The Strip Scramble Quilt: Easy Quilting Tutorial with Rob Appell of Mans...

This looks great for those theme fabrics you're not sure what to do with.

Life lately...

Enjoying a little of this

And working on a baby quilt for my daughter's friend.

And of course the day job keeps me going flat tack.

Anzac Day 2015 - A Day of Remembrance

ANZAC Day Dawn Service, Kings Park, Perth Western Australia

"They went with songs to the battle, they were young.

Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,

They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;

They sit no more at familiar tables of home;

They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;

They sleep beyond England's foam."

Excerpt from For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon

We will not forget there is no freedom without sacrifice.

Santa's Rising Sun Quilt by Victoriana Quilting Designs

The image above has been available as a jigsaw puzzle for many years.

Recently, I came across a post at Victoriana Quilting Designs featuring this quilt.

It appears there was Facebook interest in the block and Benita at VQD 

did some investigating and found that it was similar to a rising sun block. 

Benita has drafted a pattern and written a lovely tutorial so we

can all make "Santa's Rising Sun" quilt. Please pop over and

take a look, and also enjoy all the other lovely things at this site.

This quilt is being added to my already too-long bucket list.

No sewing going on... lots of the day job...

Hopefully needle in hand over the Easter break.

The Modern Quilter of 1933

This beauty was made by Edith Morrow Matthews for the 

1933 World's Fair - Sears competition.

I found it on The Quilt Index here, 

but you will also find it here.

I think it's totally awesome and very in the

spirit of the modern quilts we are seeing today.

You've all probably seen it already,

but it's new to me.

(I'll show you my sewing soon.)
