Tasmanian Quilt Guild Raffle Quilt


Earlier this year I custom quilted this lovely quilt for the Tasmanian Quilting Guild 2009 Island Quilts Raffle. It was made by the lovely girls up in Smithton (Tas) and quilted by me.

The Raffle Tickets are available for purchase now ... the quilt is quite big - Queen Sized - so a $2.00 will be very well spent for the person who wins it!

See the Guild Web site at www.tasquilting.org.au

Cheers for now...Jane

Dolls Dolls and more Dolls

This is my latest doll ... the one I will be teaching. She is called "Fleur" the Garden Faerie. I had a lot of Fun making her ... even down to the little shoes.













This blue faerie is Daowyn ... by Pattie Culea http://www.pmcdesigns.com/- I have been down to Hobart on a four day class with her .. I still have to do her shoulder cuffs, shoes and wrist cuffs ... but she is pretty cute too. Lots of embellishments with this one and I had to make all those bead creations as well! And I met some fantastic ladies at the Hobart Not Just Cloth Doll's Club ... I hope to go down again to see them sometime.












My darling husband has gone for 2.5 weeks ... off to Sydney for the Ulysses AGM. I wish I could have gone too this year ... but next year we are going to Albany in Western Australia.












And this is a cat fix .... Jet and Merlin in a paper bag. They just love bags and I have to make sure there are no plastic bags laying around when I am not in the house with them because they will just go and sit in them. Our big cat Shadow is finally coming around I think ... she has been nose to nose with Merlin a couple of times now without chucking a hissy fit... I live in hope!


So .... back to quilting again tomorrow ... keeping me busy with some Vic fire quilts as well.

Happy quilting until next time....Cheers Jane xx
