Master Class

Hi everyone

Well I had to leave my sewing machine for a few hours yesterday and this is why!  Salted caramel popcorn macarons......  And they taste out of this world!  Had a class with a wonderful master chef and his team.  Now I know why I don't do these at home. 

Thank you to all the lovely ladies who have sent messages from my blog.   It still amazes me that you can chat to people all around the world.  And that they are interested in little old me!

Now back to my sewing machine.......

Feathers

I am busy trying to get quilts done before I go on holidays.  This is Janine's quilt and I am doing feathers with some added detail, just for something different.  Lovely batiks in this quilt.  Coming soon Janine!!

Something new!

Isn't it great quilting weather!  I love this time of year. 

I am in the middle of a quilt for The Quilter's Angel in Highfields and tried to do a different design for the background of the middle block.  Does this look like fluffy clouds to you?  It takes some courage to try something new but it advances your quilting and isn't so difficult once you do some practice. 

This is a block of the month coming to you shortly.

Visit to Highfields

 

While visiting The Quilters Angel at Highfields recently, I saw a runner Steph had made and just had to make one for myself.  This is made from scraps of Japanese fabric I had made a quilt out of.  Fabulous I think!  Steph is always full of great ideas.

Visit to Toowoomba

 

During a recent visit to Toowoomba, I spent a fabulous afternoon with friends Bev and Pat.  Bev taught me how to do "Ribbon"quilting and Pat cooked a fabulous dinner!  I put the dark colours where I should have put the light ones, but it still looks great.  Thank you ladies for a wonderful afternoon.  You are both such an inspiration.
