Quilting Patterns

A delivery from Lorien Quilting from her 'Short and Sweet ' range.....only 5" high ......will be running some Edge-to-edge classes on the domestic machines and on the sweet 16......stayed tuned...

This beauty went home to its owner..........another custom quilt bites the dust.....

Road testing a marking pencil that one of the stall holders at "Craft Alive" in Dubbo was using.....supposed to come off with water......I am marking up a 'Walking foot wholecloth' designed by ME......will let you know the outcome when stitching is complete and quilt has been washed.

I am off to do an in-house service on a sweet 16 today.....then plan to have the afternoon off.

Sun is peeping thru'.....enjoy.

Long Weekend

I am at the tail end of the Easter long weekend.
Planning on a day at home catching up on domestics after a really busy few weeks.

I took the "Red Shed " on the road last weekend and travelled out to Dubbo to participate in "Craft Alive".
A really positive experience.....I met lots of lovely people.....and caught up with some people from home....I grew up in the region......even chatting to one of my old school teachers. LONG drive though with the station wagon bursting at the seams with backing fabrics, wadding etc.

Miss Beth plays flute in a local band...the Wallarah Community Band.....and this Easter weekend we travelled to Sydney in the pouring rain to participate in the National Band Competition.....our band was in D grade.......so proud.....the band WON!!! they played beautifully....here they are at the start of the performance....

I am a sponsor for the Quilters Guild of NSW Inc. show for the first time......17th -21st June....anyone have a quilt in the show?

Anyway.....much catching up to do......and sun is finally out.....might get some washing dry...
