G Point Quilt In

Thank you so much for your invitation to attend the inaugural G-Point quilt-in at Ballarat today.... We took a yummy selection of goodies... We were lucky to catch up with so many friendly faces!! And here was Bernie with her Ballarat Beauties quilt (just adding on the binding)... with lots of fabrics purchased from our store!!

And here she is again!! I love this fabric Bernie... what was it called? Oh yeah! Lincoln Bicentennial!!

Thanks for your show and tell.. We look forward to seeing you at the 2012 G Point Quilt-In.

Preparing for Christmas

Oh yes! It's nearly half way through November, so we are all madly sewing our Christmas projects in preparation for December 1st... our traditional day to start displaying our projects... or in my case... it's traditional to stay up late Christmas Eve finishing decorations and gifts at the last minute!!Wow... this is Antje's Christmas tree skirt. Antje chose the pattern from the book French Braid Obsession, then used a Christmas panel as her feature fabric. Antje attended UFO classes with Carol obtaining assistance as she needed it. It was then quilted by Wilma at Deep Creek Quilting.
This is Jaqi's 14 fat quarter quilt!! She chose fabric from Nancy Halvorsen of Art To Heart's latest range Jingle All The Way.

Jaqi quilted it herself... taking only a few days to put it together, quilt it and bind it.

Wow! Thanks for your inspiring show and tell girls....

Sharyn's piece de resistance

Well, Sharyn will remember this moment forever!! It's the GIANT purple quilt for her bed... that hangs to the floor.
She collected fabrics for years, and combined with new pieces purchased especially for this quilt.

Here it is in its dazzling glory. Sharyn's most favourite quilt yet. Congratulations Sharyn. (She is the clever lady hiding behind her huge quilt).....

Thanks for sharing your show and tell with us.

Quilted by Deep Creek Quilting. Did you know we have an in-store drop off and pick up for Wilma to quilt for you?

Lotus fabrics in store

You'll want to sew this fabric from the Lotus range as soon as you take it home!!
This is the Lotus panel.

These co-ordinates are also available.

The fabrics feature striking colours, and convey depth and dimension.
So, what could you make? This is a sample whipped up overnight by Lorraine - featuring the Lotus panel surrounded by green borders, blossom borders and large peonies. A green binding will follow.

Please let us know if you would like a kit.

Pillowcases

Shelly made these pillowcases using quilter's muslin and Kashmir V fabric selections.

Shelly found an online video tutorial for making the pillowcases with french seams, a variety of trims - or even piping.

Sharyn's blog

Is this Sharyn's blog? Or the Quilter's Bazaar blog? *grin*

We are pleased to present more show and tell by Sharyn.
This is a quilt she made using a "swag" - that's a roll of fabrics cut at 5.5 in wide.

This simple arrangement showcases the fabrics. Delightful.

And, her is another Fat Quarter quilt by Sharyn - it's a quick baby quilt for a little girl (as if you couldn't tell).

Ooh, we love show and tell. What are you going to make next?

Stef is 21

What a lucky, lucky, young woman... This is only one of Stef's 21st birthday presents.

Made by Sharyn. Yes, this is her THIRD fat quarter quilt, and they all look very different!! These blocks are alternately bordered in black and pink to increase the size of the quilt to fit a Queen bed.

Thanks for sharing with us Sharyn and Stef.
