I have been waiting until after I post about the last 3 months worth of classes before I show you my new designs ... but I have decided that if I wait any longer I would be able to refer to these projects as new!!!!!
The first of these projects is Alphabet Soup!
This is a single bed sized quilt that I put together using raw edge applique and my method of trapunto ... I think I will plan some classes around trapunto for next year ....
This quilt came together really quickly taking only a few weeks to complete. I just love the extra dimension from the trapunto, it looks terrific on a bed!
This is Ben's quilt, so I made it with my boy in mind ... mind you he hasn't slept under it yet! I would love to have the time to make it up in girlie colours!
If you happen to be in Canberra then you can take a peek at it in the 'flesh' at Addicted to Fabric. I'll be teaching again at A2F in September this year and we will be working on In Spring (see below) ... give the girls a ring if you'd like to come along.
As we all know there can't be a new release without a giveaway and because I have three new projects out at the moment I am going to do a combined giveaway ... I'll follow up this post with two more posts, over the next couple of days, each showing one of the two remaining projects so here's how the giveaway will work .....
Leave a comment on this post or one of the next two posts - before the 1st of July & one random commenter from each post will receive a copy of;
Wish you were here or
In Spring - which ever takes your fancy.
If you leave a comment on all three of these posts before the 1st of July one commenter will have the chance to win a kit to make up either Wish you were here or In Spring - which ever takes your fancy.
If you purchased a copy of either of the two new projects from one of my retailers or from myself before the 1st of July then email me telling me where & when you bought the pattern and you will have a chance to win a kit to make up either Wish you were here or In Spring - which ever takes your fancy. Please remember you will need proof of purchase.

Joseph's Coat ...
Unfortunately, all of the Melbourne 'Joseph's Coaters' are super slack ... sorry guys... and are all a ways away from being able to complete the next step in their progress of the quilt but fear not I have a new plan so watchthis space and in the next few weeks I should be able to show you how to put togetherer the next 3 rows.
These pictures are from last weeks Joseph's Coat class at Patchwork House ... more photos later ... but don't you just love this block? All of the petals in the picture above belong to Brianna who is going to be starting work at Don't Look Now this coming week .... yay!!!!!!
******************************************************************
Good luck with the giveaway guys ... and have a terrific weekend!
Kellie
PS. I have decided to begin a new page, of sorts, to post photos from my classes ... so hopefully this will make it a little easier to maintain because I am having a lot of trouble keeping up at the moment. I guess we'll see if this solves my problem ... but more on this later.
Love the new pattern, cute, cute cute!! And those patterns are wonderful. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win one!

I love the blue and orange combination in Alphabet Soup.
Posted by: tracey petersen | June 19, 2010 at 10:04 PM
I saw the alphabet soup on some Market Day pictures in your booth. It is so cute! Your creations are simply amazing!
Posted by: Melissa Corry | June 19, 2010 at 10:06 PM
Love the new pattern Alphabet Soup; wouldn't it be fun as a wall hanging in a class room? My DD is starting her first job as a first grade teacher and I though I would make a quilt for her.
Posted by: Vreni | June 19, 2010 at 10:09 PM
Love the Alphabet soup Kellie! And I agree I think it would look gorgeous in all girlie colours.
Posted by: Megan Kay | June 19, 2010 at 10:14 PM
OMG - a chance to win one of your lovely, lovely, LOVELY designs? I'm in! Thx for thinking of your loyal blog followers. :)
Posted by: Karen Martin | June 19, 2010 at 10:20 PM
Love your new quilt=Alphabet Soup. The trapunto certainly gives it extra texture. The 2 pillows are super cute, too. Wish I had a place in that class but it was full when I called. Great it's so popular. Any more classes?
Posted by: Kerry | June 19, 2010 at 10:21 PM
This is an adorable quilt. I hope that in addition to classes you put something on the web about "your" method for Trapunto!
Posted by: Kristy | June 19, 2010 at 10:22 PM
Thumbs up! Very cute.
Posted by: Amy C | June 19, 2010 at 10:22 PM
Fabulous quilt. It was wonderful to see some of your quilts at the Sydney craft show yesterday. They looked great.
Posted by: Sylvia | June 19, 2010 at 10:29 PM
love your new quilt design, the trapunto is gorgeous x
Posted by: driftwood | June 19, 2010 at 10:35 PM
Love the alphabet but probably more than I could handle right now. The other two are great also!
Posted by: Kathy | June 19, 2010 at 10:38 PM
As usual I love the new quilt. I have never done Trapunto but I want to try it even more now I've seen this little beauty of a quilt. Thanks for the generous giveaway.
Posted by: CraftyCripple | June 19, 2010 at 10:42 PM
Gorgeous new quilt; it'd be perfect for a few young ones that I know :-)
Posted by: Kate | June 19, 2010 at 10:50 PM
Great quilt Kellie, such bright happy colours. Glad to see you'll be getting some help at DLN.
Posted by: Linda | June 19, 2010 at 10:54 PM

Love "wish you were here"...
Posted by: Nancy | June 19, 2010 at 10:55 PM
Fabulous quilt and I always love your colour / fabric choices. Do you quilt the quilt before doing the applique?
Posted by: Sue Bone | June 19, 2010 at 10:59 PM
I love this quilt. Truly, I love all your designs. They are just so innovative and unique.
Posted by: Jessica C. | June 19, 2010 at 11:12 PM

Posted by: Sarah | June 19, 2010 at 11:13 PM
I just adore your patterns! I helped decorate my baby granddaughter's room with your "Pretty n' Pink" pillow pattern. We made them into a quilt and wall hanging - so cute!!! I bought my pattern from Twiddletails and am anxiously waiting to find your patterns other places here in the US.
Thank you for sharing your designs with us in the US!

Love the alphabet soup quilt! I'm a new quilter but I have one of your pillows on my to-do list in the near future.
Posted by: Jenn D | June 20, 2010 at 12:07 AM
I really love the look of that alphabet one. Kids would love to touch and trace with their fingers as they learn the letters. And it's pretty too!
Posted by: Sequana | June 20, 2010 at 12:14 AM
I absplutely love Alphabet Soup.
Posted by: Penny G | June 20, 2010 at 12:21 AM
I love "In Spring." The way that your alphabet letters "puff out" of the quilt is very unique and appealing.
Posted by: Amy | June 20, 2010 at 12:25 AM
That Alphabet Quilt is absolutely adorable!! The effect of your trapunto is stunning. Well done. I dare say you should stand up and take a bow!! ~karen

Posted by: Anita | June 20, 2010 at 01:09 AM
I'm fairly new to your blog and your patterns, but I love the freshness of them. I'd like to learn how you do the trapunto on your quilts. The alphabet quilt has so much dimension to it!
Posted by: Dee | June 20, 2010 at 01:11 AM
Lovely quilt and cushions. I think it's a great quilt for a boy.
I was very excited today, to have seen your monsters quilt in person at the Craft and Quilt fair in Sydney. Looks even better in real life :-)
