'Lorry's Flower Garden" Quilt...

It has finally made it - into "Country Threads' magazine, Vol 12 No 1. I sent this quilt off about 6 months ago to be in the magazine and it is finally in print!!

This quilt was created in remembrance of the garden I used to play in as a kid...at my Grandma's house...a garden full of lavender and stunning, fragrant roses....

Simple nine patch piecing and fairly easy applique work, made this quilt a joy to make.

I hope you all like it...

Until next time

"The Comfort Quilt"

I needed to make a quilt for our bedroom that would go with the blue, the linen and the provincial style that I was planning to create in our bedroom. I was looking through the latest issue of "Vignette" by Leanne Beasley, and I came across this quilt - "The Comfort Quilt". As soon as I saw it, I just knew this was the one I had to make.

So the following Saturday I was down at "Gail's Patchwork", buying my fabrics. This is the stack that I purchased...

Next came all the cutting, which I find I really enjoy doing, there is something very relaxing about it, laying all the strips into columns, they look kind of cool!

Now I've just got to work out in which order I will stitch them together...

Until next time,

Hexagon Quilt

I was inspired by Leanne Beasley's Hexagon Quilt in her second issue of "Vignette In Stitches" magazine, so I thought I would give it a go. There is something very therapeutic about stitching tiny hexagons together, something that I can take with me and stitch whenever; like at work during lunchtime. I have tried to be very disciplined and stitch together at least one full hexagon flower each lunchtime, so far I have made about 30 flowers, and I think they look really pretty. They are fun to stitch!!

My Whimsical Garden

Today is the day I begin putting together my 16 blocks of "My Whimsical Garden" quilt. All the blocks are appliqued separately and then stitched together with a chocolate brown sashing. This is the layout process of where I want all the blocks to be situated...a good hint is to take a photo of the layout and have a look at it on the computer to help you decide as to whether you are happy with the placement and to where the colours fall with each other...once you are happy, stitch them together.

Where To Get It!!

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your lovely comments, I've had a few regarding where to get the fabrics and cosmos threads.

My fabrics are from "Patchwork with Gail B" in Bayswater, Victoria, and the threads were from "Cookies and Cream Craft", both of which you can buy in packs especially put together for this specific quilt. Just ask them for the "Vignette In Stitches" threads or fabric...

Hope this helps and that you all join the journey!!

Till next time,

Stay safe

"Vignette In Stitches"

Hi All,

I have started a journey...to make Leanne Beasley's "Vignette In Stitches" Block of the Month Quilt...it is so pretty and the fabrics and threads are gorgeous.

I have purchased everything and have been busy putting it all together, so that I can begin the stitching...which for me is good, because I love projects that are portable and you can take them everywhere...to work...to church...to stitch in's or craft groups...where ever and when ever...that way you get lots done!!

Here are some of my starting pictures.... hope you get inspired too....you can pick up a copy of Leanne's beautiful magazine "Vignette In Stitches" from Quilt Fabric Delights or Gail B's Patchwork Shop in Bayswater, Victoria...

Enjoy Your Journey...

Till Next Time...Stay Safe
