Big Storms

Finished a small custom....among other things......some straight line work...loopy/loop background fill and 'Vickies flowers" repeated in the border...



The Caroline Bay Quilters invited Catherine Butterworth up for the morning to do a Show-n-tell....very inspiring...we have since booked her for a workshop in march 2014



Every second Saturday is a Sew-n-Chat which is allowing me a small amount of time to get some of my sewing done.....my scrappy drunkards path...





We have had several BIG storms lately....this photo was taken just before the heavens opened from outside the shop.....it got really DARK like dusk.....



Sprint to the Finish...

Feel like its a sprint to the finish with so much work to get done before the Christmas break....

..and because I have SO much spare time...NOT....I agreed to hand bind SEVERAL quilts for someone.......silly girl...

.....made a couple of table runners in an attempt to get my christmas mojo back...it's here at my place this year...

Missy Beth has lots of gigs to play over the next few weeks with the community band she belongs to...

"Forest Floor" from Lorien Quilting on an E-2-E one of my favouite patterns from way back...all other work at the moment is too top secret to show.

Looking forward to a few outings over the next two weeks. A Catherine Butterworth 'Show-n-Tell".......an inservice on quilt judging.....a Christmas lunch....a school presentation thingy where Miss Beth is receiving an award....and quilting, quilting, quilting..
Enjoy the coming week

Christmas Cringe...

I have ordered in some rulers to help get those mitred corners accurate....not many people get it right and end up with awful corners or wavy borders due to not enough fabric being taken out of the corners.....takes all the guess work out of the process....so that you can avoid the mess that you can see below...

 












Two E-2-E's done the top one is "Quills" by Lorien Quilting"...its is fast becoming a favourite....and below is 'Wildflower"....

Friday Showcase at the NSW Quilters Guild had Leanne Harvey from Mount Vincent Quilts as the guest quilter...LOTS of lovely BRIGHT, BIG quilts...a nice way to end the week...

The Christmas decorations are up in the shops which always makes me cringe......lots of quilts to get out the door between now and then...

Have a great week
