Monbulk CFA Quilt Show

The annual Monbulk Community Quilt Show is on again on

SATURDAY 15TH MARCH.

This year we are also grateful to be invited to have display as  guest designers!! We will have our quilts on display and be there to demonstrate products we love. You can check out Mrs Martins Quilt Shop blog for more info or to contact Karen in regards to displaying quilts.

The details are above and the first 100 through the door will receive a show bag full of really cool things.

So don't be late!!

All money raised on the day goes to supporting the wonderful work the volunteer CFA members do to help protect our community. There will be other stalls on the day so we are sure something to suit the whole family.

Come and say Hi!!

Summer School

Oh what a day. We taught a workshop today for our two new patterns 

Airlie 

And Cranbrook

With Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop. 

Karen (aka Mrs Martin) spent all week preparing the hall and baking (yes, in 44 degree heat)!  

It looked amazing. 

We will apologise for the green tinge in the photos.  The light was good in the hall, but it casts a green glow in photos... Odd....

We had a great bunch of ladies, 63 in all. Including some wonderful friends, ladies we have taught before and some new ladies. 

One lovely lady told us of a quilting tour/ trip to the USA she had last year. She said that because they all came with a common interest that they all got along instantly. This group was the same. It seemed as though everyone had a wonderful time and we had a blast. 

Here are some photos of what everyone was working on: 

Thanks so much for a great day everyone who came and to Karen for organising a very successful Summer School!

We look forward to seeing some PhD's and completed quilts soon.

PS. We are in issue 99 of Quiltmania which is being delivered now.  We shall give you a sneak pic in the next couple of days. 

Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop

On Friday night we popped in to see Karen at Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop in Emerald.
Karen had some show and tell for us....
A few years ago Lou taught a double wedding ring class at the shop and Karen was happy to do her "ta-da" moment....

 We love seeing what other people create and this was no exception.
Karen regularly packs the car and heads to show's all over the place, leaving Bron to cover her in the shop. October is proving to be a busy month; Karen has many of our samples so be sure to check her diary and see where she is over the coming weeks.

For those of you who haven't found their way to Mrs martin's Quilt Shop, here is a sneak peak....

We just had to take a photo of this wall of many of our samples.... 

 Our next workshop is scheduled for Saturday January 18th.  Our samples are nearly finished (we promise not to keep you waiting too much longer!)

Our newest pattern Colours Of Spring is now available and should be in stores very soon....

Colours of Spring

Today we took the photo's for our new Colours of Spring pattern.

There are 4 quilts in this pattern with a combination of hand, machine, English paper piecing, appliqué, and water colour with pencils and stitchery.

We had a couple of helpers of the 4 legged kind. The German Shepherd is one of the "Max's" of Max & Louise Pattern Co. And the other is Jasper the Jack Russell... the boss of course!

Here are some close ups...

We are very Happy that the "Spring Fling Day" for these quilts at Lilly Patches is booked out!

Looking forward to a lovely day with all the ladies who are coming to spend a great day with us.

The pattern will be available for these quilts after October 4th.

They will be a combination of hand, machine, English paper piecing, appliqué and wool.

Hope you enjoyed our photo's.

Thanks for visiting!!
