Quilt Sale on Friday
Remember that it is my quilt sale on Friday. Lots of quilts, wallhangings and gifts will be available for purchase. Meg Cowey of Our House Quilts will be joining me for this sale – her quilts are very different from mine! You’ll have to come along to see what I mean. The weather is set fine and the sale will be at 23 Riley Road, Claremont, WA on Friday, 4th December 10am-3pm.
Christmas Garden Sale
Myself and my good friend Meg Cowey ( http://ourhousequilts.wordpress.com ) are having a sale of handmade quilts, wallhangings and small fabric gifts on 4th December. There will be many more quilts than those advertised for sale on this site. Please come along and bring your friends. Between now and the event, I will post pictures of some of the small gifts that you will be able to buy.
Blue Hexi
Following the success of my circular ruler for my Drunkards Path quilts, I treated myself to an equilateral triangle cutting ruler. This little quilt was made from strips of a jelly roll joined together and then cut using the ruler. As always, accuracy is key to a good result. Rather pretty I thought.

Turquoise Bay
I am currently enjoying a fabulous holiday in the northwest of WA. Today we visited the spectacular Turquoise Bay-a favourite haunt for many years. 6 years ago, I made an award winning wall hanging of the scene which still looked the same today (except I left the sunning bathing bodies out of today’s photo!)

All things bright and beautiful
It was time to make something really bright! And this very large lap quilt certainly is. I am planning to make some co-ordinating cushion covers – so watch out for them.

Cushions
I have spent the last couple of days making up cushions from last year’s travel projects. I stitched a sashiko panel during a train trip across Canada which I cut up and supplemented and made into 4 cushions. The 5th cushion was made from a boro panel was made during a holiday in Switzerland. When will we get to travel overseas again?
