Don't look now!

I am still alive .....

just busy sewing ....

and sewing .....

and sewing ....

 
and sewing some more ...

 
and teaching .... here ...

 
there ...

 
and everywhere .....

insert photo of Ballarat Patchwork's first class of the year ... that I forgot to take a photograph of ... but I will take some when we meet up again on the 6th of March guys!!!! Sorry!

I've also been busy settling the kids into a new year of school ....

and I have even managed to fit in a class for myself!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!

 
this project doesn't belong to me and unfortunately I never got the owners name ... sorry.

And right now on my design wall and my cutting table you'd find what I'm working on right now ....

... more of this soon!

But this weekend I'm off to Canberra!!!! There may be a little space in this class so if you would like to join us ... we will be working on ....

 
Thinking of you! This project is only available as a class project at this point ... but I have big plans for this one and several others that I have been busy with so far this year, so watch this space.

I hope you are all well and that you too are finding plenty of time to sew!!!

Kelliex

PS. My class list for this year has also been updated - I have cut back a little this year to try and aleviate the stress on the family so please plan ahead and get in early if you are interested in coming along!

I knew there was something I was forgetting ...

Yes it has been an awful long time between posts! Although I certainly haven't forgotten to post ... I just haven't had time ... family and the DLN have demanded so much of me that my time blogging has just had to take a back seat.

One thing is for sure Fiji is a distant memory ...

It was another wonderful family break ...

 
The kids always love holidays where our attention is so focuased on them!

... as it so happens we are in Queensland at the moment ... I am teaching at Patchwork Angel next weekend ... so the whole gang have come along for a little theme park mahem over the next few days.

I have been very busy with teaching this past couple of months ...

Drapers of Mount Macedon and ...

and the long awaited Retro Mummy class in Sydney!

 

Three times at Patchwork House !

Miss Milly's in Traralgon

Ballarat Patchwork

 

Addicted to Fabric in Canberra and the girls of the North of the Yarra Quilting Guild - no photos from this class as yet because I forgot my camera!!! Arrrrhhhhh!!!!!

With the help of Brianna I have managed to get started on setting up a different method to display all of my class photos - all of the links above will take you to the page where the class photos are displayed ...  there are a lot of class photos from earlier in the yerar that still need to be added so this really is a work in progress at the moment so keep checking back for additions!

OK that's enough for now ... obviously there is a whole lot to catch up on ... but for now I'm off to bed!

Two of Three ...

A few months ago Joshua brought home a library book called Silly Billy by Anthony Browne .... all of the kids just loved this book! The pictures were delightful and the storyline really appealed to us all ... particularly our Jessica. In the story Billy worried about everything ... and I mean everything!!!! This all stopped when he slept over at his Grandmother's house - she gave him some worry dolls to help take care of his worries ... there is a whole lot more to this story than this but I'm not going to spoil it for you ...

Our Jessica is a worrier .... she worries about everything! I can't tell you the trouble this poor little girl has sleeping. When she is in a really bad state her room literally glows from the number of lights she has on.  After we read this story I knew I wanted to make a quilt using Worry Dolls to help my sweet little girl feel safe ... and  this is what I came up with ...

Finished Quilt Size: 52” x 52” (132cm x 132cm)

 I really love this quilt ... as does Jessie!

The quilt is intended as a cuddle quilt being a lap quilt size. You could easily change this pattern around a million different ways to make it yours ... I'd like to see it made up with a simple pieced center and then run a border of little worry dolls around the edge. All of the dolls, hair & clothing are interchangeable so that you can make them look like who ever you want them to which is a lot of fun!

 
Although this is a more girlie project .. my boys are waiting 'patiently' for me to make up a cushion for them with a boy doll dressed in their football teams colours ... and because there are some boys included in the pattern wouldn't a quilt made up entirely of football players be terrific for a football fanatic!

The pattern includes instructions to make up two different cushions .. you can make the doll to suit the little person you're making the cushion for ... it also includes the entire alphabet ... so you don't have to change your children's names!

If you happen to be spending the June / July school holidays on or near the Sunshine Coast you may like visit Patchwork Angel and take a peek at this quilt in the 'flesh' one of the cushions is also visiting with A2F.

I am going to be teaching again at Patchwork Angel on the 2nd & 3rd of October  - unfortunately this class is already booked out ... it just happens to be in the last weekend of the Victorian school holidays so my entire crew will be coming along with me before the class so that we can take in some of that beautiful sunshine and all of the theme parks too of course ... I can't wait!!!!!!

As I mentioned in my last post there is a giveaway involved here!

Leave a comment on this post , my last post or the next post - before the 1st of July & one random commenter from each of these posts 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.

Good luck guys!

One of three ...

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.

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.

Mmmmm ... what do you think?

This week has been a full one trying to catch up with life that went on hold while we were in the States. I have a to do list a mile long including a commissioned quilt for Homespun which is due all too soon ... so what do you think I spent my last couple of days doing? Well it certainly wasn't the Homespun project ... oh no that would be far too sensible! Instead I though I would whip up a new project to use as a class project for tomorrows Hettie's Patch class. As always I like to live life on the edge ... I ended up rushing to make up the cushion back & attach the binding early this afternoon ... but all didn't quite go to plan ........

... where do you think the tip of this needle might be? Well your guess is as good as mine because when I finally plucked up the courage to press the button to raise the needle it was no where to be found! But I certainly never had time to waste having my finger x-rayed ... I had a project to finish & a plane to catch! So against my Local Doctor's advice I wrapped up my finger and went about my business ... he did say I should try and keep it up ... but it's the wrong finger for that!!!!!!

Now I just need to sew down the binding before tomorrow morning ... why did it have to be a finger on my left hand?????

Joseph's Coat project ... It’s well and truly time to be posting the tutorial that will help you to join rows 3, 4 & 5 of your Joseph's Coat quilt top ... however because I have been so bogged down with other things I haven't gotten my bocks finished so that I can show step by step photos of the process. This has been worrying me quite a lot but I am hoping that I have managed to come up with a solution .... I’m hoping that there’s someone who lives in the Melbourne area who has completed the 21 blocks needed to finish this step who would be prepared to meet with me so that we can work through this stage together. You would need to be able to meet with me, probably on several occasions, in order to take the step by step photos needed to write the tutorial. You will only need to do the stitching … I’ll write the tutorial. If you would like to do this with me please email me as soon as possible.

Enjoy your weekend!

Kellie

PS the new project is called In Spring .... I will post a picture once it's finished. At this stage it will only be available as a class project.

Catching up ...

Thank you all for your enthusiastic response to Little Monsters. I'm thrilled that so many of you like it!

So does Joshua ... thank goodness!

Quite a few people have said that they intend to make a 'girly' version of this quilt! It can't wait to see one made up, I think it would look spectacular!

But first to the winner from my last post ... the kit for Wish you were here goes to ....

jo_in_tas said:

"WISH YOU WERE HERE" in Tassie so I could do one of your classes. I've watched everyone with envy as they've produced your gorgeous projects. I've loved the Monster Quilt since I saw it on Display at the Melbourne Trade Show, my son reckons he's too old for it so I might have to make it for myself or even the little cushion would do.

  

... who left the 38th comment ... congratulations Jo I hope you like it ... oh and I'd love to come to Tassie for a class ... know anyone who would have me??? :)  

Quite a few weeks ago now a group of girls who took one of my workshops at Ballarat Patchwork totally blew me away with their skills, enthusiasm & industriousness! These girls really got the most that they could get from this class!

Most of the local classes that I run are held with a week or two break in between the two days of class. During the break the girls work on their technique and come back for the second day with some practice under their belt and any questions that they may have though of when they were working at home.

This class took full advantage of this and returned to the second day having finished their original practice piece and in a couple of cases finished a second practice piece and started on a third project!!!!!

It was a pleasure to teach you all! Thank you!

A huge thank you to Jacqueline.... who very kindly let me steal her photos which made writing this post soooooo much easier!!!!!!

This is Jacqueline's project ... she really has done a great job with this!!! Please stop by Jacqueline's blog ... she makes some very beautiful things! Thanks again Jacqueline I owe you one!!!!

My next scheduled workshops at Ballarat Patchwork are booked for the ...

7th & 21st of August

6th & 20th of October

Please give Emma a ring if you would like to come along!

You will find my artical here on the Sewmamasew blog today ... I have taken a look at domestic sewing machine features that make free motion stitching that little bit easier .... go take a peek!

I haven't pointed you all in the direction of the Don't Look Now ... your take on my designs page on Flickr for ages .... you really must go take a look ... you guys are really making some beautiful things!!!! Well done!!!!! If you have made something using one of my patterns or in one of my classes please upload your photos so we can all enjoy your work!!!

Enjoy your weekend guys ... I'm going to be stitching up a storm with the girls at Miss Milly's in Traralgon!!!!

Kellie

Short & sweet!

How on earth did the 23rd of April turn into the 13th of April? So much for my New Years resolution to post shorter, more frequent posts. The problem with blogging is that the longer you leave it between posts the more there is to share which makes writing the post even more daunting!

I really do have lots to share ... but from this point forward I am going to limit my posts to one or two points ... or at least that is the plan!

The Joseph's Coat project has seen one of the participants, Lina finish her quilt top!

How amazing is this quilt? You really have done a terrific job Lina & it has been an absolute pleasure having you join in! You have participated with such enthusiasm! I have enjoyed watching your progress and I I looking forward to now watching you go through the quilting process!

Lina has completed her quilt using a machine applique technique which I will use for the alternative quilt that I plan to start later in the year.

In my last post I asked for those of you who were joining in to write a progress post so that we could all visit and take a look at your project so far. Thank you so much to those of you who took the time to do this ... believe me I know how hard it is to find time to blog!!! ;) I have really enjoyed popping over and 'meeting' you all! You all really have the makings of some wonderful quilts!

If you would like to visit these guys blogs skip down to the bottom of my last post and and follow all of the links ...

I also promised a bit of a giveaway for one of you who did join in with the progress post ... because there wasn't that many of you and because I have kept you waiting for such a long time ....I have decided to give you all a little something ...

I have decided to give away 3 rolls of the of Stitch & Wash Fusible rather than one ... so they are going to ...

Quilting in the Pines who left the 8th link ...

Mespetitelefants who left the 13th link and ..

Tamara who left the 18th link.

... and to everyone else I would love to send you each a copy of  Wish you were here!

 
Could all of you that have included your link prior to this time email me your snail mail details so that I can send the things off to you.

As for my progress with my Joseph's Coat ... well sadly I have hardly even picked my blocks up since my last post! 

The Patchwork House Joseph's Coat class was a good one ... particularly because it was a terrific group of girls! Some how I managed to forget to take a group photo so I only have a few little snap shots of the day ...

 
I have decided to continue to run this class every 6 to 8 weeks for the time being ...

 
this time we will try holding it on a Thursday as it seems that Tuesdays are bad days for so many of you.

 
Many of those who attended the last class plan to return to the next one so if you would like to come along make sure you contact Kylie as soon as possible.

Joseph's Coat at Patchwork House

Thursday the 10th of June

10am - 3pm

 

I am off to Wyong this weekend for the long awaited class at

Blueberries

! This class has been a very long time in the planning so I am really looking forward to it! This class was booked out several months ago ... but as life is so variable there are now a couple of places available so if you can make it please come along it should be a terrific class!

Ok ... that's it ... let's see if I can keep up the whole 'short and sweet' plan! ...No ... I can't possibly go with out a little peek at what I have been doing while I have been an absentee blogger!

 Can you guess what this quilt is?

 You are only seeing the backing fabric in the first two photos ...

Does this help a little more? You will find this one in Quilters Companion in a couple of months time.

... and as for this tiny little snippet ... this one ... providing all goes well will be coming with me to the Spring Market in just a few short weeks!

Four workshops, a couple of trunk shows & some winners!

Life around the home of DLN has taken a rather busy turn since the kids went back to school those few short weeks ago! Time allotted for blogging is being soaked up with so many other things!!! Sorry for the absence!

I know you all have been waiting for the results of the giveaway post so we had better get to that first up!!!

The winners of the first two prizes are .....

(Comment 181) I LOVE your designs and was just awe struck when I found your blog 6 months ago. I read all of your old posts right up to the present and that really makes time fly. I wish I lived in Australia so I could attend some of your classes! I did attempt your free tutorial last month and although it wasn't perfect my God-daughter adores it!! Please count me in for the drawing and I am going to use your give-away as my excuse to go buy one of your patterns... Thanks for your time AND talent to share with us.

Congratulations Guys & thank you all for joining in!!!

We have just returned home after spending the long weekend on Phillip Island. We spent lots of time doing the usual family activities but best of all we got to watch the Fairy Penguins ... in the pouring rain ... but believe it or not it was still lots of fun!

Photo from billadler...

A few class photos are well and truly called for to finish this post off as there have been quite a few workshops over the past fewweeks ... sadly I had a total brain freeze a few days ago and managed to delete quite a few of my class photos ... so if you are one of my 'missing in action' please send me a photo of your finished project so that I can include it in the 'mix'!!!!

Brilliance at Ballarat ...

Check out Denise!!! Pretty fantastic don't you think?!!!  How is your My Sweetheart cushion coming along Denise? I'd love to see it!!!

This very pretty project belongs to Jo! I can't wait to see it finished Jo!!!

Please send me a shot of your finished projects guys so that I can included them!!! So sorry I lot your photos!! :(
 
 Perfection at Patchwork House

This little project belongs to Brianna! What a beautiful collection of fabrics! Brianna worked hard even though her machine wasn't so kind to her at times! Brianna is working on Meg's Garden ... hopefully she will share it with us once she's finished!!!

Jacinta took to this like a duck to water! Her free motion was terrific & she was an absolute star at fussy cutting!

Robyn was absolutely amazing! Her skills were second to none by the end of the two days! Her raw edge was spectacular and her free motion was excellent! I'm looking forward to seeing your version of Rainbow Lollipops Robyn!

Fran worked up a storm and even managed to put her cushion together by the end of the class while still managing to put in lots of time practicing her free motion stitching!

There are a few photos missing here to guys so I would love it if you could help me fill in the blanks!

Extra-ordinary Essendon Quitlers INC ....

Thank you for making my job easy!

I'm back in Ballarat later this week and at Patchwork on Central Parkthis coming weekend ...

Kellie

eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!!

Yep it's that time again! ... well it was actually yesterday ;)

... and who could wish me a more fitting Birthday wish than Hoops & Yoyo????

I love these guys!!! Make sure you check out their Hallmark cards they are fantastic!!!

Soooooo many things happening here at the moment but I only have a few minutes to spare so let's see what I can cram in here!

If you are in Newcastle for the Craftfest ... then you simply must go check out the Blueberries stand they have a little collection of my quilts and cushions to take a peek at and they also have all of my patterns in stock if you feel the need to get up close and personal with Don't Look Now!

Also if you do happen to buy a pattern make sure you keep your receipt so that you can enter the giveaway... you still have 6 more days to get your entries in!!!

Julie from A Quilting Passion will also be at the Craftfest. Julie has a great on-line shop and has many of my patterns in stock so make sure you stop by and say hi and spread a little of the love around!!!

I am the guest speaker at the Essendon Quilters Inc next Wednesday night ... if you are coming along please make sure you say hi!!! Speaking to such a large group is a little daunting so it's always nice to have a few people in the crowd who I 'know' :) !

Joshua and all of the other Prep's serenaded us last night at the school with a terrific song called Connie Confidence!!! 

My sweet boy I am so pleased that you are loving school so much!!!

I have so many things that I want to share with you but I have made a resolution to try and post smaller more frequent posts ... so all of the details about last weeks Ballarat class ...and the latest Joseph's Coat round up will have to wait until next time. But just a couple of photos wont take too long ;)

 

Ballarat Patchwork has a really nice Little Monsters pack available ... that looked so perfect sitting with my quilt!

 
So many beautiful fabrics!!! This shop is really worth a visit!!!

While I am thinking about it this wall quilt ... With love from me... is most definitely available check with my retailers if you have been waiting for it .... 

 
Before I go I will share one more slightly exciting thing .....

Don't Look Now is coming to America!!!!!!

Wooooo Hoooooooo!!!! I can not tell you how excited and terrified I am about this one!!! On the 17th of May this year Jan & I will be packing up all of my quilts and cushions and anything else I can cram into my suit case and heading across to Minneapolis, Minnesota where we will be meeting up with my darling Anna who is going to be helping us out at the Spring Quilt Market!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to need to go lay down for a while now after actually 'saying' this out loud!!! It makes it all very 'real' doesn't it!

You may also like to pop over to Jan's round up of our Sewjourn weekend ... excellent post Jan, thanks!

Enjoy your Friday!!! I know I'm looking forward to the weekend!

Kellie

PS. I got sucked into bringing home Tom's brother .... meet Timmy!

Two & 1/12th ...

Sunday the 10th of January was the second anniversary of Don't Look Now! ... yes, yes I know I'm a little late!

  

It now seems hard to believe that there was life before blogging ....

I have no idea what I did with my time before Don't Look Now!!!

... other than run around after this lot of course!!!

Blogging has been so good for me in so very many ways!

I have gotten to know so many wonderful people through blogging ...

it has provided me with a creative distraction in a time of my life where it was so desperately needed ...

... and quite unexpectedly ... blogging has paved the way toward a whole new career ....

... a whole new direction in my life that I would never have thought possible two years ago when I first clicked on Save Post ...

Thank you!

... to all of you! It certainly wouldn't be as much fun without you!!!!!

 

Now we all know that one can't have a Blogaversary with out a giveaway!!!! So if you leave a comment here between now and mid night on the 25th of February (Australian EST) you will have the opportunity to collect one of these three prizes...

Finally, if you purchase any one of my patterns from any of my retailers between now and 12 midnight Australian EST on the 25th of February  (must be in this time period please) and you send me confirmation of this via email before midnight on the 26th of February, I will randomly draw one person who will receive the original Thank you!cushion (see above) plus a Country Life Diary & a packet of Lite Steam-A-Seam2 & 2 metres of Floriani Stitch & Wash Fusible.

This is Tom (centre)! He is so adorable and has soaked up every spare minute of my time!!!

He and his brother& sisters are rescued kittens ... if you would like one well I suspect you are probably too late as these little cuties are going to be walking out the door!!!!

As for me, well .... I spent the weekend at Sewjournwith Jan & 6 others sewing, eating, relaxing & generally enjoying ourselves & each others company.
 
Jan, Kerry, Lara, Mary, Kylie, Leah & Donna (left to right)

Mary & Donna traveled all the way from Canberra to join us!!! Donna is lucky enough to work at Addicted to Fabric! I am so looking forward to my trip there in a couple of weeks! Donna had a very beautiful pack of fabric with her that they sell with together with my patterns at A2F ...

Not bad?!!!! Makes you just want to go buy some fabric doesn't it???!!!!

Thank you guys for a really terrific weekend!!!! There are many other photos to share from the weekend but for now I need to finish up and get some sleep ... I'll post them on Flickr in the next few days.

So what's next in the house of Don't Look Now ... well .... I'm off to Patchwork House in the morning for my first workshop there for the year!

... and on Saturday I will be scooting off to Ballarat  for the last day of a workshop that we started a couple of weeks ago ... these guys came from far and wide!!!

 I can't wait to see how you guys are coming along ... but more on this next week!

Just a thought for those of you who are locals and have been thinking about joining the Joseph's Coat Quiltalong but either haven't gotten around to it yet or maybe you might like a little more coaching ... if you are interested in coming along to a class to get you started or over a hump then email me and we will look into setting something up.

Good luck with the give away and thank you again for all of your support over the past two years!

Enjoy what's left of the week!

Kellie

PS. Finally we have a Sydney class!!! Woooo Hoooo! Go take a peek!!!!!!
