Table Runners

Here’s my latest version of our table runner!  It was soooo quick to make – only took an evening and I just had the bind left to tack down the next morning. 

They make great gifts and the pattern’s available free on the right side of our blog.

We’ve made up some kits in these exact fabrics that are selling for $23.50 with backing or $19.50 without backing.  We’ve made lots of other kits too…..some with cows, others with horses, some with chillies on black ……all with different co-ordinating prints.

If you’d like to order a kit, we’re open Monday – Saturday 9am – 3pm and you’ll find us on 07 4663 1193.

Catching up

 

Regular blogging is just not my thing – is it?  Never mind…..here’s a bit of what’s been happening here lately….

Here’s Elaine’s Twisted Bargello

And Carol’s

And Nancy’s

And Dorothy’s

This beautiful quilt was a surprise gift from the Cowbelles Girls for Tom and I for our wedding recently.

This is Pam’s quilt she made from her birthday squares last year.

Finally, here’s my sample for our zig-zag class in May

Friday February 26th, 2010

  

Unbelievable!  We’re blogging two weeks in a row!!!!

First up is my “Hopscotch” Bag sample ready for our class on March 16th.  The pattern’s from Melly and Me.

This is Angela’s “Strawberry Jellies” top from a class last Saturday.  The fabrics are Moda’s “Birdie” range.

Some interesting fabric combinations getting ready for next Tuesday’s “Twisted Bargello” class.

Friday February 19th

    

I’m still not too good at regular blogging…..but here’s a little catch up on what’s been happening here lately….

First, here’s Sue’s “Blackbird Pie” quilt that she made in a class here last year.  Sent in via email for “virtual” show and tell!

And here are some of our “Oregon Trail” blocks from January’s “Dollar Block” class.

These are Effie and Carol’s “Tumbling Blocks” tops from class at the end of last year…

Effie’s top from our 2009 Mystery Quilt.

This is the sample quilt for our “Strawberry Jellies” classes.

One of our very special regular sewers is going thru a rough patch, so we all made her an "Oregon Trail” block from brights on a white background.  We spent a lovely day putting them together and another a week later binding it after Carol had worked her quilting magic on it.  This is the resulting quilt…..

These are some of the “Dandy” blocks from February’s “Dollar Block” class.

And, last, but not least, this is Carol’s “Bargello Heart” top.

Friday November 20th……

Despite my best intentions, regular blogging is proving almost impossible.  Anyway, here are some of the things we’ve seen in show and tell lately… First up, these are some of the “Memory” blocks that were made in October’s “Dollar Block” Class…..

This shot came in via email from Del.  It’s Beryl the Bilby perched in the hedge out the front of the shop when they were passing through last year.

These are Di’s…. first her teddy bear quilt, then her mystery quilt from last term and her Mariner’s Compass from a class here with Lessa SIegele in June.

This is Pam’s “Turning 20” quilt made from her birthday fat quarters….

And Erica’s top from the “Fran’s Fab Jelly Roll Quilt” class that we held recently.

and her quilt for her new grand-daughter…..

Some closeup detail….the beautifully neat blanket stitch was done on a long haul flight. Those “Sew Easy” thread cutters/needle holders that you wear on a lanyard around your neck appear to pass airport security ok.

This is Mary’s “Magic Lining Bag” from some gorgeous Lorelei fabric with ladies in their swimmers……

And Carol’s raggy bag….

I couldn’t resist a shot of Carol’s cat asleep on her Double Wedding Ring Quilt in progress….

Effie’s “Just Charming” Bag…..

Pam’s Mariner’s Compass from Lessa’s class here in June…..

Janette’s layout of a special quilt for her Dad….

and her “Eddystone Light” block from November’s Dollar Block day….
