Journal Workshop

This weekend I am teaching my Journal Workshop at The Quilt Patch - St John Street in Launceston (http://thequiltpatch.blogspot.com/)... I am really looking forward to seeing all the creations

.... this Journal you see here is one I made for my workshop at Cranberry Crafts in Ulverstone (http://cranberrycrafts.com.au/) - this is happening soon.



This is the front view - but it is on it's side - lol!








Last night I took the final lot of Vic Bush Fire Quilts back to Unique Stitchers ... I am just amazed at how giving quilters can be. And it is such a good cause if you have been reading Christina's blog ...http://ozcomfortquilts.blogspot.com/

And I am missing the beach today - I would dearly love to go out to the beach for a few days ...but alas ... work beckons!



So Happy Quilting for now .... Cheers Jane

Launceston Patchwork & Quilters Raffle Quilt

I forgot about Blogger doing it backwards for pictures. So this is the back view of the LPQ raffle quilt. I custom quilted it so there was simple quilting in the centre but the houses looked like they were made from brick or wood and the background was like swirly air, with smoke from the chimneys.

The girls from LPQ were pretty happy with it - now the binding is to be done and tickets will soon be available.


Everyone wants to win this quilt - it is beautiful. The piecing is precise and the colour scheme looks great. I will have to buy a few tickets myself. I think the draw is during the September Launceston Patchwork & Quilting Exhibition - I can't wait.









And I have finally finished the Vic Fire Refief quilts for Unique Stitches - hopefully I can deliver them tonight for the ladies to bind. The great thing is that there have been mammoth efforts all over Australia by individuals and groups all making quilts to comfort. How wonderful is that.
Happy Quilting for now ... Jane
