Progress!

For the past 2 years (and a bit) I have been making a quilt called Irish Circles by Karen Cunningham. Well I am feeling a little bit excited as I have now managed to complete all of the inside blocks. All I have to do now is the borders. One border is appliqued and the other is pieced. I am hoping it is not going to take me another 2 years to finish them...... Here is a sneak peak at some of my blocks. I will post another photo once I have them sewn up together.

Woven Bag Workshop

A few weekends ago I held a woven bag workshop. Here is a photo of what the girls accomplished. There will be another workshop later in the year for those interested contact the shop and we will put your name on the list.

But wait there's more.....

A little bit more to tempt you, Cochecco Mills IV by Judie Rothermel and......

Secret Garden by Lynette Anderson with cute little beehives, flowers and ladybeetles. I particularly like the mauves.

Double the flood

Whilst our little town of Cootamundra was being flooded with rain, my shop was being flooded with new fabric arrivals.  Here are some of the ranges, I will endeavour to show you more in a couple of days.... stay tuned.

Firstly from French General.......

Then there was Bridgeport by Jo Morton......





Monsters Eek

Well most of you would recognise the movie Monsters Inc... Well this little quilt kit is titled Monsters Eek. I have made one up which is hanging in the shop nice and bright for the kids. They are available for $40.00. Very quick and easy to make.

Finally!

Welcome everyone to my new blogspot. I began patchworking in 1993 making numerous amounts of quilts to build up my skills. In 2002 I began teaching at the Cootamundra Sewing Centre. In 2009 the opportunity arose for me to purchase that shop and so now I am the proud owner. Over the past 2 years I have been increasing the stock levels of the shop so that I now have a beautiful big range of reproduction fabrics. I also stock other styles however my love for antique look quilts has led me down that path.

The newest range to hit the shop has been "Hannah Wallis" c1840 by Wyndham Fabrics. Here is a pick of some of what is available.

At the moment I am madly trying to finish the quilt titled "Pie in the Sky" from the Kim Diehl book "Simple Graces" here is a pic of work in progress. Kits are available just contact me at the shop. The book is also available and has many other yummy projects in it.
