quilting, photo shoots & markets

A few quick pics

I've had a couple of busy days finishing and starting projects and then today I had an Australian Quilting Magazine at my house photographing for a up coming publication, very interesting and lots of fun.The Mag will be on sale in 3 or so months time - no doubt I'll be showing you when its out ;-)

Prior to all of that on the weekend I went to the Finders Keepers Markets and saw some familiar faces selling lovely things.

The screen printed Owl is one of Kristen Doran's. I saw it at the Finders keepers Market and had to buy it - Too cute!

I'm teaming it up with my Text fabric and some light denim. Not sure exactly what I'm doing just knew how I wanted to start it! I'll keep you posted.....

all the above fabrics are available to buy in my Spoonflower shop

and this lovely screen printed fabric is from Leslie of Maze & Vale - the flowers I scored from the photo shoot

I'm loving Purple and Green at the moment!

My garden is full of it

I really need to look for some fabric combinations that are similar .....

anyway

I'm off to enjoy a Chai Latte and some peace and quiet :)

I've had a fun few days - busy but fun.

Today I was at the Sydney Craft & Quilt Fair again, I came back to have a good look at the Quilts on display and also to do Louise Snook's screen printing workshop. So much fun, 1.5hrs and it went by so quickly. 

for the class we drew & cut a paper stencil, I went with a simple rose kind of shape - I'm not the best drawer - so it needed to be abstract :)

and then mixing the colours and printing

me in action

Voila - Finished

Great workshop and well worth doing. Very unimpressed Louise is based in Western Australia! If only she was based in Sydney :)

I think I've found a new thing.
