I am still stitching the Splendid Sampler with Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson..

Slowly catching up - its a bugger when you run out of ink for your printer to download the PDF files

 

This is such a fantastic project and has a lot of techniques that I am not comfortable or confident with

and that's what I loving about it.  There are no time frames - you can choose what blocks you do and don't do - over 12 months there will be 100 blocks from 82 designers. 

 A few bonus blocks and projects along the way.

 

 

I also have started the Cottage Garden Threads Club for my third year - I do still have one place left.

I have included a little bonus to help the first project.
Due to an unforeseen cancellation I do still have 1 place left cost is AUD 26.00 per month which includes P&H within Australia. This is a 12 month commitment.

 

Spent a lovely day with fabric reps ordering fabrics due to arrive in June/July hopefully will have space for them.

Easter has wizzed passed and soon it School Holidays

Well that was Easter,

Done and Dusted for another year.

 

I know it is a time to relax and enjoy family and friends but I don't quite managed that.

 

 

Friday was a day that I started hoping for a sleep in but due to a gorgeous new puppy

I wasn't quite able to manage that and didn't really enjoy the 5 am crying session.  He is in with our older dog Buckley and I sillily thought they would keep each other company.

 

Meet Cosi our newest member

 

 

Mum and Dad came to visit for Easter and it is always fun having them share my family.  DH and Nbr 2 went to Melrose camping for a Landrover Show.  Nbr 1 has started working and had 2 shifts over the weekend and there was NO WAY my daughter Nbr 3 was going to a car show - I'm seriously Mum Landrovers arrgghhh...

 

Saturday I participated in the Waikerie Markets.  I haven't done this for a few months and it was lovely to see so many people in town. 

 

Waikerie was quite busy this Easter - we had BikeSA in town staying at the local Rec Centre oval, the overflow park of our local Caravan Park opening again - this is due to some long awaited upgrades soon with a new jumping pillow and toilet amenities coming soon.   Our town really needs this development - we have the nicest river frontage in the Riverland (well I think so)

 

Not the best shot but still beautiful - free BBQ shelters, grassed river frontage, toilets, playgrounds.

 

Have just wrapped up two days of my Annual Easter Sale - it was a fantastic, fun filled two days.  Meeting new people and seeing the lovely fabrics that people bought.  The new quilt projects that people are looking at doing.  The understanding husbands, kids that were happy to come and drink tea/coffee, play with the dogs, chooks and cats whilst their  better halves shopped.

 

I have decided to leave the End of Bolts/Older Ranges bolts at $10 per metre and still have quite a few bolts left so there will always be a bargain at Nays Place.

 

 

Am enjoying the new arrivals - this week it was Kaffe Fassett, Tanya Whelan, Tim Holtz and Panduro Fabrics (these are 140cm wide - great value)

A mixed bag - all $25 per metre

The new Panduro fabrics 140cm wide

 

Am still competing The Splendid Sampler

and will be spending a bit of time this week playing catch up.

This is a fantastic free sew-a-long with an array of designers, techniques and your choice of fabric.

Up to Block 13 now (well I'm up to Block 10)

 

 

 Had a few moments to do a bit of blog hopping and stumbled across a saying from

Jenny Doan from Missouri Star Quilt Company

 

"Finished is better than Perfect"

 

I think this is a really good way to live - and perhaps I shouldn't worry so much about being perfect or that seams and points don't match but just to go ahead and do it.

 

Then my kids might finally get their Christmas Quilts from two years ago.

Blocks 1 - 7 of The Splendid Sampler and my EASTER SALE

Am having lots of fun doing the quilting journey of

The Splendid Sampler with

Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson

 

Here are my blocks 1 - 7 - I am using

Gails Pans fabrics

Basket of Blooms and Among the Flowers

 

For this block it was embroidered but my embroidery skills aren't fantastic

I used my scraps that I cut off from Block 6 to make a real scrappy quilt and off course featured one of Gails birds.

 

Here is a quick sneak of the blocks so far and one of the bonus projects

 

 

 

Also cant forget that Easter is quickly approaching and that means its SALE TIME.

What an awesome weekend and a funtastic experience

What a difference a week makes.....

Was very honoured to be asked by Gail Pan to be the 'shop' at her 'Stitched in Time ' workshop on Saturday 1st August.  Loz and Gail did an awesome job organising the

day with  4 projects from Gail and endless food and drink organised by Loz.

The day was wet and cold and made us appreciate the heating in the hall even more.

I am so lucky to have met so many wonderful ladies involved in this wonderful world of quilting.  It was so nice to see so many of you again.

9.00 rolled into 9.30 and the ladies started coming....

coffee, tea some quick purchases and at 10 Gail began with 4 projects.

Not sure how much stitching was being  done but there was certainly a lot of catching up.

I was lucky to meet some of Nays Place Facebook friends including one from WA,the Hills,  the Brooky girls, the Roxby Girls, friends from other stitching weekends and more.  

Soon the hall looked like this....

This was the first time I have taken Nays Place on the road and leaving the comfort of my shed was a big step for me - a few anxious moments - am I packing enough, and I taking the right things, will anyone buy anything, do I need more, less etc etc.

According to my husband I did pack the kitchen sink.

.

I had an awesome day - thank you all so much for making me realise

 Nays Place can be a reality and not just a dream.

The shop set up and ready to go

My trusty help Liz and myself (My kids told me I look like where's Wally in my glasses is this where I'm suppose to say thanks kids)

The shop waiting for customers ;)

Unpacking and no this isn't fun......

Some of Gail's new fabric 'Amongst the Flower' I have ordered the range and will be creating kits for Gail's Free Quilt Pattern on the Red Rooster page

Had an awesome Sunday breakfast with these ladies - 3 1/2 hours later and I eventually went home

Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend the opening of the new redevelopment of the Recreation Centre - I have been involved with a volunteer group who have worked very hard to win some Federal and State grants to do a $1 million redevelopment including new clubrooms, new courts, new playground,new seating and new run up tracks for our long jump pits.  

This is me in my 'other work' uniform

This is what I am going to play with this weekend after my daughters Netball.  My head is spinning with ideas - using Jelly Roll strips to gather and put on a quilt.

Stay tuned I am putting together a whole heap of bolts for a $10 per meter sale -

 an 'End of Winter/ Here comes Spring/ less than 20 weeks till Christmas'

Stay tuned for more
