Our First Christmas Quilt

Judy has just finished quilting another quilt. This one is a fun and easy one - perfect to make from a layer cake. This one is made from the 12 days of Christmas by Katie Spain.

We are nearly finished getting our quilts ready for Darling Harbour. I can't believe that it is just 3 weeks away.

One Bizillion BC

The latest Sue Marsh range has arrived- One Bizillion BC. It is sooo much fun.
The range comes on a white and a black backgrounds. There are two really cute panels and matching borders.A really cute cameo print tops off the feature prints.

Then there are some great co-ordinates. Fun and funky rocks to brighten up any projects.
The red rocks would be great for applique projects.Then the set finishes off with three realy cute swirls and stars

Some fabulous visitors

We've had a great week of visitors last week. First we had a machine quilting class. It was a lot of fun as we talked about backing, battings and started quilting.Then there was the sale on Thursday Friday and Saturday. It was wonderful to see everyone who came along. We had people come from as far away as Perth - here they are.

Dreaming of Paris

I know you all like it when your parcels arrive in the mail. We have the same thing when the deliveries arrive. Well today when I came back from the post office there were six huge parcels waiting for us.

When I opened them up what did I find but the pre-release of latest fabrics from Robyn Pandolf - Rue Saint Germain. I was hoping these would arrive before Darling Harbour so I was thrilled that they arrived so soon.

The fabrics are just magnificent. Four pretty toile fabrics, two magnificent cameo borders, four beautiful bouquet prints and such lovely co-orindates. I just wanted to start sewing!

Beautiful blues, roses, greens and a lovely latte colour - Oh they are so wonderful!

Two more quilts finished off

Here are two more beautiful lounge quits that Judy has done. The first is made up with the Mayfair flannels. It is so lovely and snuggly.
The scone one is Wild Poppies - a wonderfully bright quilt to cheer you through winter.

And one to brighten your day

Yes they are coming thick and fast now. Here is a fast and easy one made from a Verna layer cake.

For the reproduction lovers

Our next quilt for Darling Harbour has come off the machine! It is a stunning queen bed Jelly Roll Quilt made from the Alliance fabrics. We were inspired by a antique dolls quilt and after a fun afternoon of designs (colouring in the squares in excel) we came up with this one. Judy then took it away and started sewing. It is quite a simple quilt to make and looks stunning!

This is the fabrics range that is raises funds for the Neonatal Emergency Transport service so you can feel warm and fuzzy just by buying the quilt!

Getting the Quilts Finished

If it's May that means that Darling Harbour Craft and Quilt Fair is next month. That could be why we are so busy getting our quilt tops finished!

Judy has done a lovely braided Jelly Roll quilt from the Nostalgia fabrics
