K.I.S.S. Quilts

Just a quick post to show the first of my new K.I.S.S. quilt patterns, Keeping It Sew Simple! I have designed a rather versatile little cot quilt that is perfect for a feature fabric that you just do not want to cut up too much.

   

Of course it still needs to be quilted, but I am hoping to get it done on our second retreat this weekend!

We have about 30 ladies heading off to Highfields again this Friday! Woo Hoo!

More sewing time for me!

I have also cut some flannel boy versions of the 'Gelati Baby Quilt' and the fabrics are pictured below, the red flannel is the sashing!

Well back to the pattern writing....

Happy Stitching,

Liisa xoxo

Chenille has arrived

Our eagerly awaited chenille order has arrived and we have now finished cutting  lots of gorgeous flannel raggy kits. Perfect for snuggling under and quick to put together, you can make them up in a weekend! They make great gift quilts too. We have about 6 different colourways to choose from to suit everyone! Mention this blog and we will  give you a pair of great scissors for snipping the seams of your raggy quilt with each flannel raggy quilt kit you purchase this month!
Cheers,
Liisa xoxo

Busy, Busy, Busy!

I have been flat out since we came back from retreat and I have a few pics to show you of  few new shop samples...
First of all is Gelati Baby a colourful simple cot quilt, Made up in flannel so soft and yummy!

We have made up sits to suit a girl, and our boy version is full of cute little dinosaurs in greens and blues and red!
Now just to get it quilted....
I have also pieced a giant 100" monster for my King size bed at home, it is huge! Loads of Roses in pinks and greens, I can't wait to put it on my bed...ZZZZ





 

I have also just finished the June gift club project and it is a ruler/mat bag to carry all your 'Stuff'. The pattern will be available next week. It uses charm squares and our favourite bag batting...

I have almost finished another flannel quilt top in the woolies, but machine is smokin' it has been working so hard!

 Michelle has been stitching away on the BOM 'Down in the Garden', and Lorraine is finishing the binding on 'Lovebird Lane' it has come back from being quilted by Tricia and it looks divine! It should be hanging in store next week.
 Happy Stitching,
Liisa xoxo

Thankyou Ladies!

This lovely bouquet of flowers arrived for me on Tuesday. it was a gorgeous 'Thankyou'  from the ladies who attended the retreat. I felt very special and the flowers smell divine!

Speaking of flowers this gorgeous range of Flower Sugar florals from Lecien arrived this week, I will get them on the website by the weekend :)

Cheers,

Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!

Well, we all had a great time on retreat! Lots of stitching and laughter and friendship and food and a drink or two! I managed to sew up two quilt tops and will have to get them quilted asap. We ran an aesthetically challenged (ugly) mug swap and Leona ended up with the prize Man Mug. Yes, she did drink her coffee out of this all weekend. BTW really nice PJ's Leona! 

Everyone arrived to a goody bag filled with treats, I can not tell you what was inside, as we have another group going on retreat next month so I do not want to spoil their surprise now do I?
The weather was cool but not freezing and the fire kept us warm at night.....
We did a little shopping at The Quilters Angel at Highfields and a couple of other local shops in Toowoomba, I am sure they were happy to see us.
Here are some of the girls stitching away. The light in the room was actually very good, but as a photographer I leave a lot to be desired!
A huge Thankyou to everyone who joined us in Highfields you made it a great weekend!

Happy Stitches,
Liisa xoxo
