Hi Lindsay - Spotlight, in Australia, actually. I haven't been on my blog in ages - but I know that a few Spotlight shops still have some yardage... I guess that only helps if you are in Australia.

Hi Diane - it sure is. It's a simple pattern, too. I've since made another one, and I carry it with me sometimes to the shops and the library.

Thank you for the lovely opportunity! I would love to enter. Amber

Hi Amy. Thanks for the giveaway - these fabric really are very precious! Amber Australia

Thanks Cary!! It sure was fast-paced. I fell off at the baby books quilt and couldn't catch up. But it's nice to be revisiting the sew-along projects at my own pace. Still, I have whole house to pack and an interstate move to plan, so I don't think I'm going to finish up this year! Amber x

Thanks Laurie - how cute are bees?! (Button ones, not real ones, that is.)

Hi Mary, Thanks for your advice about the interfacing. I will try that next time - excellent suggestion. I was really disapointed in how the interfacing behaved in this project, but it's great to have a different approach to try next time! Amber x

Hi Wens - thank you so much! I hope it isn't too obvious when the quilt is made up, but I came very close to running out of fabric, so I had to be satisfied with being less fussy (pardon the pun) with some of the blocks towards the end. I will post some pics as soon as I have pieced the top. x

Thanks Pratima! That means a lot to me coming from the creator of such beautiful work! x

Hi Wens, Thanks so much for your comment and your insights. It's really good to hear input from people who have first hand knowledge of the situation. I hope there are always fabric shops in Australia to visit and that we don't have to resort to buying online as our only option. Amber x

Hi Jenny, Thanks for your comment. The MyExcel is a great machine! It's good to hear that you had success quilting on it, I will use that as inspiration to machine quilt my Posy quilt. Amber x

Thank you Pratima. Home is the place where the soul feels at rest. I wish you all the peacefulness of home. Amber x

Hi Laura, thanks for your message. So that's a no for pumpkin scones in the UK! Good to know. The recipe was made popular by Lady Florence Bjelke-Petersen, the wife of a rather comtroversial chap, Sir Joh. They are delicious, and not at all pumpkiny, really. Here is a link to the recipe if you're keen- http://www.abc.net.au/queensland/stories/s1143809.htm Amber x PS. I hope your move home went well.

Yes, my friends from WA and I often talk about this. And WA is so beautiful - I have only visited Perth and Kalgoorlie so far - would love to see more!

Thank you, M. It will certainly be lovely. I am hoping we are all settled in before Christmas!

Hi Ivy. Thanks for your lovely comment and your helpful suggestion. I have actually put the project aside for a few days and I whipped up a couple of "burpies" for a friend with a new baby girl. Just doing something different, even such a quick project, has helped me to refocus on my Posy project. And I am going to add in a couple of non-Posy prints - thanks for the suggestion!! Feeling re-inspired now. Amber x

Hi Pratima. Thank you so much for your very sweet note. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who sometimes feels a bit uncertain part way through a project! x Amber
