Apples

Lots happening in our household, the beginning of winter sports - goodbye saturday morning sleep in/ hello beanie,gumboots,coffee and a bacon & egg roll at 7am.
Family coming to visit from Ireland over the weekend which I'm looking forward to.

 A few projects on the hop that need to be finished and most exciting - I'll be teaching a class at Calico & Ivy Balmain next term, so I'm doing my prep work for the class. 
My Classes will be on a Thursday 10:30 - 1:30 and fortnightly (five classes all up).

Calico & Ivy



The class list etc will be emailed out to everyone on the email list later this week, so sign up if your not already on the email list - not many places in the classes so you will need to be quick sticks or you'll miss out.
I picked up some lovely Liberty of London fabric today from Calico & Ivy Balmain. I'm starting to do my examples for the class and I will be using the Liberty Fabric. 






Below are the Quilts we will be working on,The class is still being nutted out a bit - but I want to encourage Improv Quilting using simple shapes and also looking at structure and colour  technique in the log cabin.


Scrappy Quilt - Improv

Be Square Quilt - Log Cabin




for more info in regard to class content check out Calico & Ivy towards the end of the week.
These quilts suit both beginner and Advance students. The possibilities are endless.

Chicken Spots

The joy of children
Half of my mob have come down with the chicken pox (apparently called Chicken spots if your 4 years of age). So far all good - a few big awful spots and a bit itchy, but I am only on day two.So Im not home free yet. 
Lucky for me I have a bit of quilting to keep me occupied for my week at home house bound or trapped!!!!! some might even say.



Scrappy Quilt
This is Mrs Scrappy finally done and finished, I ended up binding her in a grey and white honeycomb - I think it's my new favourite neutral, it goes with everything!
anyway this Quilt is going to a lovely little one for her 1st Birthday = Happy Birthday Nyah :)

Be Square Quilt
The squares are so square! all right angles and exact. I especially like the way the squares jump out from the linen. Binding was done in my Fav pink paisley from Liberty of London, watch this space for some more liberty - I got gifted a nice little pile for my birthday not long ago, maybe this will be the week I cut it up??? Love Love Love Liberty.

I've started machine sewing my Binding on - Is that naughty? It's much much faster.
