After 10 years quilting and designing in our Hampton Park home it's time to say goodbye. Just to the home, not to the quilting. Brendan and I have sold our home of 25 years and are ready for the next phase of our lives as we will be building our new little dream home in the quant little town of Mirboo North in the gorgeous Strezleki Ranges. For the next 12 months while our builder is hard at work we will be moving to Pakenham. I'm looking forward to welcoming you all back in 2021 when my machine (Ethel) is all set up and we are ready to start quilting again. Hopefully by the end of January.
Happy new year and stay safe.

Welcome to week three of my i-sew-lation quilt along. This week is a little different. A PDF and a link was requested for the pattern. So I got learning, made PDF's for each of the blocks and uploaded them to my poor old previously neglected website. So now you can just click on the link below to get this weeks and the last two weeks PDFs for all the blocks. This weeks PDF includes piecing the quilt body. Next week we will look at adding perfect borders to finish off the quilt top.
Happy Stitching.

Don't have backing for your quilt top? Having trouble finding backings for your projects with some shops shut? Ask me about our stock backings and also batting. You can still get your projects finished and have a sense of achievement. Something that is very important for looking after your mental health while isolated.

Hay lovely quilting family. Welcome to my 2020 I-sew-lation quilt along. Over the past few weeks I designed this quilt to help keep us busy at home, use some of our stash and lift our spirits. Over the next month each Saturday I will post details on how to create the three blocks contained in the quilt, then piecing and borders. The finished quilt will be 62 x 62 inches square.
This quilt is inspired by Van Gogh's starry night and Sunflowers. It's called Sunflowers are still yellow at night.
To remind us that although life is upside down at the moment some things will always be the same. Sunflowers are still yellow and you are still loved.
I would love to see you all dive into your stash to create the quilt rather than go shopping. After all, it is an I-sew-lation quilt. You could go scrappy just remember to make sure that the contrast in fabrics is true to the pattern.
You will need the following materials
All fabrics are by width of fabric 112cm
70cm Fuchsia pink and purple
80cm yellow
100cm mid blue
100cm dark blue
50cm green
I'm using batiks purchased on my trip to Bali last year.
Please join me. Post your photos in the comments and ask questions if you get stuck.
Instructions are in the comments section for each photo.
