Thank You Sunny



I am so excited...I am over the moon...Look what the postman has just brought me...This is a fabric swap that I have just exchanged with Sunny at Quilting Dreams.


We discovered we both were working with similar coloured fabrics and because of the amount we need ( I am doing 3/4 inch Hexie flowers and Sunny 1/2 inch Hexies ) we agreed to swap some fabric to increase our variety of flowers. I am hoping to do everyone different.


Thank you so much Sunny...it was all beautiful....Now my garden will have some home grown American flowers,...Wow !!!!


At the moment I have 140 flowers made....I have 2 ideas in mind that I am working towards.If I do a lap quilt I will need approx 255 BUT if I continue on to a Queen size I will need approx 575...Hmm....It has taken me 12 months to make the 140.....Thoughts please..


Again a very big thank you to Sunny ...

Take care

One Flower Wednesday

Greetings from a very cold and wet Melbourne,where they tell us it is the coldest that it has been for 20 years...Brrrr,,winter has arrived early...(love it...more sewing time !!!)



On that cheery note...I do hope that all the Mums had a lovely Mothers Day last Sunday and that you were spoilt by your family...


I have managed to get 5 new flowers made for my Garden this week... and will be popping round to see some other gardeners later...You too can visit by looking for Karen at Journey of a Quilter..Thank you Karen,,,,you do a great job...

One Flower Wednesday

I cannot believe a week as gone by since my last post...Where have those days gone to? Here we are again for One Flower Wednesday,,,The garden party kindly hosted by Karen at Journey of a Quilter.




I have had a busy week which meant less sewing time....and yes, like millions of others , I was glued to the TV for the Royal Wedding....(didn't Kate look stunning?)..Even though I had organised myself to sew whilst watching it ..nothing was done, as I did not want to miss a second.


This week I have managed to make 3 new flowers for my garden...This brings my total so far to 135....about 100 more to go...



These were from the new fabric that I showed you last week....


Soooooooo.....Just had to go for a drive today to visit my favorite patchwork shop...well I could not come out empty handed now could I...??? I will show you more next time...


Until then hope that you are all well and happy


Take care

Kate xx
