Linda I love this bag and fabric. Buying the kit and look forward to making it.
Yes another bag
I remember many many years ago, proudly showing Russell a bag that I designed for a class. His response......."how many bags does a bag need?"........lol! If you know Russell, you will know that it was all in jest, and since then I have gone on to make so many bags that I have lost count. They a...
New website looks fantastic Karen. I know it was a lot of work but it was worth it.

30th anniversary, wow that is worth celebrating. Congratulations Karen and Ray.
Lunch out.....
Today 50 Shades and l celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. I was scheduled to meet a friend for a walk this morning so gave him a coffee in bed at 6.15am. He loved his ear, nose and eyebrow trimmer that l gave him, that surprised me a little to be honest but he tidied himself up this mornin...
Wow, your shop has grown another room!! Looking good Karen.
Day 4.....Winding Ways
It's been lovely to welcome some new faces to Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop. Those who have visited us before know that you need to wander in through the carport to find my little shop. But for the rest of WW the carport will be hosing a garage sale. Patterns and haby are out for 1/ 2 price and bolts ...
Congratulations Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop! Congratulations to you Karen, you have a lot to be proud of.
The best years of my life.....
Well at least my working life. We went out to dinner last night to celebrate an '0' birthday. Ten years ago today l opened Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop. There have been many changes over those 10 years and each one has made my little shop better. I love what l do, l love my customers many who have be...
Welcome home Mrs Martin, you have been missed.
I am back home.....
Shop doesn't open until next Tuesday. I have opened my emails and there are a lot of them that need to be answered. Be patient, l will work my way through them. But first things first, there are bills to pay and orders to pick up, they are the top things on my list.
Hope your Christmas is all that you want it to be and I am looking forward to what Mrs Martin will be doing in 2014.
Christmas Greetings......
I just wanted to take a minute to wish each and every one of you lovely ladies (no male readers as far as l know) a Merry Christmas and a fabulous 2014. 2013 has been a brilliant. I have visited small quilt shows and several stitching days. I have made many friends along the way. Thank you for i...
It was a beautiful tribute to a lovely, generous lady. Thank you Karen, you spoke so well, I was proud to be part of the quilting community. xx
In celebration of Vivian Margaret Robinson.....
6th March 1954 - 28th November 2013. Although yesterday was a very sad day it was uplifting. Family and friends filled the chapel to celebrate Viv's life and bid her farewell. The room was decorated with quilts....Viv's Creations. Family and friends spoke. I was lucky enough to be asked to spea...
My condolences to Viv's family. Thank you Karen for sharing with us. Viv's memory will certainly live on in my home especially at Christmas, I have so many of her stitchery's and patterns. Love to you Karen. xxx
Dear friends.....
It is with a heavy heart that l share with you Viv lost her fight. She has been surrounded by family since being admitted to hospital the Friday before Cup Day. Yesterday she slipped into a coma and died peacefully last night. I will miss a very dear friend, the patchwork and quilting family wi...
Viv and her family are in my thoughts as are you Karen. I love it that you count the quilts Viv has in her room.
There's been a move.....
Viv has been moved to palliative care, that happened on Tuesday. Called in tonight and she was surrounded by family. Nice to see that there were 3 quilts in her room today. The room has a nice outlook onto the garden and today the sun was shining and the sky was blue Viv seemed to doze more than...
I learnt so much from Viv about stitching, she was always so generous in every way. We have had many chats about stitching, family and yes football. My heart goes out to her family.
A quick update.....
Viv's family have been reading your beautiful posts and have been 'blown away' by what you have all written. Her daughter has been printing them off to share with the family. So thank you so much for taking the time post. It really does mean a lot. I know her family loves her dearly, but l don'...
Lovely projects and patterns Lisa, you were all very generous. It was a great day and it is good to see the pictures.
Stitching soiree...
And what a wonderful day it was. A big thank you to the 110 lovely ladies who joined Jen, Viv and I for a wonderful day of stitching, eating and laughing!!! The day always goes so quickly. Thank you for all of your lovely emails about the day i'm glad you enjoy it as much as i do... It was a ...
I am still ooooing and aaaring over my wonderful gifts today. It was a great night Karen, thank you. I feel very fortunate to have been partnered with Kerrie, thank you so much.
Mentioned that we had a night out.....
For the Sewing Circle girls last night. What l didn't mention was that there were a pair of angels there who were partners but had never met before. Last night it was my pleasure to introduce them before we sat down to eat. After the first course the three of us went off into a quite corner an...
Karen, you will not bore me with your Christmas countdown. Bring it on!! Have a great December 1st. at Phillip Island but get those Chrissy Quilts out first.
Let the countdown begin.....
Christmas is just around the corner. I am going to bore you to snorts by telling you what l get done each day. December 1st, l would usually be decorating today but l am working down at Philip Island. So this is a quick thing to do to start the ball rolling. I am going to put a Christmas quilt o...
It looks fantastic Karen, I love it.
The borders are on......
And the quilt is ready to go to Lisa to be quilted. Threw it on my bed this morning to take a pic for you, my bed is only a double, but this quilt fits nicely. When let you see it when Lisa has worked her magic. It really only took me a couple of hours to put together, you've got to love that.
It was a wonderful day. Thank you so much to Lisa and Viv. I am working on my project - 'Christmas Eve' and loving it.Lisa I hope you enjoyed your week off, you certainly earned it.
A Christmas Stitching Soiree
And what an amazing day it was. Everything came together at the end and this is how the room looked before the ladies arrived.. There were red bags with reindeers as far as the eye could see!!! Then the sun came out, the ladies arrived and a fun day of eating, stitching and chatting began. ...
I know he is a good man and he maybe helpful today but tomorrow could be very different - I am just saying .... Anyway I am glad the worst is over for you and every day you will continue to improve.
Fifty shades of Ray.....
Has been very helpful, hand is wrapped and have to keep a sling on for a week. Got the shower sorted and only had to have help with my bra. He found it was easier to do it up when it was on the right way round.

We Need A Favor
We know that Mama Said Sew hasn't even made it into stores yet (well, the pre-cuts have) and we have 2 fabric collections finished that we haven't even shown you, but we are again working on another line. In our attempt to not be rushed and have the collection done at least a week before the d...
I would love to have this pattern Lyn, it looks great. Like you I could see it on my bedroom wall. My favourite TV show is 'Six feet Under'.
I Love Hexagons
I have finished the quilting on my I Love Hexagons quilt. I machine quilted around the stitchery design and in the borders and then I tied the hexagons with Perle 8 thread. I wasn't sure how that would turn out but I really like the look of it so decided to keep it. I tried a few different co...

The fun has begun!!! I got my email.
Calling all Christmas Angels.....
Any minute now you should receive an email from me that has a letter to you, a list of what the Christmas Angels are making, a short list of questions so that l find out a little about you and a button that you are welcome to add to your blog if you have one. Like l have said, if after reading...
I must agree, it just isn't right to put all the Christmas stuff away so early and I am sure Alison will have done the same but I won't be doing it. I have agreed to stop playing the Christmas music today.
I know this isn't right......
But today l took down the Christmas decs and put them away for another year. They've been up since the first Friday of the month. So the 7 plastics tubs, the 3 Christmas trees, the painted wooden Santa and matching Christmas tree , the bag of gold woven stars and the tin village are all up in th...
I would love to win a copy of your book Sue and my favourite pattern that I would start with is Rings of Friendship. I love the design and the name.
I am sorry
For all of you who have tried to leave a comment to go into the draw for my new book and have not been able to you can now. There has been a little glitch on my blog but it is now fixed. I am sorry for the inconvenience. Also just to clarify on the give away. You don't need to have a blog to go ...
Karen, if you have made those cheese biscuits this morning, you have too much time on your hands. I know you don't sleep very much but really it is very early. Love Julie
Home made biscuits.....
I have just been making some cheese biscuits. It's nice to take a little bag of them when you catch up with people this time of the year. The recipe says lshould get 80, disappointed, l only got about 60. They lie! Does anyone else check what the recipe says and then count to see if they get the...
I would love a copy of the pattern, another very nice stitchery thank you Janet.
FREE STITCHERY FEEDBACK ... so far
Okay ... WOW!!! So far I've had more than 1100 requests for the free stitchery pattern for this ... Which is great fun here, as lots and lots of messages are being left in my inbox about how gorgeous you think it is. A little bit of confusion, some think that it's a competition, but it's a tr...
