Hi Lynette,
Thanks for the tute as I have never done hexies before. As for the reusable paper: how do you get it out if it is clued down?

Traditional English paper piecing (EPP) has grown so much in popularity in the last few years and although I have not made a whole quilt using this technique I have had fun using EPP on or for various projects that I have made. Here is one of the blocks from 'Stitched By Me', notice the little h...

I've been doing heaps of needleturn applique work lately. Here's a couple of nearly-finished needleturn projects I've been working on. This will be a tablerunner... I've also been working on a large applique quilt in pretty browns and pinks... I love these long Redwork, Christmas stitch...
Hi Natalie,
It's so lovely to hear from you again. I was quite concerned as it was so unlike you. I'm sorry to hear why, but delighted to know that you are coming out of the other side. I have been in a nasty situation like that and it is shocking and debilitating. Sending you more love and courage.
Hugs, Sharon

I am Titanium..........!!
It's been 10 months since my last post and I have thought long and hard as to whether or not I was going to write this post today. I have decided on a yes but in saying that you will probably find this post a little cryptic, a touch mysterious and perhaps draw from it what you will. The reason.....

Mixing Fabric Collections..
I have been busy playing with some lovely wool which I am using for some of the applique in my new quilt. I made some of these lovely star blocks in my quilt Christmas Fun and love them, even though at 3" finished they were a bit of a fiddle to make. I am not sure they are exactly what I want ...
Hi Anni,
My favorite appliqué quilt is 'a boys story' ...I do have 3 sons after all. I also love 'my angels garden' and 'Christmas cheer' ( which I started last year, too late for Xmas) a couple of them would look fabulous on my dinner table.

The Birdhouse.
.....especially if I have a comfy chair and some sewing to do as well. So, when I saw that Natalie Bird of the Birdhouse had two new books - totally dedicated to two of my favourite things- redwork and stitching- I had to grab a copy of each and avidly devour them from cover to cover! ...
I was lucky enough to see this in the flesh at the Melbourne craft show recently (and meet you too "shriek of delight"). It and you were absolutely gorgeous. I particularly loved the tree stitchery. Its always wonderful meeting someone you admire :)

Last week was the Brisbane Craft & Quilt Fair. I had a great time, manning our stand (Thread & Ginger) with my good friend Sonia, and my lovely mum, who both gave up their time to come in and help out. As usual, the tempting displays all around me, meant that I came home with lots of new goodies...
