Quilt Aid BOM

Hi everyone.

I am very pleased to have participated in a combined Block of the Month with 11 other Australian Designs for a Charity Project for World Vision Addis Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia.
There are 12 stores involved in this project each supplying just 1 of the 12 blocks.

My block went to the lovely shop"The Stitching Post" in Katoomba.

For further information on how the BOM runs and where you can purchase each block please visit Quiltaid .
Each shop has finished the quilt differently, so make sure you visit the quilt gallery, they are all finished off beautifully.
I hope you enjoy making my block as much as I enjoyed designing it.

New Design Nearly Done

Hi Everyone.

Hope you are all well.

I have been busy doing a little stitching, designing, teaching a few fabric painting classes in Geelong for Glenda at "A Little Different"and doing a short grahic design course in the city which I am enjoying immensely.

This year I decided to take it easy from tutoring as I was soooooo busy last year and felt like I was never home, so far it is going to plan....lol....

Earlier this year I was asked if I would like to be a part of a Charity BOM with 11 other great designers, the concept and final design will be out in a couple of months BUT will keep you all posted....

It is all very exciting.

Now getting back to my heading...lol....

I have "nearly" finished my bed topper, "boy" !!!!! I have had fun deciding on the patchwork design and the fabric to complement the painting...this was my second lot of fabric, I hope you like it....

Please let me know what you think.?

I still have to sew the borders to the centre piece and finish a little applique to the corners, then the quilting.

Next week I will give you a look at part of my NEW DESIGN for the little man in your life.....Trains, Bears, Toys & Soldiers another design in my

Bed Topper range.

Hope you all have a great weekend and looking forward to

hearing from you and what you have been up to.

Cheers

Big Birthday

...I am the old girl in the middle.....
..... My hand stitched quilt with 1006 pieces.....

.....My cake.....can you guess how many cakes ?.....
....BOO HOO....
I have had a big birthday since I spoke to you all last.. that's my excuse for not writing as I am getting old and slowing down....lol.
I had the best birthday ever though I have to say.
I celebrated it at my favourite French restaurant in Geelong called Le Parisien with my family and a few close friends.
Company, cards and gifts to remember my day forever.
The weather was perfect, my cake divine and a hand stitched quilt from my beautiful little sister, 1006 pieces she has written on the label on the back of the quilt to remind me "how much she loves me" she said....lol.
...It was the best...

My New Design

..... A section of my new bed topper.....

Hi everyone.

Hope this post finds you all well and stitching madly.

It's raining here today, what a beautiful sight it is when you haven't seen rain for as long as we have.......even the garden is smiling.

Here is a small section of my new project, it's a painted and stitched panel for a queen bed topper or runner whichever you like to call it, I haven't completed the patchwork part of it yet as I haven't found the right fabric BUT when I do you will be the first one to view it.

Let me know what you think of the panel so far please.

Have a good one.

Cheers

Welcome to the new year......
It has started in fast forward hasn't it with January already gone.
I have been busy, what about you ? I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas day with your families as I did.
On Boxing day my hubby and I heading down to Portland for a couple of days....have a look at the gorgeous mosaics I found down on the water front....not sure who did the work on it but it is amazing .
The week after the new year we headed off again to spend a few nights in Sydney, Nelson Bay & Newcastle.
The amazing road cut through rock between Sydney and Newcastle was unreal.
Had a helicopter ride over Nelson Bay...well worth the money if you are ever up that way.
Then back to Sydney to share the hotel with the tennis stars.
Saw a few tennis players BUT not sure who they were as I don't follow the tennis...lol...dam...
