Thanks Rachel!


Lois has completed last years mystery stitchery from The Country Yard, YoYo's to be added. Cotton batting & Gunold & Madeira poly threads. Simple quilting. Stitchery/embroideries stitched with Auriful 12 weight thread. See here for the shop sample.



Well done Lois, we look forward to seeing this on display at our annual exhibition.

Next is a lovely simplistic quilt made by Norma for her adult son.


Made from a couple of French General fabric ranges, quilted simply using Gunold & Madeira poly threads over cotton batting.

Some Kind of Wonderful!


Annie Downs  design's the most yummiest quilts and here is one I recently quilted......."Some Kind of Wonderful".........with a slightly different look to Annie's original.
For the best viewing, click on the photo's.
 A group effort for Aurely's 50th birthday. Aurely loves pink, & pastel's. Six friends each made a block they fancied. For a nice uniformed looked & using fabric we knew Aurely would like, we used Bunny Hill's range ~ "Puttin on the Ritz", with a touch of a green fabric. Most blocks were chosen from Annie's book, some were from other sources of inspiration. As one of Aurely's friends, rather than make a block I offered to do the quilting.
Kerryn's block

Janet's block

Barbara's block

Jacki's block ( one of Aurely's cat's)

Pssst.....more secrets revealed! ....................







This quilt is made from Annie Downs book " Some kind of Wonderful" ........and it IS a wonderful book!  I had to buy one for myself. Kerryn made this using  "Itchings" by 3 Sisters of Moda.



I did a loopy, trailing paisley vine all over in a beige Madeira Polyneon thread.
Please don't feel nosy by clicking on the photo's for a closer look!



Next is a wall hanging from Whimsical's Button's & Blooms book
Using the same thread as the previous quilt I did whimsical flowing loops.


Next is another wall hanging made from a panel called " A Quilters Home"





The last of the secret projects................ a table runner ..................... very simple quilting.
And last but not least two cushions for Kerryn. These were both from mini Round Robin groups she was apart of.
this one was from Helen Stubbing's 'stitching Round the Block'
