Coming Soon...

Interested in planning a trip to the Grampians/Wimmera in October?...as well as all the other things on offer in the region the weekend of 12-14 October 2018 includes a Quilt Show!

The quilt is the raffle quilt...Stawell Quilters hosted a lovely day for the VicQuilters Autumn Gathering a couple of weeks ago and it was displayed - the first time I'd seen it put together and an opportunity to snap a photo...typically a photo doesn't do justice...

Each flower is one that is found in the Grampians...35 in all...a snapshot of the region's flora.

Raffle tickets will be available closer to the date and, of course, at the Show...just sayin'...

Happy stitchin...

Small Hexie Garden Quilt...

Back here I posted about a little quilt of a garden of small hexie flowers...at that time that was the whole wee quilt...it grew...I looked at the original nine patch with a border square and thought...mmm, maybe another border...and it went from there...and became a challenge to myself to see how far I could get using just those two stacks of fat 16th's...

It measures 21 1/4" x 27" (it isn't actually wavey, it was folded over and I just pegged it straight up for the photo) with scrappy binding and using as much as possible of the balance of fabric as a pieced backing...only some of the small prints that can easily be blended in with other fabrics left in the scrap box...

I quilted it in the ditch a couple of months ago and have been wondering what else to do and have finally decided that will be nothing...leave it as it is and call it done.

Happy Stitching...
