As we say goodbye to 2016 and welcome in a brand New Year of 2017,
I’d like to take the opportunity to thank all of my readers, followers,
class participants and stockists all the best for the coming year.
Last class for 2016
was a needleturn applique class
Over the summer break this block will be
made into a larger project.
It’s hard to believe that we are at the end of October
and yet we still need the heater going.
Overnight temps as low as 3°C with rain, hail and some places snow.
The perfect weather to be inside stitching.
This quilt just back from the quilter needs to be bound.
And another day, another quilt that needs binding.
Some show and tell at Lily Lane, Gwenneth has completed her version of Winter Blooms.
A close up of the stunning quilting, by Jennifer at Lily Lane.
Another very pretty version of Winter Blooms, with the applique completed.
Some wildlife from the Aussie bush, where we are staying.
The kangaroo has a joey in her pouch but unfortunately didn’t come out for us to see.
The magpies are residents that we see all the time.
Month three of Baltimore Garden at The Sewing Bee Cafe
and the ladies are bringing in their completed blocks
from the last two classes.
We also had show and tell with this bright and cheerful version
of Winter Blooms. Love to see my designs in totally
different colours and fabrics and this one makes me smile.
Winter Blooms has been very popular this year, with another fun weekend
planned here at Lily Lane in Rosedale.
In this huge classroom and plenty of table space,
everyone has lots of space to spread out without being cramped.
Along with the fun and laughter, lots of new techniques were learnt
and soon 3D petals and flowers started to appear.
Thank you ladies for the fun weekend, would love to see your quilts.
