They’re Ba-ack!!!

The quilts I sent over to America to be photographed for Quilter’s Newsletter have returned with a copy of the issue they appear in.

These are the quilts:

Shabby Chic Hearts

My Crazy Heart

A Stitch in Time

If you would like to make ‘My Crazy Heart’ or ‘A Stitch in Time’ they are available on my website:

I’m pleased to have them back as ‘Shabby Chic Hearts’ normally hangs over our bed & I’ve missed it!!!

Just a chance thing really, Linda, a regular on the Quilting DownUnder list I belong to, asked if there was anyone out there with original stitchery quilt projects. Linda was planning on writing an article about Aussie quilters who use stitchery. I had a few projects & decided to email pics off to Linda to see if they might suit. They did, so being the queen of ufo’s I set about finishing two of them off. Then I headed down to Melbourne to do some house hunting when an email came through, could the quilts be sent immediately. Uh oh, well I finished them but didn’t quite get the labels on them.  Luckily dh stayed home so he got to find them pack them up & organise courier pick up. There were quite a few ladies involved & we all filled in a questionnaire about how we do our stitcheries. Linda put together an article & voila we are in print. This is the first, & probably the last time, I’ll have my work in an American mag & it feels good.

New Blog Background!!!

I finally worked out how to change from the boring grey I had & it was so easy!!! There is a link in the top left corner to the source. There are some lovely backgrounds, all free, with step-by-step instructions to put them on your blog.
