Just a short post today,
I wanted to share these stunning camellia flowers
that were gifted to me yesterday from a friend.
Stunningly beautiful large double flowers,
so heavy the stems can hardly hold them up.
One flower fell off in the car coming home,
it fits perfectly in this vintage glass bowl.
Feeling totally spoilt.
This week I have been playing with Christmas fabrics.
These mostly have silver glitter.
Whist these have mostly gold.
A few Christmas tree blocks completed.
As well as some cute present blocks.
Stay tuned for the completed quilt top when the pattern is released.
Some of my classes/workshops that are coming in the near future:-
August- Baltimore Garden, if you love applique & 3D flowers then this is for you.
Contact Sonia or Debbie at The Sewing Bee Cafe for details.
August- Winter Blooms also with applique & 3D flowers. A two day
class at Lily Lane. Contact Jennifer for more details.
September- Steel Dahlia, mostly machine piecing with some applique.
Contact Maureen at Palm Beach Quilting for more details.
Would love to see you at any of the above classes/workshops.
Winter Blooms weekend workshop at Lily Lane in Rosedale.
In amongst the chatter and laughter eight lovely ladies came to learn the art
of needleturn applique and making 3D flowers.
If you would like to participate in the fun another Winter Blooms weekend workshop
is taking place next month at Lily Lane. Would love to see you there.
Yesterday I picked up one my new quilts ‘Jardin Parisien’ for the quilters,
made from the latest French General range Ville Fleurie.
Love all of the mauve/purple prints.
Today being rainy/sunny and struggling to reach double figures for much of the day,
is the perfect day to be inside by the fire stitching the binding.
(A chilly 3·7°c outside & a comfortable 18·7°c inside.)
Kits will be available from The Patchwork Tea House,
from either their website or one of the many shows they will be visiting over the next few months.
