New Jelly Roll Book has arrived!

Just a quick post to let you know the new Jelly Roll Book 'Two from One Jelly Roll Quilts has now arrived. It is a lovely book and has lots of ideas for lap sized quilts.
Some other wonderful news is that Michelle won first prize in her category for her amazing 'Aunt Millies Garden' quilt, at the Brisbane Exhibition. Well done Michelle! If you are going to the Ekka drop in and have a look a the quilts, hers is the large Appliqued one with Red background and all those amazing flowers, it was a Piece of Cake design.

Curvy Cushion

I have had a very busy month and I can not believe that I did not actually post during the last month, so sorry! Well, I am another year older now, and the partying has wound up for another year! I have several friends who share my Birthday month and it feels like we eat cake every day, it's a hard life, VBG.

I have just finished this month's GIFT club project and it is sure to make somebody your love very comfy!

 I have used Heather Bailey's range of fabrics called 'Nicey Jane' it is one of my favourites. It utilisies some free form curved piecing and would suit any sort of fabrics, in fact I have also another made from bold Batik fabrics too and I think it looks great.

All our current block of the month projects have their next installment ready for mail out or collection. I plan to put up actual block pictures of our samples onto the website later this week.Keep a look out for them.
I have finished the Kaleidoscope quilt and Tricia kindly quilted it for me. This term's class if full but we will offer it again next term.
I hope that this lovely weather has you all stitching away, I am trying to finish the advent angels BOM sample in my spare time, but there are so many new fabrics arriving that my  thoughts keep wandering off to new projects.... Until next time...
Happy Sewing,
Liisa xoxo

Kaleidoscopes

I have had a great weekend playing with Kaleidoscope blocks. I just love making them up and being surprised by how they turn out! Now just to decide on a layout! I have used a large print from the Oz range of fabrics, it is amazing how the blocks look nothing like the original fabric...
Now don't forget there are two more sale days left! Sale will finish at close of trade on Wednesday.

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
