AQC in Melbourne

Here are some of the gorgeous quilts that were on display at the AQC in Melbourne last weekend.

Aren’t they just lovely? Of course there were many more than this.

I was really thrilled to finally meet Bronwyn Hayes from Red Brolly. I have admired her and followed her blog for a long time … She is one gorgeous lady!!

I got a couple of her patterns….One I cant show you because I am sewing it up for a surprize for one special person but the other is Bronwyn’s latest bag design…I just love it!! I pinched your picture off your blog Bronwyn…

Finally I have put all the rows together in Lori Holt’s Row Along

I really enjoyed sewing these rows and the next stage is backing and quilting and then of course binding it.

I love it to bits and found Lori’s tutorials so easy to follow. Thanks Lori for another fabulous quilt.

Thanks for stopping by

Hugs to all……

Vintage Sweetness

Down Under Quilts have published my Vintage Sweetness quilt in two issues. Part 1 is in Issue 156 and part 2 is in Issue 157.

Issue 156….

Issue 157….

It’s a lovely quilt which has 9 stitchery designs in the centre that have vintage items stitched. The outside blocks are pieced and there are applique circles around on the final border.

You can find DUQ at most newsagents.

A visit to a special person in my life.

While I was in Adelaide for the Let’s Get Stitched weekend, I snuck off on the Saturday to visit my lovely Auntie Nellie. She is my Godmother as well and its been near on 18 years since I last saw her. Too long!!!

It was so lovely to see her again and she hasn’t changed much at all, she is the lovely lady that has humour with lots of love that I know. Of course we keep in touch via the phone but to be able to hug her in real life is special.

On the day, 4 of my female cousins (all Auntie Nellie’s nieces) who are around my age and who lived close by came for the day also and it was so good to catch up with them as its been many many years since I last saw them too.

Josephine,

Sharee,

Diane

and Susan

are very special ladies and I am proud to call them my cousins.

It was hard to get a group photo so a couple were taken…

Thanks for a special day Auntie Nellie and my gorgeous cousins.

Hugs to All…..
