Blog Wednesday!!

Welcome to Blog Wednesday!

Now I'm going to try really hard to do this every Wednesday.

So what are we up to?

This Saturday we are off to Quilt Market which is a trade only show and always fun to see what new fabrics are coming out and the current trends. We always find ourselves a bit different to whats there which is good for us. And we always come home with more ideas.

We are still working on the samples for Karen and Summer school in the opposite colour ways to what each other has already done.

this is the centre of Lisa's circle/9 patch quilt.....

Thanks Karen for the pic!!

So hopefully this Sunday it will go together. Lisa also has son number 2's 18th Saturday night so we'll see how the sewing goes.

Lou is also working on her Hexagon quilt and you can see they are going to be quiet opposite...

Lou has oldest daughter off to New York for Uni which will be great.

We got some nice mail the other day...

This is the new Collection for a Cause range and French Generals Petite Prints. A fat 1/8th bundle each.

Very nice ranges.

Thanks for dropping by and next week will mark our 100th post so better talk to Lou about having our very first Give Away!!!

Lost in the world of......

Well it has been a while again since we posted on our Blog. We get so caught up in the easy world of Instagram and also Lou does Facebook that our poor Blog gets very neglected. So then I thought maybe we should make one day of the week Blog day but.......which day should that be and what if we have nothing to say! mmm who us 2 nothing to say.... Yes I hear all our friends laughing at the moment going yeah right you 2 speechless!!

So what have we been doing? 

First we have Summer School on the 17th January with Mrs Martins Quilt Shop so we have been busy finishing samples for this fun day.

Barb our lovely side kick of Theodora Cleave fame will be joining us for the day with her gorgeous buttons also.

You can call Karen if you would like to join us she said today we have about 6 places left so be quick.

A couple of weeks ago we added a column on the right for where we will be next year.

We are pleased to announce we will be having 4 relax and sew days in conjunction with Lilly Patches.

These are days you can come along and work on anything you would like to. See the dates to the right and call June if you would like to put your name on the list as numbers will be limited.

On the 11th July Barb and Max & Louise will be having a Christmas in July workshop at the Uniting Church in Boronia also ran in conjunction with June from Lilly Patches.

Come along for a great day of Christmas projects designed by Barb and ourselves. Go home with patterns for all the projects from the day. More info to come end of February for that day.

We are also very excited to have been asked to design a quilt and teach for the Ballaarat Quilters 20th Birthday retreat in November next year. We are very honored to have been invited to such a special occasion with these ladies, and have already so many ideas for how their special quilt will come together.

Also we hope to run our first ever weekend away in August so watch this space!!

And last but not least we are hoping to have our first booth at Houston International Quilt market next year!!

We are pretty excited about that we can tell you now.

So we have 9 new patterns for next year on the drawing board ranging from mini quilts to big quilts some stitchery, applique and loads of inspiration for our antique treasures. 

If you don't follow us on Instagram or Facebook you may like to as we really have become lazy bloggers but promise to try a little harder ok!

So maybe Blog day can be Wednesday not sure why other than its "hump day" 

See you all next Wednesday!!!

Lisa & Lou.
