Cooma group

I've just had the weekend in Cooma doing 2 days with the Wednesday Piecemakers

Most of the girls were working on the NYB blkocks with great results as you can see.

Heidi from http://goneaussiequilting.blogspot.com.au/ was working with these Kaffe fabrics and solids - wow factor here.

Lots of colour in the room.....

with batiks...

autumn tones...

repro fabrics...

and even some William Morris. Just goes to show really anything works as long as there is CONTRAST!

Three rebels began my new Hatchet quilt. Not a quick project but fun all the same.

The Hatchet top

 

 Helen AKA Hell-on-wheels bought along her finished Basket Case top and here are a couple of her blocks. Click for a closer look at the embellished ric rac!

 Cooma is a lovely town and I had a great time with the group. They even invited me back next year!

Cushions

Have you got the latest issue of Homespun yet? It's the "Fresh" issue no 117

and I'm on the cover!

I have three cushion projects in the magazine using blocks from my Basket Case quilt.

Cushion 1

Foundation pieced with ric rac additions and giant ric rac around the outside of the cushion. It's white in  the first one and you can't see it very well.

Cushion 2

They make up to fit a 20" insert - add wider borders if you'd like them bigger.

Cushion 3

They were fun to make and you can raid the stash for all those "funky" prints that are so popular now.

The full quilt

This is the quilt the blocks were taken from with 15 different baskets for you to play with!
The pattern will be in my etsy shop next week.


Big day!

I've been busy lately celebrating as you can see by the cake.

 

Not too busy tho to send off Quilters Companion magazine and dvd packs to seven lucky blog readers.

But I can't send one to Debi, Kim and Effie who left comments because I don't have their addresses.

If any of you are reading this post please email me so I can get your prize to you.
