Amee's Blog

Another bag pattern.

I bought this pattern and fabric today at a quilt show. The fabric is from Amy Butlers new range and is yummy!!! I'm making the bag from the new Posh range. It's looking great so far. I think I will make another bag with Amy's fabric.
If you go and have a look at Primitive patches.com.au  web site, there is a link to her blog on the right hand side of the page.
There is a beautiful story there about Susan. She has a wonderful husband which I'm sure you will all agree.Basically Susan was in a coma and had a long recovery time. Her husband taught himself how to quilt and bind so he could help with her unfinished quilts.
There are some photo's there of Susan's quilts.
Enjoy her story.
Off to finish my bag now. Might get another post in tonight.

Busy Busy busy......

Hopefully I don't loose this post. Well, I've been very busy the last few weeks with sewing,cutting,sewing and cutting some more. I have nothing exciting to show you just yet except for a few blocks. These are 4 of my
Quilt-a-long blocks so far. I still have last weeks to cut.  The next photo is of a kaleidescope quilt I am learning to make at  Primitive patches in Mentone. The photo is terrible but it's to give you an idea of what i'm 'trying' to achieve.
I have some more photo's i'll put in the next post. This one has taken over an hour to do. @#*&% typepad changes!!!!!!!!!!




















  

Star Quilt-a-long

Here is my first block of crazy moms quilt-a-long.
The second one is being sewn at the moment. Yes I can type and sew at the same time. I'm pretty clever hey? Actually now i'm unpicking it arggggg. I hope start cutting the joining  blocks tonight.

Trip to Ballarat

Yesterday we had a trip to one of my favourite patchwork shops. Ballarat Patchwork. It is such a beautiful shop. It is well worth the hour and a half drive. I bought some beautiful new fabrics, pattern, templates and quilt labels.
So far I have lost this post 3 times. So i'm keeping this one brief in case it disappears again.
Lots of brights and some 1930's. Then off to Gails Patchwork where it really is Mary Rose heaven to pick up some different fabrics. She must have every Mary Rose ever released.
The brights are to make a circle quilt  called Tequila Sunrise, with which I thing will look great.
Oooh look at that!!!!!! I must be sounding stressed here, my husband has just bought me a scotch and coke. ha ha
He and my son are cooking tonight's dinner. So far I've been called away 3 times to help. Now my photo's will not do as I wish them to.

This is my Star quilt I have been working on. There is over 700 one and a half inch squares used in this pattern. I have not been able to put on the final points to the stars as I have run out of the pink. ON the search now for some more fabric.
I'm going to finish this post because now my photo's are playing funny buggars. Hope you all had a great Sunday.
