More Morris

Hi Friends
A completed Expression of Morris. This photo is without binding, however it is all done and now on the spare bed. I'm just needing help to take proper photo's.

Angus has given his paw approval of the new quilt

It is Spring now in Australia, which is lovely except the hay-fever has already hit with a vengeance which is bad sign of the season to come. And the start of Spring also means unsettled weather with great variances in temperature. 

I only had 3 tulips this year, but they were lovely. 

I'm really looking forward to my roses blooming

I decided needed a change of view and have started a new project and yes it's another Morris inspired quilt.

Adelaide Floral Sampler by Michele Hill

I bought this from Berrima Patchwork many years ago as a block of the month in the Black version.

I've already decided to make it a wall hanging and not one for the bed - you've seen Angus!!

So its having some minor adjustments to make it smaller

This is it - Adelaide Floral Sampler

Well that's all for today, thankyou for dropping by.
JulieAnn has been on a roll with her quilts - we'll have another catchup soon so I can share some photo's with you.

Also, if you'd like to comment I've had to place a "moderation email" thing on (hoping it works) as I was bombarded with Spam comments on many posts - fingers crossed I've deleted them all!! Such a shame these things, and these people try to ruin it for everyone.

Sunday Sewing

We were lucky enough to spend a few hours catching up and stitching on Sunday. How lovely it was to enjoy each other's company and not be in a rush. I took photo's of just a few of JulieAnn's works of the moment.
Enjoy...

Working on the borders for 5 Sisters Quilt a Susan Smith Design

Chapman Quilt, JulieAnn's second one! Another Susan Smith Design. 

That centre is amazing!

This Postage Stamp Quilt is a Gift!! And has now been sent off to the quilter

A beautiful quilt on JA's Hand Quilting pile.

Another Gift Quilt!! This one is for JulieAnn's eldest son who's a huge Hawks (Hawthorn) fan. This would be a super king size - it is huge and such an achievement. 

A lovely William Morris also on the Quilting pile.

I'm sure you'll agree JulieAnn's work is amazing - she is such a talented lady. We really need to document her work more often.

I continued on hand quilting Irish Circles

And making the most of the natural light in JulieAnn's Jane got a proper photo

Thankyou for dropping by today

Happy Stitching

Christmas is Upon Us

Hello Friends

It's hard to believe we are only weeks away from Christmas ~ where has the year gone!!

I hope you enjoy a little post of pretties

My precious Granddaughter; who is just Everything and fills my heart beyond words.

Sewing of a different kind; these fabrics are just beautiful and I had a lot of fun on these. Plus precious little Miss wearing an outfit.

This year I planted a new Rose Garden; it has been so wonderful to have these beauties to admire and smell.

One More off the List

Well its done! The top at least, however this means my quilting list is growing and several projects that are not quite Finished (our F word).

I hope you like my version of Mariners Madness, a Chris Jurd design. As you can see I didn't go with the smaller compasses in the corners, but am happy with the end result.

And I wanted to share with you William Morris Garden now hanging. This is my 4 Block version of Michele Hill's 9 Block design. I am so very happy with this one.

Friends

We enjoy reading everyone else’s blogs so thought we’d give it a go. We hope you enjoy our journey, some would say Obsession.

We met through patchwork just over 3 years ago; a friendship meant to be.

Our passion is Reproduction quilts & William Morris. We love to get away for workshops & classes, or just catch up over a glass of wine and talk about life, patchwork and our patchwork plans.  Life, however, has a habit of interferring with our plans.

On QWE we want to share our works on the go: between us that could be a little scary. And of course any that we finish...oops, that’s our “F” word!

Til next time
