Sarah Jane Studios Fabric

We just received some bolts of this too cute new range of fabrics. Take a look at what some others have done with it over at Sarah Jane Studios Blog 

We have had a busy week with our GIFT club groups making the ' Rows of Ruffles' cushion cover and having all sorts of fun learning how to make continuous bias strips and how to gather them using elastic for simple easy ruffles!
I so LOVE Flower sugar fabrics!!!!

I have finally managed to hang our version, of Anni Downes from Hatched and Patched, quilt 'A Boy's Story'
We are so happy with it and Tricia of 'Cut from the Same Cloth' longarm quilting has once again done an outstanding job of quilting it.I hope you can sort of see it in the picture.

It looks even nicer up close so drop in to take a peep if you live nearby :)
Wow two posts in as many days! Well I must go as I am going on a weekend away with some friends to sew! What else! I am quilting my Wrenly Quilt then I will show it to you....
I hope you all have a great weekend too!
Love

Lullaby in the Night Sky

This cute little cot quilt is designed by Natalie Ross and we just had to make up our own version.
I think it is sooo much fun.

 I have also re kitted our version of A Boy's Story from Anni Downes.....

I have been so busy sewing new things for our visit to the Craft Fair in October, that I have been a bit slack on posting, I will try to remedy this by showing bits of my new projects as they come into being...
Back to the ironing board to press my Wrenly quilt, it a free pattern from Valorie Wells, I just had to make it, I love the grey in the background too! Hmmmm now how to quilt it???
I will show it to you next time...
Happy stitching,
Liisa xoxo

My Wonderful Weekend

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend too! I spent Saturday morning browsing through the Eumundi Markets on the QLD Sunshine Coast, so much to see and hear and smell and touch and taste. Heaven. I spent a little money , shhh, don't tell him. It was a lovely morning.... and then we went to The Spirit House Restaurant in Yandina for lunch. OMG it is amazing, a lovely spot beautifully landscaped so that you feel as though you are really in the Thai countryside and the food is divine!
We really need to do this more often I think, take a little time out to enjoy all the colours and flavours around us.
But wait, yes it got even better on Sunday, I got to sit and sew all day...Ahhhhh now that was the best.
I made a couple of little keyholders for our GIFT club class and worked on a new Advent Calander I have designed using some bright new Christmas fabrics.

The housework will get done eventually, but I am truly not a neat freak I have to admit!
Have a great week,
Love Liisa xoxo

Lou Lou Bag by Natalie Ross

I love this bag so much I just had to make 3! I have put it into this term's class list too.

I am recovering today from last weeks crazy busy sale! I was so silly to run a stocktake sale during Wimbledon Week. I think I had too many late, late nights for my own good.If you missed the sale we have created a sale section in the shop so that you can still pick up a bargain for your next project! These fabrics will remain at $12/m until sold (50cm minimum). I have also created a super sale box of fabrics at just $6/m too, these ones are a minimum of 1m though.
I did manage to make it to the Finders Keepers Market on Sunday, it was wonderfully inspiring to see what everyone is crafting  and selling on their stalls.
I love this time of year as there seems to be lots of markets and local shows to visit. This is my favourite thing to do :)
Well back to the shop to re organise it for opening tomorrow morning..... We have lots of new Christmas fabrics to display and also some new  flannel fabrics and flannel backings.
Hmmmm what to make from them......
Happy Sewing,
Love Liisa xoxo

James Byrne Centre Retreat Again!

Well I have finally recovered from my second retreat and I apologise for being slow to post about it. I hae heaps of pics of these productive ladies projects. Inspiring!

 

Phew, have you made it to the bottom? Well done, you really are a quilter, we all love show and tell don't we!

It was a very chilly weekend actually, but that is part of the Toowoomba appeal, we like to wear our winter gear at least once a year! :)

Cheers,

Liisa
