January 2019

While Lou and her family were still holidaying in the USA, Lisa was creating with our Yarra Valley fabrics (together with some Nicholson Street shirtings and some fabrics from her stash).
 

Maree of Maree St Clair Quilts has made templates of our Andover free pattern Yarra River.

She sent us a set to play with...

 And our friend Jenny (Instagram: tossed_but_not_sunk), was starting on a new quilt. She makes stunning quilts using reproduction fabrics and others with original old fabrics.  This block has a cheddar from Yarra Valley and a shirting from Nicholson Street.  You can see more of what Jenny is up to on her Instagram page.

Meanwhile back in New York City Lou had a couple of meetings at Andover Fabrics.  More fun than work, Lou was seeing how fabric is created behind the scenes. It was fascinating.  Next time we will be there together!  This is the elevator door to Andover. So special it was worth a photo!

See you soon for Feb's catch up.

October 2018

Look at this. 2 posts in 2 days!  And we have to tell you we had one of those "Doh!" moments today. Lou's eldest daughter Jordon asked why we didn't use the Blogger app to do posts???????  Well of course a millennial who works in media would state the obvious!!!😏

October 2018 was a dream month for us.  Our second fabric range, Yarra Valley, was to be promoted at Quilt Market in Houston and Lisa went to represent us.  

We had quilts on the Andover stall too..... this really is the stuff we dream about....

 Facing a crowd of shop owners & industry professionals Lisa spoke at School House.  The feedback from friends was fantastic! Those that know Lisa can attest to how great she is at public speaking.

 This is a waterfall of our Nicholson Street shirtings & the storyboard for range 2, Yarra Valley.

 With great friends Betsy Chutchian, Lisa and Michelle Yeo.



And now some favourite road trip pics with Sue Holbrook

 Isn't this just such a great barn?

 Pumpkins!

 And of course, no road trip is complete without antique quilts.

Thanks for recapping October 2018 with us...
