Quilting for Brenda & Julie

Hello Quilty Friends!

Here we both are looking down the barrel of another month nearly over.

I came home from my annual birthday week away to quilt tops coming in thick & fast!

Of course if you read Julie's latest blog post you would have seen her quilt top came home with me too.

Brenda contacted me a while back about custom quilting her first Sue Spargo quilt:

 Fresh Cut & Truffle Duffel ( also a Sue Spargo design) she made. You are about to see why I was super impressed with Brenda's two quilts, they are Sue Spargo designs BUT Brenda has added her style & personality to them both, creating unique quilts!

 Let's take a look at Brenda & Julie's quilts:

With the arrival of The Man in the Big Red suit shortly, I plan to stop quilting for this year & will have a nice break. I want to sew, bike ride, drink coffee (oh wait I do that special thing every day!) possibly potter around doing some neglected jobs around the house & garden.

I have put the Christmas tree up ready for the festive season,

 another year of going all out with lots of effort:

 For my readers w-a-y on the other side of the world, 

here in New Zealand Christmas time is summer time! 

Which must seem very unreal to you all, just as a wintery Christmas is to us Kiwi's. 

But don't worry Santa knows & comes prepared:

 Until next time, be safe out there while jostling your way the through malls & the supermarkets!

Here are two new comers to my shop:

Dino Babies

Pickles

Thanks for stopping by!
