Along with Wendy Wyth and Karen Mersiades from Qld we had no hesitation awarding this Colourful Retina BOS. Made by Sugy Kim, it's hand and machine pieced and hand quilted. It was more amazing in real life and it will be travelling Australia as the Best of the States for Bernina. Don't miss it if you get the chance - it's superb.<br />

I'm not often asked to talk to groups but this month I had three different occasions to perfect my public speaking skills. First was Camden Country Quilt Guild then Cherrybrook Quilters. These were both such friendly and welcoming groups I felt right at home instantly. Finally a presentation to the <a href="http://australianquiltstudygroups.blogspot.com.au/2017/01/2017-quilt-study-group-of-nsw-events.html">Quilt Study Group</a> which functions under the umbrella of Quilt NSW.</div>
They have great meeting rooms in the Rocks and I'll definitely be attending them more often.<br />

Have you seen the latest issue of <a href="https://www.isubscribe.com.au/Quilters-Companion-Magazine-Subscription.cfm?mckv=shYNA6J1w&pcrid=79112008944&plid=&kword=&gclid=CjwKEAiAsMXBBRD71KWOh6fcjRwSJAC5CNE1tOMSr_6AzMeKOBEc0URhJ4zMpE5fZRZ3oi5j3K1g_hoC5dTw_wcB">Quilters Companion</a> magazine - issue 82? I'm the featured dvd this time with my Pickled Fish quilt. It was such a hoot filming way back in July and they do a great job to make us all look our best on the day. The pics in the mag are excellent too so if you give this foundation pieced project a go please send me some pics of your blocks.</div>

I hope you like it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBdBzjJozCsefhjgYRgsqZG0xioK6-Emt_Zv4vI7KKw9YkwJFNpGIbZ_B7Azssq4ilOeweiGZPfuYoyM_nu19fq6HtBwO01tRQNvTxkrcA7aMuIgMGIQwr_AJQrc4IWeXW-RCxjdUGU7E/s640/blogger-image--1737860961.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBdBzjJozCsefhjgYRgsqZG0xioK6-Emt_Zv4vI7KKw9YkwJFNpGIbZ_B7Azssq4ilOeweiGZPfuYoyM_nu19fq6HtBwO01tRQNvTxkrcA7aMuIgMGIQwr_AJQrc4IWeXW-RCxjdUGU7E/s640/blogger-image--1737860961.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU139_z8KhEVWspSxIW1fDv95N0V-AFhDDGY3H6NKaf2Wzestuqq1xk88-VT0cthcp3ANzjyggdrAtPGmla10XKZxWXgX7uqqR0pyr9w7DTtlib78TZaaYXLYBRw-s_PbidpErbdolOXs/s640/blogger-image--1370911503.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU139_z8KhEVWspSxIW1fDv95N0V-AFhDDGY3H6NKaf2Wzestuqq1xk88-VT0cthcp3ANzjyggdrAtPGmla10XKZxWXgX7uqqR0pyr9w7DTtlib78TZaaYXLYBRw-s_PbidpErbdolOXs/s640/blogger-image--1370911503.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is a block from the quilt.
