Saffron Craig Large Field Quilt.

Here is the full, finished Large Field Quilt I made out of the Saffron Craig birds and trees fabrics and blogged about in the last post.

Close up, you can see the quilting and a bit of the back - love this 2 inch black and white stripe, and it shows up the quilting a treat!

I made up a couple of kits for the quilt - one using exactly the fabrics in the one I made, and the other with the Magical Lands collection.

Both will make up beautiful quilts. (Contact me if you would like to get one for the lovely price of $112!)

I used Leesa Chandler's pattern, Southern Jewels, thinking that the large fields of fabric would work well for Saffron's fabrics too.

Here it is in Leesa's Under the Australian Sun Fabrics that it was originally designed for. this quilt was made by Juliet and was one of the quilts hung in the Maleny Quota Quilt Show a couple of weekends ago.

I had a retail stand at the quilt show and it was really nice saying hello to everyone and looking at the quilts. There were some beauties there.

I want to share a few pics of finished quilts from some of the classes I've blogged about. It's so nice to see the end product of a workshop!The first ones were made in the Stained Glass Stack and Slash workshop

Christine's

Zita's

Val's

Jenny's - this was her first go at machine quilting, and what a star she turned out to be!

There were also a couple of French Braids:

and let's finish with understated elegance,

Sue's.

Plenty more happening and ready to be blogged about.

Have a good week and happy stitching,

Ann ♥

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone!

Wishing you all a happy and productive Easter break...

And if you don't celebrate Easter, just have a lovely weekend.

I'm taking some time off from the shop for reflection and relaxation today, Sunday and Monday.

But you can rest assured I'll be finishing off some projects for the annual Maleny Quota Quilt Show on Labour Day Weekend.

I just finished a throw made from Saffron Craig Tree Bird fabrics (my new

quilt it feels so cottony soft).

Tricia used a cute swirly bird pattern to quilt it with too, and it looks great on the striped back.

The Sudoku and Katagami quilts are about to be bound. That's what's on the agenda over the next couple of days.

I signed up for The Naked Bed Challenge - you can see the button in my right sidebar - started on Sarah Fielke's blog. Sounds fun, but so little time... pop over to see how many people are doing it, and join up as well!

We're going to Brisbane on Sunday and staying overnight in a luxury hotel for a little bit of indulgence.

I've just bought a new camera, so will be posting more pictures, and better in the future. Something went wrong with the focus and lens in the last one.

Have fun - you could even grab a bargain Moda precut in quiltopia!design eBay Store sale till next Friday 29 April.
