planning new quilts in my mind.

Grand Reveal

I was so late to sewing on Saturday I had

to have my own Show and Tell

So here she is!!!!

Dear Jane finished.

18 months to hand piece,

then a little rest in the cupboard,

 so about a year. 

[ I was sooo over it]

But when I started to hand quilt, I really enjoyed

to journey.

Now I just have to think of her own name.

The back. Just love this fabric.

At sewing I did get to see Helen's quilt

Our mystery quilt from a couple of months

ago, all finished ready for her

grand-daughter. In pink and brown.

Beautiful

.

Anna started a quilt for a gift

that have to be finished by the 4th of

September

Good Luck Anna

its looking good so far.

Arctic Blast

This freezing cold snap we are living through

at the moment is good for only one thing.

Staying inside and sewing.

So this week I have,

4 peace cranes.

A set of coasters, quilt as you go, nesting

hexagons.

Finished another pair of socks.

Just love finishing.

I've pulled out a quilt top that has been in the

cupboard for quite some time.

I am enjoying being snuggled under a quilt

again, and hand quilting.

Swiss Chocolate

One of the new fabrics that is in store is called

swiss chocolate.

delicious name and delicious fabric.

My favorite so far from this delivery, but

I still have plenty to unpack.

The range of quilters muslins has

also been extended to over 70 different

colours, and they feel fantastic.

For the 'Sylvias Bridal Quilt' ladies

time to the Murray river quilters Quilt in, in

Wodonga

quilts for show and tell, some just back from showcase in

Melbourne.

All the quilts from "in the frame" challenge were

on display with all the stories behind each

Sneak peek

Dear Jane is FINISHED.

Binding and sleeve completed ready to hang, here is a tiny

sneak peek.

Just a little look, more later.

I'm thinking with one major finish

there should be more, so the next project to

be tackled could be the peace quilt.

so another 4 blocks this week,

or maybe I could start something new!

One the train to Melbourne [to the quilt show]

I finished knitting some socks

or maybe I should finish the other pair of socks

I have on the go.

The boxes that have been opened have got in them....

A great selection of new flannelette.

 can think of.
