Gail Pan's latest BOM

Thought you might like to see Gail Pan's latest BOM which she posted on facebook yesterday. Some of you might have already seen it. Isn't it stunning. I love the colours and the mix of stitchery, applique and piecing. Apparently the pattern will be available in January.

A finish (thankgoodness)

I have finished the last of the town blocks for the My Town quilt and just have the centre and corner blocks to go. I think they will be very easy after tackling this one!! A very challenging block with lots of tricky hand stitching. Good luck when you get to it Raewyn.

Have a great week my fellow Sample Sisters.

Christmas is Coming

A reminder that Christmas is just around the corner ... what a lovely collection of work!!

Not patchwork related!!

 This is what I nearly walked into when out pest monitoring yesterday!! These naughty bees have left home and made themselves a new nest in one of our young avocados.'

Isn't this lovely, a nearly black iris. Even after living here for 3 years we are discovering new plants 'popping' up.

For Saturday......





For you Leeanne - The tricky block

This is why I had to stay behind after class!! Lots of concentration required. Whoops I haven't trimmed up yet.

This is what can be achieved when one has a quiet house to themselves for an hour on a Sunday morning. Husband still sleeping and no grandchildren staying over!! Loved doing these blocks Raewyn. They went together so well, thank you.

This is what greets me first thing in the morning when I look out my kitchen window. This wonderful old rose has an amazing perfume. The windows get opened wide so I can enjoy.

Have a great week all my fellow 'sisters'.

With the help of My Sisters!!

This blog post is a joint post as without the help of my sisters these samples would never have been made!!

Firstly, a beautiful cushion made by the lovely Megan

and this cushion was ... started by Di, quilted by Leeanne and finished by me
