Oh so frustrating ... so what to do about the other two parts of the giveaway? ..... I collected the emails that were sent to me telling me of their link to the ppost and pulled out ....
Cass from Cass's craft room who linked to the giveaway post. I will be sending Cass the Wish you were here cushion. Thanks Cass for going to the trouble of linking!
Likewise, I did the same for those who notified me of a pattern purchase and ......
Blogless Amanda who had bought both of the new patterns last week has now desided to also collect Oh Christmas Tree.
Both of these two extras winners will also recieve the 2 giveaway patterns. Thank you so very much everyone for joining in!
Now, as I was saying .... the weekend before that I spent in Adelaide really was a spectactular weekend! Lorraine together with her wonderful staff really put together a weekend with the lot for those who came along for the ride!
Middle row(left to right): Leslie, Lorraine, Lorraine, Margaret, Dawn, Amanda, Debbie, Viv, Di
Front (left to right): Me, Gillian, Judith & Natalie
I desgned this little cushion top called Wish you were here to use as practice to get the raw edge technique right before jumping headlong into the class project which of course was Willow.
Each of the girls recieved a Goodies bag....
.... & a spectacular name badge .... (eat your heart out Linda & Sue!!!!!) .... these were all expertly made by Leanne ... she has also kindly put together a tutorial so that you can make your very own!!!!!
Thank you so much guys for a brilliant time and for working so hard! You all achieved a great deal!! Make sure you pop around and visit all of the girls blogs to see their finished projects and their works in progress! ...and guys don't forget to add your pictures to the Flickr album!
This amazing quilt top is being lovingly put together BY HAND!!!!!!! The most beautiful Karen, who played 'runner' for the Hettie's Patch weekend, is finishing the edges of her version of Meg's Garden using a blanket stitch!
... an amazing effort and absolutely beautiful work. You are my hero Karen!!!
I also have another version of Meg's garden to show you all ...
... this quilt was made by Roma, who attended the Ballarat Patchwork class earlier in the year! I love this quilt with my favorite coloured background! The class project Sweet Little Garden pillow is also sitting there on the bed! Well done Roma!
Jacob's Coat Quilt Along ...
Thank you to everyone for bearing with me and filling out the Mr Linky thingy ... you have saved me hours and hours of work!!!! At the time of posting this entry there were 164 people signed up! I also appreciate everyones understanding regarding the incorrect naming of the Floriani stabliser!
I have had a few questions that I am sure there are more than a hand full of you wondering about ... so I have started a Frequently Asked Questions page - there is a link to this page on the main quilt along page ... hopefully Typepad doesn't have a limit on pages!!! I have also included an option for those of you, and there are a LOT of you, that want to join in and don't have a blog.
*****************************************************************
This year Homespun has run a spectular block of the month program that I am sure you will all be famillar with. THis quilt has been donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation to raise much needed funds for this amazing organisation. Please take a peek at the Homespun Blog to see how you can also help. Homespun will be running another block of the month program next year ... I have a block that is going to be included ... I can't wait to see how the quilt looks as I am among some pretty amazing designers!!
OK I'm off to bed as I have managed to pick up a bug that is making me feel totally crap ... but I will be back on Sunday with the first tutorial for the Quilt Along!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
Kellie

Ahem Kellie, when you say "I am among some pretty amazing designers!!"
Do you know how amazing your designs are? Don't sell yourself short. In my book you are "way up there" as far as designers go. You have HUGE talent and a great eye for detail. You are a great inspiration to many of us. Thank-you.

I love all the photos and am so very jealous that I will not be able to attend a class with you. Unless of course you decide to come to the states!
