I think I have mentioned before that a few of my friends have had baby boys. I have now made 5 of these Boy’z Quilts, and these are the last 3.
I quilted these quilts all differently just to show you the different look.

I had a lovely afternoon last weekend celebrating Chloe’s 3rd Birthday.
I had my camera with me and I couldn’t help but take lots of photos.
I was in the shop today working away while the weather was going crazy.
I had some fun making up some new packs. These would be great starter packs for some of Kellie’s patterns from Don’t look Know.
A lovely Aqua and Lime pack
A bright bunch of Yellow, Orange & Pinks
A pack with Wild Thyme fabrics and a collection of co-ordinates.
We have had some new patterns and kits new in store.
The lovely Novelty squares quilt made out of the Kokka Cotton/Linen fabrics. A really simple quilt but I think it showcases the fabrics beautifully. I just quilted this quilt using a walking foot.
Some new patterns from Melly and Me.
and some new patterns from Make it Perfect
I think I need a few of these!
Fab Frocks - too cute
All in pieces still but you get the idea.
I have used the natural colour in the linen/cotton fabrics that we stock.
Makes for an interesting background and it is also fabulous to quilt.
Number 3 niece, Chloe turns 3 tomorrow.
I have been busy making some clothes for the doll (kinder girl) that I made her for Christmas.
The first outfit that Wendy is wearing for you today,
is a ballet dress, complete with glitzy pink tulle.
now for some lovely striped pjamas, with a reversable top.
and last but at all least - a minkee dressing gown.
I want one too!
This new minkee design which is called raised stripe, is much easier to sew.
It doesn’t have the movement and stretch of the minkee dot.
I love new fabrics and these have definitely been getting in my brain asking me to sew something out of them!
I have just finished a new quilt, a scrappy nine patch. It is actually a queen size bed but as I am in a single at the moment, (well it was either the big bed or the sewing machine - guess which one I choose) I photographed it on that. Now my problem is…… what to call it.
So help me think of a name and if I choose yours you
can have my leftover blocks to get you started!
The lovely Kellie was teaching at Ballarat Patchwork last weekend, and I had such fun displaying all her quilts in our shop for the day.
It was the second day of a two day workshop, and I think all the
girls had a fabulous time!
and I am going to sneak this photo in.
Jennifer and I on our Amy Butler sample night,
wearing some of the samples. Amazing what a little
bubbly makes you do!
We are lucky enough to have visiting - the Amy Butler Trunk show.
This is a large collection of samples, showcasing her patterns and fabric.
The show will be with us until the 20th of this month.
We are also having a Amy Butler evening to which you are all invited.
