Sorry it has taken so long to announce the winners of a copy of Anni's new book. Uni exams are finally finished today so I can finally concentrate on other things in life again. The first winner is Vanessa and the second is Kerry, so send me your addresses and Anni will post of your books.
Anni is also having another giveaway of some new patterns, so head on over to Hatched and Patched to go in the draw for one of these gorgeous little christmas patterns, love the bon bon one.
Last Saturday I ran a workshop at the Women's Gathering held in Coonamble this year. The theme was Looking Back Moving Forward and Anni from Hatched & Patched designed a gorgeous set of projects around this theme which she has turned into a book.
Anni made some beautiful kits up and I have one left for for the cushion and pattern for this project only ( you can see a pic on Anni's blog), so leave a comment on this blog and one on Anni's and we will do a draw when Anni returns from the quilt show in Houston. Use your comment on Anni's blog to ask a question about Houston !
Hopefully I will be back posting more regularly after Uni finishes next month...... no sewing happening here at the moment at all.
A parcel full of lovelies from a birthday swap a few weeks ago...
The fabric in the bag is from one of my favourite ranges... Ay Waters Edge by Moda... the fudge is yummy and here is a close up of the adorable cicada bag...
He is now in my handbag with my sun glasses in him...thanks so much Bennie.
This pretty parcel was from Ann_maree.. can you see the charm for my pandora bracelet...it is the breast cancer ribbon.. those pretty fat quarters are from a new mary Rose collection.
Not much posting happening here as I am overflowing with Uni work and work so am trying not to be distracted by sewing. Off today to the Uni at Armidale for a week of lectures. I am a bit of a home body and don't like going away so I always find it difficult but I think I am organised so that helps.
Have a great week !
Unfortunately there's not much sewing happening here. I started a new job about 7 weeks ago plus Uni has recommenced so I have been trying to get into some sort of routine and it so isn't happening. My limited sewing time has only produced crazy mom quilts star quilt along blocks
I still need to make the connecting blocks.
This will be the centre block for theMedallion Quilt-along, I am behind with this...
It was one of the Dolly quilts I received from Material Obsessions
I am staying up to date with my Designer blocks from Fat Quarter Shop.
The third one came this week so hopefully today that will get done.
It's been a bit windy and chilly here the last few weeks, so we have all been vying for a good position in front of the fire...
You can see the windy clouds behind some of these customer quilt pics, have managed to do a few...
This is one of Anne-Maree's...
I am also plodding along with my challenge quilt with Anne-Maree...
This week a friend brought my first part of Anni's new BOM - Pockets of Posies back from Anni's shop The Home Patch in Bathurst for me...
Don't you love the packaging...can't wait to start this one, love the fabrics, they are exactly the same as the original quilt.
A few more quilts finished this week. These two belong to Toni @ the red boot company. The first one I can only show a sneek peak as it is a project for a magazine....
This lovely bright one is a new pattern Toni will be offering...love this bubble quilting pattern..so fun !
I have signed up for the cutest Pincushion Club over at Quilt Fabric Delights - can't wait till the first one arrives, each month you get a pakage of goodies to make a pincushion from these wonderful designers - Leanne Beasley, Melly & Me, Rosalie Quinlan Designs, the Janelle Wind Collection, Crabapple Hill Studio , Squirrel Momma and Pinks and Needles.
