boxes still aren't all unpacked... But ... I couldn't resist attending a
sewing day run by Wendy Whellum and Mary Rothe. There were 4
patterns that were demonstrated and we could try which ever one took
our fancy. I decided to try Wendy's Rolling Stone block but decided to
make it as a miniature. Wendy's blocks were 15", my blocks were 4 1/2",
much quicker to sew up and very cute!<br />

Years ago I
designed some quilts using leftover 2 1/2" squares. This is an
adaptation of one of these patterns but much quicker using strip
piecing, and cutting. <br />
The Jelly Roll I used was LOL by 'Me and My Sister'<br />

I am running a raffle for our charity - SOUP - Supporters of Uganda's Poor.<br />
Tickets will be $2.00 each or 3 for $5.00<br />
There are 4 prizes to be won.<br />
First prize is the cream quilt above. The top was made by my friend Cathy. I added the final border, then another friend quilted it for me, Elaine Pellatt from Quilting in the Vines in McLaren Vale. It is a large single bed or small double bed size.<br />
Second prize is the Dinosaur cot quilt made by another friend, Rosemary Turner!<br />
Rosemary also made the third and fourth prizes, the table-runner and the ladies bag.<br />
Please contact me if you would like to purchase some tickets.<br />
The proceeds from the raffle will go towards building a cottage for widows and orphans.<br />

I have been so busy leading up to and during our local show preparing for my stand. After it was all over I started tidying up my messy sewing room and came across this box of fabrics I once had great plans for. I had been collecting marone and cream fabrics to make a large quilt for my parents. There was going to be appliqued roses and I had started on a border of 100's of half square triangles. That was probably around 15 years ago. Since then my Mum fell in love with a Lone Star I was making and I gave them that quilt instead. As I had one evening to myself I thought I would make a quick little something for me, the half-square triangles were already sewn together so this would be quick!<br />
A quick search amongst my now preferred fabrics, Reproductions, yielded a lovely little stripe and a floral just right for the centre. In an evening this little miniature was sewn, quilted and bound!<br />
Now, back to work, I have a retreat to attend in a week!<br />

I have a little panel that is so cute with little reindeers and Santa on it. First idea was to cut it up and sew it back together again! This looks OK but was a bit too fiddly because the meausurements on panels are never regular. So then I tried just adding borders and this looks great and is much easier. Go to my Website for kits!<br />

<span id="goog_1466149368"></span><span id="goog_1466149369"></span>This is about the 8th quilt I have made with my Fast and Fabulous pattern. 9 of the fabrics are Tilda and 3 are matching fabrics. After putting on the border I felt the top needed something, the lace around the border was perfect to separate the top and the border.<br />

The quilt has turned out quite pretty and feminine, I think a little too much to appeal to a lot of people, so now I have decided to donate another quilt to the raffle, something with wider appeal.<br />

Here are some close-ups of the 60's fabrics in the blocks. See that little stitched birdie in the middle of the orange block, that was stitched by one of my clever daughters. All three of my girls have spent time doing volunteer work in various countries. Whilst in Uganda Sarah was a little bored in the evenings so she grabbed a needle and some thread and stitched some little pictures. I decided to use this one here as the colours matched perfectly.</div>

It must be more than 10 years ago, maybe up to 15. I have been thinking about what WIP I could finish in time for the Toowoomba Quilt Show in September. I got all the blocks out and took ages laying them out in the same order as they are in Jane's quilt so I could work out which ones I haven't made. As you can see I have added four triangles to the edges to tip the blocks on point. When they are all made I will mix them around before sewing them together. All this because I decided I didn't want to reproduce the original quilt because there are so many around now.<br />

She has a lot of beautiful patterns and I am hoping to bring her to Adelaide later in the year to teach her method of sewing multiple layers of fabric together, then cutting away the layers to reveal the fabrics underneath. Adelaide girls let me know if you would be interested in this class!<br />

That's their prerogative, that's fine, but I believe it's time to think again my friends.<br />
On our big trip around Queensland last year my very patient husband drove me around to any quilt shop I could Google in every town we visited. It became a regular occurrence that we would turn up at an address and find the shop vacated, no longer in business. As well as disappearing businesses we also found downsizing businesses, shops that were struggling and had had to move into smaller premises.... pretty sad really.<br />
I feel for the shop owners because I know how much they pay 'wholesale' for fabric, it's usually more or about the same as the US shop owners sell their fabric 'retail'. It's hard to compete with that!<br />
Well I hope that I can persuade shoppers to start looking back in their local quilt shops again.<br />
<br />
Lets start with an average order:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">POSTAGE FROM THE US TO AUSTRALIA DOUBLED LAST YEAR!</span><br />
Most US shops will send 6 - 8 yards in a Priority Flat Envelope for $24.00.<br />
That means you need to add the cost of $4 -$3 to each yard that you buy to cover postage.<br />
<br />
If you buy 6 yards @ US $11 (add postage $4 per yard) 6 yards X $15 = $90 US<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">The AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR is not so great now! </span><br />
So $90 US will be about $97 AUS<br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red;">We Aussies deal with METRES! US shops charge by the YARD!</span><br />
6 yards is equal to 5.5 metres <br />
So you have just bought 5.5 metres for $97.<br />
Don't forget to add the currency conversion fee that gets added separately to your bank account, around $3.<br />
You've just spent $100 on 5.5 metres of fabric.<br />
<br />
That comes to <span style="color: red;">$18.18 per metre!</span><br />
<br />
Now that's not much less than you pay in your quilt shop for a metre of fabric!<br />
So for a few dollars isn't it worth rethinking your next online spending spree?<br />
Why not take your $100.00 to a shop where a you can see, feel and touch the fabric, see whats new in the Quilting world, chat with the helpful shop owner and meet with friends....... <br />

This year we were given two fabrics that had to be used in an Owl wallhanging 35" X 12". The entries were amazing and all so different. There are some very talented ladies in this group. I designed a Christmas wallhanging with cute owls sitting in a Christmas Tree. The two fabrics with the teardrops on them were the 'challenge' fabrics.<br />
I didn't win but was happy with my effort! I will write this up as a pattern ready for Christmas.<br />

There is a lot of difference in the size of the stitches that people use. Most of the quilting I saw would be better described as 'Medium' stitich quilting.<br />
I've decided to do real big, 'Big' stitch quilting. I found a long, sharp strong needle and a ball of some perle cotton thread. I am making my stitches 'Big' and the quilting is moving along quickly. The main thing to do is keep the stitches as even as possible. I should be able to finish this one off quickly and then get back to a couple of quilts I am trying to 'Small' stitch hand -quilt!<br />

It is generally a quiet time for me so I usually pick a UFO to try and finish. This year I have got out my late MIL's doona cover and am giving it some new life. It is a poorly pieced top with no wadding or backing, bright florals that look like they're from the 60's or 70's.<br />

My Pies and Tarts top got some attention with some large circles (pies) being completed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now to sew some of the smaller circles, (the tarts). I plan on adding a row at a time rather than laying them all out when they are finished, that way I can add the small circles over the joins as I go. </div>

I have some wonderful handcrafted items to show you, all of which have come my way in the last week or two!<br />
Wendy knitted me some gorgeous socks. They are almost too nice to wear, but I will! Love the colours.<br />

While in Toowoomba Wendy was taken on a 1/2 day outing by Vicki while I was back at the show. She bought me this beautiful little woodturned tapemeasure, made by Wayne Achilles. The tapemeasure pulls out, then you turn the handle at the top to wind it up again!<br />
<br />

The next three items were made by clever ladies and purchased from the craft table at the Toowoomba quilt show. Such lovely stitching and sewing, the prices were too good, I had to buy them!<br />
