Row by Row

My much loved and anticipated row by row


Piecing the borders

While I had the Baltimore Beauties quilt underway I also finished a long term project - my much loved row by row, this quilt started as a challenge quilt with my scquilters group. But I was the only one who took it up and ran with it, it has been in production for some years and has been a labour of love.
As I finish this quilt, with lots of water under the bridge, it brings back memories for me, so even tho it is a unique quilt in its own right it has proven to be a journey for me as well.
I have had many opportunities to bring this quilt out for show and tell on many occasions. Joyfully showing the detail off and always getting positive feedback. To the point that some dear ladies have shown enough interest for me to run this as a class.
So it will most likely be offered this year as an entire project or a choice of a row or two, this is entirely up to the participants. Stay tuned here for what shop in Sydney it will be offered.
And finally, here is a pic of my new filly, Rylo Park Pandora, my dear little girl, who is smart and
sassy and is going to be a whole lot of fun.

I feel so bad for not posting



New Year come and gone and I have not posted for so long. I have been fairly busy tho so I can start to share some of my creative pursuits here now.

One very exciting bit of news is that I have been booked to do the Baltimore Beauties workshop in Harden NSW, at the Quilters Stash. Proprietor Sue Chesworth was very enthusiastic about my Baltimore sampler quilt and could not wait to confirm the class for 2011.

I will post the dates and the class schedule here soon. The picture is a eq6 version of the quilt and a fair representation. I will have a pic of the actual quilt up soon, just have a few things to tweek on it and then it will be ready.
