I wish my not so little boys were still little. They would have loved your alien. Although I think my 9 year old would still like to have one!
News Flash!!!
News just in.... "There have been multiple sightings of a new life form in Melbourne's outer east. It appears that after all of these years of speculation and research; another life form truly does exist! Preliminary reports suggest that this Alien does in fact "come in peace", wishing only top...
What can I say. That is the most beautiful advent calendar I have seen. I'm looking forward to see it all finished. Regards, Christine M.
Advent Angels Giveaway!
I know I said I wouldn't be back till the 23rd, but what can I say.... I missed you all too much! I have been stitching 'til my fingers bleed (literally) and I have finished the Advent calendar wall Quilt - "Advent Angels". It is really lovely and I have had several little family friends begging...
I just love the "little birds". What fun they would be to embroider.
Sublime season... Cinderberry Stitches keeping us all "in stitches"
Hello everyone, I am Natalie from Cinderberry Stitches - Laura has kindly asked me to be a part of her series of 'blog interviews' so I hope to entertain you for at least a few minutes! Cinderberry Stitches has become my artistic release. From a young child I always had a pencil in my hand fi...
Merry Christmas to you as well Rosalie. Have a good break. Regards, Christine M.
Merry Christmas!
Was this a good way to spend 4 days of my life? I think so! I hope the 6 recipients feel the same way. I am also still stitching away on the Advent Quilt. In the meann time though, I am having a bloggy break for a month. Make sure to check back on the 23rd of January for the quilt reve...
I wish you and your family and very Merry Christmas, Melly. Have a wonderful break and I look forward to catching up with you on blogland in January. Kind regards, Christine M
From me to you...
Today has come along oh so very quickly and I am amazed that tomorrow is already the beginning of our Christmas festivities! I think much of the next 24 hours will be spent in the kitchen cooking, with the air-conditioner hopefully winning the fight against the stove to keep the house cool-ish. ...
Hi Natalie, I agree with you. It would be nice to have something new to stitch over the holidays. Regards, Christine M
Santa's on his way.....Giveaway!!!!
Not too long to go now. I am slowly getting organised and only a few more pressie's to get and then it's the food!!!! My very non favourite place would have to be the supermarket. I loathe it. having to think about what everyone wants to eat for the week and then there's the whole cooking thing ...
Hi Melly, All the patterns are lovely. If I was lucky enough to win one, which would I choose? That's the hard question! Regards, Christine M
What's New?... (& giveaway)
Last night we came home from a fun weekend at AQM. It was a great weekend full of laughter, friendships old and new, great food and wine, and of course a little bit of work (If you can call that work??!!) Despite such a fabulous time, I am also a little glad that the weekend is over... AQM was ...
Hi Natalie, I'm well on my way with Christmas. I have made this year's Christmas wall hanging and a Christmas tree skirt for my mother as a surprise. I'm also just about finished most of the Christmas shopping too!. Regards, Christine M. PS I just love the ladybirds!
Lucy's big day & a giveaway!

1 entry - I vote for the Kona solids.
5 entries - I love Moda fabrics but I'm just starting to collect reproductions.
Alas I don't have a blog, but I'm starting to think I need one!
It would be exciting to win a jelly roll. It would be my first! Thanks for the great giveaway. Cheers, Christine M
Which Fabric Do You Desire? (Another Giveaway)
My Moda salesman was here on Friday, tempting me with samples of all the fabric lines that were introduced a few days before at Quilt Market in Houston. I'm attempting to maintain a style of fresh, modern, designer fabrics to use in my quilts and sell in my etsy shop, so it was easy to say no to...
Your Willow pattern is just beautiful (and so are all of your other patterns). What fun it would be to make it.
Willow & Lilly Pilly .... among other things!
Willow ... & Lilly Pilly .. were launched at Hettie's Patchover the weekend corresponding with the workshop that was an absolute pleasure to be a part of ... thanks for the photo Leanne! ...but more on that next post as there is too much to get through already for one post! ... so as I ...
Hi Natalie, I was sure I had sent you a comment but it seems to have disappeared! I just love the ladybird crackers. What a great idea. I hope I'm not too late to go into the draw for your slumber party pattern. Cheers, Christine
It's a Party & a Pattern giveaway!
I spent the whole day yesterday down in Sydney with my Mum, Jack and his friend Michael. It is the school holidays here at the moment and last week was raining most days and I was without my car. So I thought I had better put down needle and thread and do some holiday fun stuff, so off we went d...

Now this is a take three of this post, make that take four, no make that take 5 and 24 hours later. Not quite sure whether it is my computer or typepad but It keeps shutting down and I keep losing everything so I will get straight into it before it decides to take another holiday to where ever!!...
How exciting to hold your book in your hands! I can't wait to see it. Congratulations. Regards, Christine
"A Stitch in Time" is here!!!!
After a long wait today, the truck finally arrived at about 2pm. Mum, Dad, Cait and I unloaded the truck (because the truck driver refused as we didn't have the correct hydraulic lifters!) Nothing like a bit of exercise! Anyway, with all of that, I forgot to take a photo of the pile of books in ...
Hi Melly. I just love the lantern. How fun it would be to make. I'm sure I couldn't stop at one!
Lantern strings giveaway
The Glen-harrow stitch-in is now over for Rosie so we are both getting our skates on this morning and upping the "Get ready for Houston" ante!!! Today we have started in a flurry, doing photos, updating catalogues, making samples and writing patterns..... I think this may be the pace of the nex...
Leon is just beautiful. How romantic having a song written and recorded for your significant birthday. That is certainly a very special gift. Regards, Christine M
Leon giveaway and my favourite 40th birthday present
Yay! I just finished the pattern for Leon!!!! Well, Mr Q and I just finished the pattern. He always writes the patterns as I dictate them to him. We have a great system going and we have perfected it over the last 10 years or so. I am a very lucky woman to be married to him. On that note, I w...
Hello Kelly. It was lovely to meet you today at the North of the Yarra Quilters. And it was lovely to see your beautiful work up close. Thank you for sharing them with us. Regards, Christine
Cupcakes, special friends and all things yum!
Miss Jessie celebrated her 7th birthday in style with her three very best friends last Sunday. This year she had a baking party ... for four hours they measured, weighed, stirred, rolled, baked & giggled while preparing all of the food for the party! It was a great party theme and they really...
Hi Leanne. I just love the scissor keep (and the pin cushions and the doilies and the quilt!) They would certainly make lovely Christmas presents. Regards, Christine
Giveaway!
Back at last (after my computer has been very ill again and at 'computer hospital' since my last blog entry!). The good news is there's two new patterns out (they have been available for around a week so your local shop may have them by now) and I have a giveaway to celebrate with you. I know so...
What a wonderful sight to see on your table. And with the added bonus that the fabrics were designed by you. I can't wait to see them "for real". How lucky would you be to win some of them?
Fabric give away!
Look what came this morning! Look what was inside!!! Ever wondered what 35 bolts of fabric look like on a dining room table? Well, seeing all that fabric made me realise I can spare a little! I have decided to do a fabric give away! I am off to create 3 fat quarter bundles of 10 fabrics...
