This past Saturday we had Kellie from Don’t Look Now, teaching her fabulous raw edge applique and free motion quilting class.

Watching Kellie, she makes it look soooo easy!

(sorry can’t remember who did this one or the next)

We wil be running some more classes with Kellie but
not until next year due to renovations on the class room
and back of the shop.

We had some lovely quilts made in our recent Star Sampler for Beginners class.
Check out these stunners. Pretty impressive for a first quilt!

I started my Dear Jane at the same time as Kirsty, how did she finish hers!

I am in love with this quilt! I will try and get Kirsty to loan
it to me for a while, it is so beautiful!

For those of you that missed out on Kellie’s Little Monsters pattern in the Kid’s Issue of quilters Companion, no need to worry as we now have the pattern. This pattern also comes with two quirky cushions that are just a bit too cute.

Kellie taught here a couple of weeks ago and one of her students, Michelle,
has gone crazy! She loves the technique and is obviously very good at it!

Well I have been telling you for quite some time that I have been working a secret project.

It is finally finished and off to live at it’s new house – Chez Ric-Ric.

This quilt was made with the wonderful help of all you fantastic bloggers out there. I collected the blocks – selvedge of course, then put them all together in a quilt to celebrate Jodie’s big birthday last year.

It was so much fun to make but alas, I didn’t take any photos because I was too excited to give it to the girl.

Lucky she just put a photo on her blog and I have just borrowed it.
Thanks Jodie

A lovely customer of mine, Carly, came in during the week to show me her weekender travel bag. It is an Amy Butler pattern and Carly used one of the Kokka Linen/cotton fabrics. She then piped it in red hanky linen.

This month Ballarat Patchwork has 20% OFF it’s Kokka fabrics for you to enjoy.

I have also had quite a few friend’s having bubs. 3 boys in the last month or so. So I have to make 3 new baby boy quilts and just in case I thought I would make an extra one. This is number 1 quilt.

I recently discovered two Ladies working on the Snowflake Medallion quilt together. They across the world from each other but keep up to date with their blogs. I love seeing this quilt made up in different colours, it’s so exciting!

We had a lovely class on the weekend with just two students in the class. Mum taught the Double Wedding Ring quilt. A very tricky quilt to piece.

Mum and I made some quick cushions using Prints Charmings paisley hand prints. I just stuck the coloured bits on and then free motion quilted it all. Mum did the backs using strips and the quilt as you go method of assembly.

Barb Matheson has been busy making our Blossom Creek Quilt designed by Natalie Ross. The very talented Elizabeth Zabinski of the Quiltworks machine quilted it beautifully.

I also started making the two little cuties from Melly and Me, Twitter. I got side tracked and Mum is finishing them for me. Isn’t she sweet!

Our Annual Stocktake Sale is now on.

I think it’s a good name for a new nursery rhyme.

Our last class for beginners “Star Sampler” has just finished and once again we are very proud of all our new patchworkers. Congratulations Ladies, your quilts look great!
