday and several other times next week. And I will report on my blog while she is here
Hi Gail, these designs are looking pretty delicious. I hope they end up in Bundarra with some of your other creations. Thanks so much, you’re an angel. x x x
Those designs are great! Must you tempt us like this?? =0)
your new designs are just great. I cant wait to see what you are making of them.

Ooooh love those stitcheries (and you know how I love to stitch) can’t wait to see the completed project. Will have to get Lorraine from Hettie’s to order me the pattern.
Gail – I especially love the heart blocks. They will look so pretty with the blue fabrics.
Howdy Gail, Just love your stitcheries – cant wait to see the finished project.
Love your new designs cant wait to see the finished items. Love your fabric choices as well. Cheers Sue
Hi Gail, love the new stitchery’s went to a little craft show on the weekend and got me one of those weeping willow trees. When all my commitments over the next couple of weeks finish and I can get into the sewing room I am going to be starting Seasons can’t wait.
I did meet Leanne here in Norway and I must say you are lucky to know such an inspiring person. I attended the “Trunk Show” and got to admire all the lovely quilts she had brought with her from Australia.
Love the colours that you are working with, I look forward to seeing it finished and on display at the trade show in Melbourne in November!
