near the 12 Apostles ....

... the beautiful Port Campbell in country Victoria ....

 
unfortunately I never had full internet access which made blog posting a little hard!!!!!

So without further delay the winners of the last post giveaway are ...... 

Elisa who left comment number 20...

LOVE all of them! Posting to my blog now! Where can I get these patterns in the US?

Elisa also purchased a pattern during the giveaway period and also went to the trouble of linking to the post from her blog! Thank you Elisa! I will be sending Elisa a copy of the Family Tree pattern complete with a kit to make it up.

 

The second pattern which was Garden Gatheringwill be going to Kirsty who left comment number 91 ....

I love your patterns but am completely freaked out by raw-edge applique so have never purchased and tried one. Winning would be great -- it could get me started!

Hopefully you wont be too freaked out to give the pattern a try Kirsty!

 

Last but by all means not least the pattern for Love goes to Barbara who left the 26th comment ....

Love the "project"! What a fantastic medium to learn the digestive system.
BUT......the "In Spring" quilt is OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Thank you to everyone who joined in! I really appreciate your support!

AQC has come and gone and I hope those of you who got to go along enjoyed it as much as I did! If you attended you would have seen several of my designs on the Ballarat Patchwork  stand and ...

 
the In Stitches of Williamstown stand ....

If you take a look at the back wall of this stand you will see my latest design which is called Animal Alphabet .... I hadn't intended to formally release this pattern until Spring Market  .... but market is so close now it hardly makes any difference so ..... Ta da!!!!!!

Animal Alphabet ... I hope you love it as much as I do!!!!

Seeing this post has turned out to be another new release blog post I guess we should have another giveaway!!!!!! Let's make it the same rules as the previous one ....

If you leave a comment on this post between now and 12MN on the 4th of May 2011 (Australian EST) you will go in the draw for one of the patterns from the three small projects that I have been teaching from this year;

Edit ...Laura from In Stitches of Williamstown has just let me know that she is also having a giveaway on her blog that has a DLN theme ... definitely worth a visit!!!  Laura also has fabric packs for Animal Alphabet for those of you keen to get started!

********************************************

I also am looking for some help with things that we will be needing for the stand at next months Spring Market ... when I asked for help last year with the Fall Market stand I got stacks of offers for help at market in Salt Lake City ... sadly when my computer broke down a couple of months ago I lost all of the contact details of those who offered help .... so hopefully you are all out there still reading along and still willing to lend a hand ... we will be needing;

* two small step ladders

* a trolley

* one or two small white book cases

* extension cords & power boards

plus a few other odds and ends ... please email me at [email protected] if you think you may be able to help and I'll let you know the full details .... plus let you in on my end of the bartering arrangement :) ....

Thanks everyone and good luck with the giveaway!!!

A gut full ...

Well I haven't actually had a gut full ... but Megan and I have been busy working on a school project since my last post ...

 
Miss Megan needed a 3D model of the Digestive System ... and what better fibre would one think of to use to cunstruct such a model? ... Well fabric of course!!!!!!

Other than recreating body organs in fabric, I have been flat out working on new projects for Spring Market ... including one that everyone will get to have a sneak peak at, at Melbourne's Australasian Quilt Convention next week - it will be featured on the In Stitches of Williamstown Stand. I'm looking forward to showing all of you this one! But you will need to wait one more week for that ...

... but ....way back in October of last year when we were at Fall Market I released the In Spring quilt which is my absolute favorite ... at the moment anyway!

 
It is featured in a couple of photos on the mail-out for AQC ... any way what I have just realised is that I haven't actually formally unveiled this quilt here ....

  

quite rediculious I know ... but stuff happens and a whole lot of stuff has happened here since October last year ... even though you wouldn't think so looking at my infrequent blog posts.

 
This quilt is stunning and not nearly as daunting as you may think ... the only real complexitiy is the amount of cutting out there is - as with the majority of my projects it is finished using raw edge applique so you should be able to whip it up in no time at all .... well not that long really!!! The shapes are small but not too small - just the right size to sew around easily.

 

The pattern also includes the much requested In Spring cushion pattern. This quilt will be featured on Ballarat Patchwork's Stand at AQC next week ... and I'm absolutely sure that Emma will have an amazing bundle of fabric to go with it!!!

Now seeing I never did an official unveiling here of In Spring then we really should have a bit of a giveaway shouldn't we especially seeing there hasn't been one here for quite some time ....

So if you'd like to play along it's as simple as this ...

Leave a comment on this post between now and 10am on the 14th of April which is when the Convention officaially begins (Austrailian Eastern Standard Time) and you will go in the draw for one of the patterns of the three small projects that I have been teaching from this year;

Family Tree
