I'm back

Where have I been? Well no where really just busy and very slack in the computer world.  Recently I attended a
Susan Smith workshop and held a stall there.  And.... while I was there I couldn't resist her newest design called "Stonefields". Susan has been working very hard on this large 96" quilt which she is making for a movie. How exciting for her!!! and Susan has kindly let me run her design as a block of the month programme.  If you contact me at the shop I will have more information for you but in the mean time check out my versions of some of the blocks. If I can get enough numbers Susan will also come and teach for the day and bring along her quilts for show and tell so if you are interested I can only take the first ten names.

The fabrics will be the same as mine subject to availability and if not they will be very close and just as nice.

And..... just in time for Christmas

 

Just in time for Christmas I have received Margo's favourite shirtings. I think they are my favourite too.

 

 

And Judie Rothermel's 25th anniversary line.  If you have been very good this year you could treat yourself to a fabric bundle or two.

Fabrics

And here are some more fabrics in stock. Above is Leesburg the lastest Jo Morton. Isn't the border print just devine. And below are a select few of the Alice Putnam range. Also in the range include some really nice checks. Will try and remember to put a photo on soon as well as Mill Girls by Judie Rothermel.

Latest fabrics

Here is a photo of the lastest fabric range to arrive..... it is called pomegranate. And below are the Jo Morton fabrics "Sweet Emelie".

Houston has a problem......

Well it has been way too long since I last posted but boy has alot been happening.  Westalee rulers came along and we had a workshop doing the double wedding ring and the dresden plate.
Very clever I must say.

The photo is a picture of a gorgeous range of fabric called Modern Meadows by Denyse Schmidt. Other fabrics to have arrived were Sweet Emelie by Jo Morton, Independence Trail from Moda and Alice Putnam from Wyndham.

Arriving very soon are ranges called Pomegranate and Leesberg. 

I recently went to a workshop by Karen Cunningham. Highly recommended. Even though I have been sewing for over 20 years I find there is always something to be learned from others.

Speaking of learning I am off to Houston in 2 days time. How exciting. I'm sure I will have lots to share when I return. Until then keep sewing and I will post some news as soon as I can.

Ps Cootamundra is hosting a quilt exhibition on Sat 10th and Sun 11th November. If you are in the area come along for some inspiration then call in to the shop and say hello as I will be open both days.

Photo Fixed

 I managed to fix the photo of Karen with her quilt. I had to rotate the photo on my camera and then reload it into my photo folder on the computer.

Here is a fabric range that recently arrived. It is called "Christmastime" by Anni Downs. There is a cute wallhanging in the current Homespun magazine using these fabrics. What I think is particularly nice about this range is that these fabrics (especially the checks) can be used in any project and not just Christmas things.

And here are some of the "Bonnie Blues" that arrived around the same time. I am thinking little stars maybe... stay tuned.

Show and Tell

And here is Karen from the Thursday class with her stunning lone star quilt made using fabrics from the French General range Le Petit Ecole. Sorry the image is sideways but attempts to fix it have failed any tips on how to fix would be appreciated.
