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?
I will have to give this a go :)

Hexagon Tutorial...
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...
Hi Bronwyn,

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 :)
Its definitely on my to do list, but I really must finish your advent calender first).

A little while ago I sat and sketched a little fox. He was cheeky & knowing, with long curling whiskers and big eyes. I knew right from the start he would be red. His name? The Red Fox. So a little sketch became my next new stitching series. The Red Fox found friends, a few little hedgehogs, a...

Hi Natalie,
Love your new look patterns and that they will have iron-on transfers. I love doing stitcheries and therefore rely especially on backstitch, satin stitch and colonial or french knots. I guess backstitch has to be the most important as it is the mainstay without which the others do not come together. Though I have discovered chain stitch recently too.
