Melbourne Cup Day.
It is Melbourne Cup Day today and, YES, we do have a holiday for a horse race here! It would be appropriate to find something to do with horses and quilting. I do not have anything with horses on it. This is the closest I can get. Will it do as a substitute?
Blogger’s Quilt Festival for Amy’s Creative Side.
Amy, at Amy’s Creative Side, is hosting her fourth Blogger’s Quilt Festival. I have enjoyed looking at hundreds of quilts that have been entered in the past festivals and have been inspired by all those wonderful people. This time I have the opportunity to participate too, so am jumping in feet first. Here is my […]
Blue Kaffe Fassett.
I have working on this quilt off and on for a few weeks now. The piecing was straight forward – a four patch, patterned white between blocks and single patch corner stones. I love the colours.

This quilt was made in a class with Jennifer Knol. A few friends attended the class together at Candleberry Country. Natalie (Candleberry Country) put together a kit for each of us so we could have a wide range of fabrics. All the blocks are made from half square triangles then the blocks are arranged to […]

Bow Tie.

Seeing Stars.
I am trying to make 24 of these. Still not at the half way mark !
Shared Blocks.
Many patchwork and quilting groups make friendship blocks and mine is no exception. Our group had to select the block we prefered, provide the pattern and give and indication of the colour preference. Over time all the blocks are completed and returned to the person who chose the block. I selected a signature block and […]
At The Machine
Steady rain for most of the day here so a good excuse to stay in. I used my time to start quilting this quilt made with Kaffe Fassett fabric. Just using cross hatching. Sounds simple but lots of concentration needed to keep those lines straight.
