Antique Flower Basket Quilt

Wow, I love this Antique Flower Basket Quilt that Glenice Jones made for her Son Cliff and his bride Kim for their wedding in September 2008 Glenice joined the Pattern of the Month Program last year. Each month for 6 months those in the program receive a part of the pattern for this quilt plus another pattern for a smaller project. That's a total of 7 patterns. The bonus patterns are bags, table toppers, small quilts etc.

The program is now available as a full set rather than having to wait for each month's package to arrive.

Thanks Glenice for sharing this fabulous quilt with us. Happy quilting!

Congratulations, Glenice, this is a superb quilt!

West Australian Quilter’s Association Raffle Quilt

I'm always delighted to see the quilts that others make from my designs. This is a real beauty! It's from my paterrn "To Everything There is a Season" and I love it in these colours.

The quilt has been made by Barbara John and her sewing group, fabric selection was made by Barbara and 2 of the QuiltWest committee early in June. Several people helped Barbara make the quilt and the quilt was longarmed quilted by Barbara

The Quilt will be exhibited during the West Australian Quilter’s Association’s QuiltWest Exhibition in May where raffle tickets will be available. Raffle tickets will go on sale at the beginning of March. Funds are being raised for the Royal Flying Doctor and Breast Cancer Research. It is very likely that the quilt will tour a few Perth Metropolitan Quilt shops when tickets go on sale. Watch out for the article in "Australian Patchwork and Quilting" magazine.

Wouldn't you like to win this beauty?

Anniversary Knit along shawl

While I still can't manage the cutting and sewing required for patchwork and quilting, I have kept myself amused by getting involved in a Mystery Knit-along from Goddess Knits. The mystery is now finished and the pattern is available from here. It's a fantastic round shawl using the "Pi construction" method. Each of the 5 clues had 4 choices of patterns and this is my finished masterpiece:). I used JoJoLand Harmony yarn, which is a lace yarn with gradual colour changes. It's not perfect but I love it :)

Thanks again Anna for modelling the shawl!

Happy knitting and quilting
