Autumn Rain

I have finally finished! (put on the back burner for awhile), you may recall the weaving I was doing back at the start of the year. I called it Autumn Rain and have it as a kit and it will get it's first showing at the Syndey Craft and quilt Fair next week 13th to the 17th of June. The stand number is A28 so come and have a look if you are near Darling Harbour.

AQC

Managed to find this shot of my stand at the recent Australasian Quilt Convention. The venue is the impressive Royal Exhibition Centre at Carlton in Melbourne, featured in the current Masterchef series.

In class

Some ladies are doing dresden plate quilts and the blocks are starting to look fantastic.

This is Deborah who is using a layer cake for her blocks and 16 blades.



While Bev is using 20 blades in hers with set fabrics. Both are sewing it totally by machine.

Moonlight at the Oasis

After being away for 3 weeks with shows in Sydney and Brisbane and also teaching at Batemans Bay inbetween, it was great to get back to a project that had been going on for some time and finally finishing it. The pattern always takes a lot longer than you think to do and get right. I came within an inch of getting someone else to quilt it but ended up doing it myself and am very pleased with the finished product.
It is just in time for AQC in Melbourne next week, I will be on stand number 130 which is my usual spot under the dome.
