I occasionally helped out in the shop, helped with the class and requirements list, and eventually joined the inner sanctum as a friend welcome in her home. Any time spent with Di was always happy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Di always welcomed friends into her home, but not very often did she celebrate her own milestones. However, in 2011, Di and Brian invited us to their home to celebrate Di's 60th birthday, well sort of. We should have guessed that something was afoot (Barbara did) as Di always played down her birthdays. In fact Di and Brian were to be married, and we were all surprised and honoured to be a part of their very special day. How gloriously happy everyone was that day!! I don't think they were ever apart after that!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1uAqxb6nn-PH3OvWwPc2ORZpAodxzkKflbs6yGif72fSKpuQsJ79FX8bxj5An9JKXaaxX2_xaMgHP0h3RwcfveWAqUDcl8bbeqH1GrunfYx-BoPYam3hm9Ul262cb-IjhfIdgfG2TtBkl/s320/IMG_5990.jpeg" /></div>Brian spent every day of Di's hospital visits, either as a day patient or an inpatient, by her side. That's no mean feat when you live about 70km from the hospitals, and we never heard a grumble from him. My sewing friends and I tried to visit as often as we could, but with the tyranny of Covid, that was a hard road to navigate. We discovered that Di hated the evenings in the hospital, as Brian had gone home by then to tend to his chores and feed the animals, so Merri and Deb came up with a plan that one at a time we would keep Di company every evening until she fell asleep. They were special time; sometimes we would chatter about god knows what, other times we'd watch TV together, and sometimes we'd just sit. It was an honour to be able to help our dear friend in whatever ways we could.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">At the time of Di's death there were a couple of her quilts that lay unfinished, so with Brian's blessing, my gorgeous sewing friends and I completed them for her: "Chesapeake" and "Windermere". What an honour!! Luckily for us we had been with Di as she designed and talked about these quilts; there were no patterns to guide us, just a few squiggly drawings, but we'd listened long and hard and felt we knew exactly what Di would wish for. "Chesapeake" was "almost" done; just needed a dozen or so blocks and a border print to finish it off.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT88BWyds7faWOS_wLvYlqcJNo125DAurCMVf-xoBNm_v-ZQxVHc4kv8F4PtAzxRgh-XEPAZWkqjE4o_XhOFOTnjvdBhzZykn84aemK6DXR5XS4W3jVcTWjOJ5_LDix1s4bT4mqqrmedAv/s2048/IMG_5565.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT88BWyds7faWOS_wLvYlqcJNo125DAurCMVf-xoBNm_v-ZQxVHc4kv8F4PtAzxRgh-XEPAZWkqjE4o_XhOFOTnjvdBhzZykn84aemK6DXR5XS4W3jVcTWjOJ5_LDix1s4bT4mqqrmedAv/s320/IMG_5565.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>"Windermere" was a bit more of a challenge, as Di had completed the centre panel and only sixteen of the surrounding forty blocks. To be fair, Ann and Merri had already completed their versions of "Windermere" and many of us had started making endless hexagon flowers so we knew what was involved, but of course we all wanted to make sure our stitches were up to Di's impeccable standards; near enough just wouldn't do. As quilt makers we all know, of course, that there is more than just blocks; there are sashings, corner stones, borders, backing and bindings. So many decisions still lay ahead of us, so we asked the person who knew Di and her quilts best, Brian. He really had paid attention on all those shopping expeditions, conventions and shows, and he knew exactly what was required! With our new found advice, "Windermere" was up and running again and finally ready to be quilted. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3GrYh_pjMbynezsrwGT3BwZ-OQ60S8p7ps-E_aUizku_HRqy3-MSpCWtBd273SthM4ZHzA467U4dn5JCU-e2rj4wSPMmDIJT-6NeS0eEheKV2il8Zeh6fpC2afNrlbAAE7E3EF62vim7-/s2048/IMG_5570.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3GrYh_pjMbynezsrwGT3BwZ-OQ60S8p7ps-E_aUizku_HRqy3-MSpCWtBd273SthM4ZHzA467U4dn5JCU-e2rj4wSPMmDIJT-6NeS0eEheKV2il8Zeh6fpC2afNrlbAAE7E3EF62vim7-/w150-h200/IMG_5570.jpeg" width="150" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2XS7K66qbgSIW9UeFeY-0jSulghN-7cR-QC6OVjHz0bLqZQTlm95PBdDSjk-Ma6TSGXrggCPhyhLc0zHQPLtqGNyv5kX5N-8gMICJHD-x_sdu_nBi81hteLgrHvkuBmOHwZtmk2d4FXRm/s2048/IMG_5572+2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1314" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2XS7K66qbgSIW9UeFeY-0jSulghN-7cR-QC6OVjHz0bLqZQTlm95PBdDSjk-Ma6TSGXrggCPhyhLc0zHQPLtqGNyv5kX5N-8gMICJHD-x_sdu_nBi81hteLgrHvkuBmOHwZtmk2d4FXRm/s320/IMG_5572+2.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>The very talented Helen Hayes has been quilting Di's quilts for many years, so of course it was to her that both "Chesapeake" and "Windermere" were sent for magic to be done. Di always put a lot of energy and thought into the design of her quilts, and Helen knows exactly how to apply the final polish. Di and Brian were a match made in heaven, and I think the match of Di and Helen is just as heavenly.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It has been an absolute honour, delight and pleasure to be able to complete these two magnificent quilts with my friends for our mentor and great friend Di, her beloved husband Brian and her family.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today I am going to have lunch, and sew a stitch or two, with my sewing friends, and celebrate that we able to share in the life of a generous and courageous woman.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I don't want to be sad, although I'll probably shed a few tears; I want to be thankful that I am one of the lucky people who shared such a fulfilling, (and sometimes expensive passion) with Di, and that through her I have some much cherished friendships (you know who you are!!)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF-Q3OkULL93cd2lMfieGdIFhx80wueg7SKEeqYxg2trqQwsyjmBCYkmNmdlfARVjx7p73gvr4P2DE7V7cIjjlWFPvivI1N6F-d9uz4_UUS2SpZAhriowmP_4lqoQcI0vJq4-6smDQbwck/s1440/AF72B2E3-D3B3-41D3-BDEB-0F355A9DE9D3.TIF" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF-Q3OkULL93cd2lMfieGdIFhx80wueg7SKEeqYxg2trqQwsyjmBCYkmNmdlfARVjx7p73gvr4P2DE7V7cIjjlWFPvivI1N6F-d9uz4_UUS2SpZAhriowmP_4lqoQcI0vJq4-6smDQbwck/s320/AF72B2E3-D3B3-41D3-BDEB-0F355A9DE9D3.TIF" /></a></div><br /></div></div><br /><br /><p></p>Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08904878956402046340noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5535914773682703426.post-35442227059342445662019-09-22T22:07:00.000+10:002019-09-22T22:07:41.489+10:00The "Sisters" are back

back, well at least for occasional postings. I am Clare Cross, one of the Secret Sewing Sisters, and </span>thought you might like to see what we occasionally get up to. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I make absolutely no promises that there will be frequent or regular postings. </span></div>

Paterson would have said. There have been many new quilts; some finished,
others not, several overseas trips for individual members to quilt shows in
Europe and the States, quite a few new fabric lines from Di, a collaborative
book between us and Quiltmania, a very unwell Di (who seems to be making a
healthy recovery), and a trip earlier this year to France and The Netherlands
for several members to attend and represent ourselves at quilt exhibitions, “Pour
L’Amour du Fils” in Nantes, France, and “The Secret Sewing Sisters Quiltmania
Tour” in Amersfoort, The Netherlands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

has been a HUGE year for The Sisters. Firstly, our gorgeous Di was diagnosed
with a nasty illness that has kept her out of the public eye, (she’s now so
much better, and hoping to make an appearance again very soon) so </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">we suspended regular
sewing days in order that Di did not miss out on our get togethers. We are all still

booked flights and accommodation, and off we went. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

solo in Paris and the Normandy coast, Sue and her husband David, on their very

front and the back, although our gorgeous sister Ann always tries to go for
“WOW” rather than correlation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We certainly had the most wonderful time away together. We shared some wonderful times and meals together, and loved exploring both Nantes and Amersfoort. The only dampener on the trip was that our friend Di was unable to join us; she was holed up in hospital for the whole of our time away. The BEST news though, is that Di is feeling so much better, and very keen to get on and make some more quilts.</div>

Except it is not that big and will never challenge either of the movies for box office receipts!<br />
<br />
The background to The Big Reveal: Early 2014, Ann set the Sisters a challenge to make a quilt based on the book, Chintz Quilts From the Poos Collection by Kay & Lori Lee Triplett and Xenia Cord, published by Quiltmania in2013. We were given 2 years to choose a quilt, draft a pattern and get sewing. <br />
<br />
You would expect that is plenty of time to complete the challenge, right? Well let's just say that there are various stages of finish achieved. The Big Reveal started with those who had begun the challenge and ended with those who had completed their quilt. <br />
<br />
Apologies to Clare who was absent on the day of the reveal. I know she has been working hard on her challenge, despite the being hampered by a frozen shoulder. And to Di as I didn't take any photos on my iPad, I used Di's iPad and that is where they still are.<br />
<br />
First up was Deb. Deb has sourced a stunning piece of vintage fabric as the centre for her quilt - Peacock Centre Medallion on page 100 - but that is as far as it got. We all have a serious case of fabric envy!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next to show her completed quilt top was Merri. This beauty can be found on page 262 and is titled Eight Petal Flower Centre Medallion with Basket Border - such literal description! Merri has created a fabulous quilt top, raiding her (and others) stash for lots of stripes and plaids in an effort to stay as faithful to the original as she could.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
My challenge quilt is also at the completed top stage. I chose Peacock Feather and Rose bouquet Diamond in a Square on page 164 as my inspiration and spent hours/days cutting out and playing with fabric to create the broderie perse designs.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ann presented an absolutely stunning interpretation of the Chinoiserie Centre Medallion with Hand Coloured Chintz Border from page 96. Ann loves colour and this completed quilt just sings from its crazy Toucan centre fabric to the big blowsy broderie perse flowers to the shot cottons used in the pieced borders. </div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And the final quilt of the reveal was Sue's because out of us all, only Sue hand-pieced and hand-quilted her challenge. Like Deb, Sue chose the Peacock Centre Medallion quilt from page 100 as her challenge. The selection and placement of fabrics makes Sue's quilt looks like it stepped right out of the pages of the book. For her centre medallion Sue has used broderie perse to create her own gorgeous peacock medallion. The completed quilts is an absolute tour de force of hand work.</div>

I hope you have enjoyed The Big Reveal as this will be the last post on the Secret Sewing Sisterhood blog. After 7 years it is time to move on.</div>

On behalf of the Sisters I would like to stay a very big thank you for all of the wonderful support and comments that have been posted over this time. We love patchwork and quilting and will continue sewing on the first Thursday and third Saturday of the month as we have done for over a decade now. For those that are interested in seeing what we are working on I will post the occasional photo on Instagram at mim_leslie.</div>

Happy stitching to you all,</div>

<br />
It was Thursday sewing today and while I do not have any finished quilts to show there is progress being made on several fronts, most notably by Di as she endeavours to meet deadlines for new quilts using her beautiful new fabric range for Andover Fabrics - Cloverdale House. Here is a sneak peak of 2 quilts that I believe are Andover / Houston bound. <br />
<br />
First up a 'strippy' quilt, still in pieces but coming along nicely. The finished quilt will have 3 columns of pieced blocks separated by the serpentine print in teal with a border of the teal column print.<br />
<br />

<br />
The second quilt will have a broderie perse centre medallion cut from the cream column print. This will have borders and lots of half square triangles added before it is finished.<br />

And the third quilt Di has underway will make its debut at classes being held at Mary Koval's Quilt Shop in Bedford, PA following Houston. The centre is a very large broderie perse medallion made from Mary's Palampore. The photo is all out of proportion but I can guarantee that it is beautiful. <br />
<br />
Di has taken the scissors to the Palampore and completely deconstructed (a posh word for cut it into pieces) it before putting it back to gather again. The border of Caeser's Crown blocks is complete but not attached as yet. <br />

<br />
And what else was on the table today? Firstly some blocks from Barb's "Never Ending <strike>Story</strike> Quilt" aka the Burnt Quilt. Barb has been working on this for a long time now and some times thinks it will never be finished!<br />

Clare, despite a very sore shoulder, has been sewing lots and lots of 1/2 inch hexies for our Challenge Quilt. The challenge this time round is for each of the Sisters to reproduce a quilt from Kay and Lori Lee Triplett and Xenia Cord's gorgeous book for Quiltmania - 'Chintz Quilts from the Poos Collection'. Needless to say, some of us are more advanced than others. Reveal day is scheduled for our annual Christmas celebration visit to our lovely friends Corliss and Megan at <a href="http://www.threadbear.com.au/" target="_blank">Threadbear</a> in Castlemaine</div>

And to finish off this post, I have completed the centre for Pendle Hill by Di. This is an unfinished story (as opposed to never ending) as Di has not yet designed the next section of this quilt. No wonder given how busy she has been with the new fabric line. I have loved making this quilt so far and look forward to completing it some time in the future.<br />

I have completed the centre of Di's Pendle Hill. I am well on the way to completing the 56 pentagon flowers for the next border so hope to have more to show next time.<br />
<br />

<br />
And finally from Di, a sneak peak of a new quilt that uses the Palempore from Mary Koval. The centre medallion is complete and Di was sharing ideas with us for the next border. The second version was a unanimous choice.<br />

I have started a new quilt. A finished appliqué and broderie perse centre for a cot quilt I have been asked to make for a special friend of the family. I intend to complete this with rows of variable stars set on point.<br />

It has been a busy month since the last post from the Sisters so the following is a sampling of what we have all been up to over this time.</div>

First up, Houston. Di, along with Michelle Yeo and Carolyn Konig, were the featured quilters in an exhibition of Australian quilters and their work. The enthusiasm from all who came and viewed the quilts was overwhelming.</div>

Back home, and there have been two sewing days since our return. First up was Thursday at Sue's and look at what was waiting on the table for us when we arrived. Beautiful red roses from her garden and a luscious cake.<br />

<br />
Next was Saturday sewing at my home. Barbara brought along a finished giant nine patch quilt that she has made for a family member. It was made from fabrics raided from a few of the Sister's stashes and looks much better than this very poor photo indicates.<br />
<br />

<br />
Heading to Houston I wanted a portable hand piecing project so started this double wedding ring using mostly Petra and Nel's Dutch Heritage fabrics. There was very little sewing done while away but on the Saturday I managed to complete 2 melons. I think this quilt is going to take a long time to make.<br />

<br />
And finally, yesterday I picked this up from long arm quilter, Loreen Horsnell. The quilt top was finished late last year and was part of the Sister's challenge for 2013. Loreen has used a combination of feathers and in-the-ditch quilting and it looks lovely.The pattern is from Betsy Chutchian and Carol Staehle's book, History Repeated and uses the Carpenter's Wheel block.<br />

Merri brought along her completed Beamish Quilt (an obvious name as it is based on a quilt held in the collection at the Beamish Museum in the UK). It has been beautifully quilted by Katrina (<a href="http://katrinasquilting.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Katrina's Quilting</a>). <br />
<br />
And I am under instructions from Merri to comment on the fabric used in border 4. This was sourced in part from Kerry 's stash and partly from mine. We all agree it was an inspired choice and that it works well.<br />

So with renewed enthusiasm for blogging, here is a sample of what the Sisters have been working on since the last entry.<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyBIxCFkPzW7p95L_7UDu1VwOYGFyILsdwdHyH19IPiNX-TJl2UCSzFHChrzUg83L63vqcUgM_FtquBeeSoS5sF2mdUdX2W3Th1XvwbfGPuOJEkRIhGMu7XqoH3Zx5RwbqP_gKpeKJQIM/s1600/Clare's%2BUFO%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyBIxCFkPzW7p95L_7UDu1VwOYGFyILsdwdHyH19IPiNX-TJl2UCSzFHChrzUg83L63vqcUgM_FtquBeeSoS5sF2mdUdX2W3Th1XvwbfGPuOJEkRIhGMu7XqoH3Zx5RwbqP_gKpeKJQIM/s1600/Clare's%2BUFO%2B2.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
Clare began this quilt a long time ago - so long ago she could not remember when. It is now a completed top and ready for quilting. The centre blocks were designed by Di and Clare has added her own touch with her designs for the borders. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Deb has begun something new and is using an antique quilt for the inspiration. I think this is going to be a four block quilt with borders. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
And Merri has cut out the first of the blocks of a new project (using a pattern from an old McCall's magazine). She was asking if the colours worked. I think the answer is a resounding yes. The background is a beautiful dark teal from Mary Koval's blenders. Methinks this is going to be rather luscious when finished.</div>

<br />
Merri was sewing the binding on Civil War Bride (pattern by Corliss Searcy). <br />

<br />
Ann was also sewing a binding on, "Clamshells" is a colourful quilt, but the backing is - well what can one say - very bold!<br />
<br />

It doesn't stop us from sewing though and the third Saturday of January saw the Sisters travel to Barwon Heads for a day beside the seaside at Clare's family beach house. There were old projects and new being worked on.<br />

Our 2013 finished with a truly delightful day as the Sisters were joined by friends Anne and Barb and travelled to Castlemaine where we had an early Christmas celebration with Corliss, Megan and Annabelle at Threadbear. Officially the shop was closed but tucked away in the classroom at the back, we joined together for a day of sewing, talking, laughter and lots of eating. <br />
<br />
It was also the day of the big reveal. Inspired by Kim and her sewing group over on <a href="http://threadheadsunite.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/pete-and-repeat.html" target="_blank">Threadheads Unite,</a> the Sisters and friends decided to accept the challenge from Ann and make a quilt in secret from History Repeated.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR-pUuGwpJM3EQ_yIiGaaZZGYGWEhFg3xSu4kAbVzJ9YXc2jBcm5h_1ZWsV9LxUaetfOkkau7h6li68-8Us0r0LTSi7pDeVULOoLMisWxpBJTEAgd555yDMo-ELJ2ibBr8hbQkomdzmH0/s1600/PC215676.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR-pUuGwpJM3EQ_yIiGaaZZGYGWEhFg3xSu4kAbVzJ9YXc2jBcm5h_1ZWsV9LxUaetfOkkau7h6li68-8Us0r0LTSi7pDeVULOoLMisWxpBJTEAgd555yDMo-ELJ2ibBr8hbQkomdzmH0/s320/PC215676.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Now some of the Sisters were very productive and arrived with completed quilts, most notably Sue who had not only hand-pieced but also hand quilted her version of the hourglass quilt.<br />

Not content with making us work hard through the year, Ann has come up with next year's challenge. How about a little something from the Poos Collection? As this challenge is a little more, well challenging, we have decided to allow ourselves two years to complete the quilt. Hmm, I wonder who will be the over achievers on this?</div>

Di was fresh off a plane, having just returned from Houston. She was full of stories and chat about her very busy days there. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And it is so nice to have Clare joining us on Saturdays now. Her boys are rapidly growing up and the need for Clare's taxi service on the weekend is diminishing so there is more free time for sewing. Lucky us!</div>

There was lots of show and tell - Merri has been very busy. First up, another border has been added to the Beamish quilt. And there was lots of discussion about the next (and final) border from a size and colour perspective. This is going to be a gorgeous quilt when finished.</div>

And it didn't stop there! Back in 2010 the Sisters made the raffle quilt for Quilts in the Barn. We called it the Sister's Peony Quilt - are they peonies or lilies? Does it really matter! Anyway, Merri has nearly finished making her own version of this beautiful quilt, just the outer border to go.<br />

Clare brought out her now finished 19th century nine patch. I am not going to say how long this has been in the UFO pile. but just maybe the end product has been worth waiting for!!<br />

And Ann bowled us all over with her stunning clamshell quilt. This is just glorious to see in the flesh - so to speak. The clamshells (sorry Ann I cannot remember the exact number but know it is more than 1500) are full of colour and set off the aubergine background fabric and borders beautifully. And as you can tell from the photo - it is a big quilt! No-one was tall enough to hold it up high enough for me to get a full view of it so apologies for the poor photo.<br />

And last, but definitely not least, Deb's completed Phebe. Back from Helen Hayes who has yet again done an outstanding job on the quilting. What can I say about this quilt? I love it and need to stop drooling over Deb's quilt and get busy and make my own version.<br />

And me, well now that the top for Mrs Miller is finally completed, I have started a new project. This is block number one (of four) for the Feather with Flowers quilt from Fons & Porters book, Quilts from the Henry Ford. This quilt is for my niece, she wanted something in purple and red, a colour scheme that is a little challenging to say the least. I can assure you that if you were to actually see this block it would not have the 'glow in the dark' look of the photo. <br />

Now, as we all know "life" does not often go as planned.....and, well, blogging is a bit like that too! <br />
It has been a bit of a long "gap" between drinks, but here we are back again! With a bit of a long post!<br />
Hopefully, you will enjoy this......bits gathered from all over!<br />
In July the SSS had a sit and sew at my place.......I baked a cake! .<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieksqo19Gu6MiwsqUyLojBqbaTAQDapYrZKTN-eX21QczJEqF38riIAZOiptd6ZCLcDNm_RhcpWGr029E_EcmJvaflf1IlDuIoXppTdrIp9QU7v9Bo5SIQu-XZiZQ_f6l8HphKws9Y4kpa/s1600/P7204726.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieksqo19Gu6MiwsqUyLojBqbaTAQDapYrZKTN-eX21QczJEqF38riIAZOiptd6ZCLcDNm_RhcpWGr029E_EcmJvaflf1IlDuIoXppTdrIp9QU7v9Bo5SIQu-XZiZQ_f6l8HphKws9Y4kpa/s200/P7204726.JPG" width="200" /></a>..........now some may say .."so what?"<br />
others, who actually know me will say "WOW!!!".............'cause I am no cake-baker!!!. But it has become a bit of a tradition at SSS get-togethers that a cake is produced. So, I went out and purchased the "new" Women's Weekly cake cook book, tested the "caramalised apple blondie" cake which worked out quite well (plan "B" was the flourless orange cake from Coles up the road!)<br />
Then, cleared the table for the Sisters arrival..........<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCBYSF8XpurLbVWDBMJchn38_enuHwOxeMJL5Dp48mMhf607UKnnQs6_CfhptXlEpcfeoAlI5QX2zZr6oRPZ0WyOjV0lQjCJvuiBhxpyp1633HF1SMXow_z5dqY0FaWqUVYHByobZHVrGj/s1600/P7204727.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCBYSF8XpurLbVWDBMJchn38_enuHwOxeMJL5Dp48mMhf607UKnnQs6_CfhptXlEpcfeoAlI5QX2zZr6oRPZ0WyOjV0lQjCJvuiBhxpyp1633HF1SMXow_z5dqY0FaWqUVYHByobZHVrGj/s200/P7204727.JPG" width="200" /></a>one of them was delivering a quilt to my house (being picked up later for display at the recent quilt and craft show at Jeff's Shed) that had been a "secret" for so long........a well kept secret that 21 Quilters from all over Victoria had kept. This Baltimore style quilt named "Espirit De Corps" is a very special quilt made to raise awareness of, and funds for, The Caroline Chisolm Society in Victoria. If you see it, please purchase a "pledge" (they are $20 each) as ALL funds will go to helping out women and children who find themselves in desperate situations and can rely on the help of The Caroline Chisolm organization.<br />
I had a bit of a problem getting a decent pic, (you know, short person, small ladder!) but this will give you an idea of how it looks and shows the label with the names of those who helped produce it.<br />

O.K! .....the Sisters are all at my place and we have a bit of "show and tell" <br />
Now, recently we all attended another fantastic CAG (Castlemaine Applique Group) meeting, so some of these pictures are not at my place, but were when we all got together at my place!........now, is that as clear as mud!?"........................Oh! ..........I'll just let the pictures do the TALKING!<br />

It was a glorious Melbourne Autumn day when the Sisters gathered at Ann's place for a bit of stitching.....we missed you Clare, Sue and Di.<br />

If you haven't guessed by the long break between posts, I have been on holiday (in France). Home now for just over a day, it is time to gather my thoughts and write about the main reason I was swanning around overseas - Di's official book release at Quiltmania's Pour L'Amour du Fil in Nantes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Pour L'Amour is a combination of an exposition and an outstanding market place where you can buy all things relating to thread - fabric, wool, embroidery etc etc. The exposition is by invitation, and this year more than 20 artists and designers were there.<br />
<br />
Along with Di, there was Kaffe Fasset and Brandon Mably, Petra Prins, Polly Minick and Laurie Simpson to name some of the more recognisable. Each had their own 'salon' where their quilts were displayed as if in room(s) of a house.<br />

From the moment the Expo opened, Di's salon was crowded, and apart from some quiet moments late in the afternoon, this is how it was each and every day.<br />

Over the 4 days at Nantes, Di spent every moment, apart from 3 hours on two days when she was teaching, signing books.

It was the most wonderful time. I was so fortunate to be there. It was a privilege to share the time with Di and to witness the reaction of folk seeing Di's quilts for the first time.<br />
<br />
I count my blessings every day that I wandered into Primarily Patchwork one Saturday morning, enrolled in a class with Di, and now some 9 years later have had my life enriched by friendships that will last forever.<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

<br />
...a photo of the cover design. <br />
<br />
Many of us took our first tentative steps to becoming a quilter under Di's kind and caring tutelage at her shop (Primarily Patchwork) in Canterbury and will instantly recognise the reference to that wonderful, but now sadly closed, haven in the title. It was there that many of us met and where many lifetime friendships have been formed.<br />
<br />
If the cover photo is any indication, then I think this is going to be a most beautiful addition to my collection of quilting books. <br />
<br />
Congratulations Di,<br />

This post is meant to be all about our 3rd Saturday of the month sewing day. The gathering for this month was at Deb's. Everyone was very industrious but....sorry no photos. I forgot to take my camera! (I am blaming the hot weather for my frazzled state of mind). </div>
<br />
So, forgive me SSS for being a little self indulgent. Instead of show and tell pictures from Saturday, I am filling the gap with the project I have been working on for the past few months, well years actually. I have regained enthusiasm for this project again and began working steadily towards completing it last August. I have posted some bits in the past but thought you might like to see what has been completed to date. <br />
<br />
The design is by Liz Willing, it is called Mrs Miller's Journey and I have finished....<br />
<br />
