Many years ago, 2013 in fact artists and guilds
from the Mornington Peninsula were invited to
create works for The Johnston Collection.
This year work from the last four Christmases past
have been invited to exhibit their work once again.
Click here to read my post from 2013.
A close up of some of the roses.

On a cold winters day we set up
for the stitching day with The Sewing Bee Cafe.
Project for the day was my Clementine bag available in 2 colourways.
No time for me to take pics during the day,
these next pics are courtesy of The Sewing Bee Cafe.
All of these lovely ladies busy with
English Paper Piecing and making 3D flowers.
A very generous gift of this bundle of fabrics,
matches perfectly with others from my stash.
Thank you to every one who attended and
Debbie & Sonia for making this a fun memorable day.
Lots of homework completed at yesterdays
Baltimore Garden class
at The Sewing Bee Cafe.
Loving those bluebirds, both completely different
but both gorgeous.
Show and tell in class was a completed ‘Winter Blooms”
quilt from a class last year this time in batiks.
At a recent sewing day at
The Sewing Bee Cafe, lots of ladies who have been
attending my classes brought along the blocks
they had been working on over the holidays.
(Sorry for the blurry pics)

This one waiting for the 3D flowers we will be putting together next month.
I love to see these quilts coming together.
Well done ladies, your blocks are looking great.
While searching for images to use in today’s post I came across this one below
and another suggesting to post some photos of our favourite places around
this great country we live in. Some I have posted before and others are totally new.
Sunrise from our driveway 5.30 am one day last week,
off for my early morning walk.
Sunrise over the Ninety Mile Beach, Gippsland Victoria.
Beautiful tall tree ferns and the smell of the gum trees after a shower of rain.

Happy Australia Day!
Today I’m participating in the 3rd annual
‘Grow Your Blog’ meet and greet party.
So following the guidelines from our host here goes.
Hi, I’m Julie and I live on the beautiful
Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia.
Patchwork is a huge part of my life, being career,
hobby and passion. I love to design quilts and have more
designs drawn than I could possibly ever make in my lifetime.
There is always a quilt show, group
or new shop to visit, and many like minded people to meet.
Not to mention all the new quilts to start.
Two of my quilts where all members of a friendship
group contribute to each others quilts.
The quilts made for teaching/patterns as well as those
made just because are starting to mount up.
These are just the ones at home at the moment,
most are out on loan to shops that stock my patterns.
Thats enough about me, I’m looking forward to visiting
many of the blogs participating and commenting
in the ‘Grow Your Blog’ party.
