Very cute! I would choose the top left

I’d have enough fabric I am sure

using Rosalie Quinlan’s fabric range, Grandmother’s Flower Garden.

and last but not least – a lovely new book, Sweet Booties.

A beautiful book arrived a couple of days ago, Rosalie Quinlan’s new masterpiece, A Stitch in Time. Full of lots of ideas from quilts, dolls to birds and stitcheries. Chock full of lovely photos too. We also have some of Rosalie’s fabric Grandmother’s Flower Garden which has been used in lots of the projects.

Thought I had better let you know there is a fabulous
quilt exhibition coming up in Ballarat.
The group that I am a member of has an exhibition every two years
and it’s on soon.

Ballarat Mining Exchange

where: 12 Lydiard Street North

when: 31st October – 1st November

You can see some photos from the 2007 exhibition here.

The space is fantastic for displaying quilt and there are also some shops coming along too!

All members of Ballaarat Quilters will be recognisable
wearing their own hand made two inch quilts as a badge.
I might have got a little carried away with mine
but it was lots of fun to piece!

check this out – bought it today from Big W.
an ironing board cover that tells you what it is!

love it!

I had to show you these lovelies. Check them out here!

As you all already know Rosalie Quinlan has designed some fabrics for Lecien and they arrived yesterday. Such sweet little prints and lovely fresh colours! Great work Rosalie, we love Grandmother’s Flower Garden.

I love fabrics with lettering, type etc and I was so excited when I
first saw this range Au-then-tic from Moda.
Don’t you just love it.

I have also been busy getting all our different bias up on the web page – you can check them out here.

Make it perfect have done it again. Look at this sweet little skirt and t-shirt set called Blossom, my mum made for Olivia. She is the best dressed kid I tell you.

I also had to take a pic of all our delicious red and white fabric. I not long ago made a Bear’s Paw quilt out of reds and whites and I really feel the need to make another one. Thinking of a pickle dish – I must be mad.

and I also wanted to show you our new range of fabrics called Odyssea. Just beautiful colours and designs, love the fish!

and finally a finished quilt. This Grandmother Braid quilt was made a little while ago. It has been quilted by Elizabeth from the Quiltworks and my lovely mother put the binding on.

I made this dress for Chloe (niece number 2) last Christmas using the Make it Perfect Pattern – Pinny. Lucky little girl having a holiday up north!

Check out my new sleepover bag from Melly & Me – yes it is finally finished and I love it. It is made out from the Hushabye range of fabrics.

We have also just got Leon too. Isn’t he a sweetie?

The lovely Rachel from over a at Four Wise Monkeys has put together the Matryoshka Quilt designed by Rosalie Quinlan.

I choose to make ours out of reds, pinks and greens. I love the freshness of the colours and also the mint green. Nice change from all the lime greens I usually use. We have put together some packs of our version of the  Matryoshka quilt.

Another quilt I have finished is Springtime Squares. A really simple quilt using 9 fat quarters and border fabric. I have used some lovely fresh and bright Amy Butler fabrics.

A few new books arrived last week including Kaffe Fassett’s new one Quilt Romance and some others you can check out here and here.

and lots of lots of red and whites!
Fantastic for Audrey & Maude’s Pattern Baubles.

and we are now selling Nicole Mallalieu’s bag patterns. Our first pattern we have from Nicole is a kit to make the barrel purse.
