Top Secret


Haven't been able to post of late as everything I've been working on is a secret.
Every year our group has a challenge weekend and everyone makes a quilt bound by criteria set the previous year. This year two of the girls have asked me to machine-quilt their quilts so I have been working on these and my own challenge quilt.
My friend Sharon and I are also setting next years challenge but again Top Secret. All will be revealed next week.
The quilt above was our last challenge, I was given an envelope with a photo of the underside of a mushroom with the instructions "Use concentric circles" so I chose this quilt pattern from Carolyn Koenig and just love the finished quilt, it has real movement and showcases the reproduction fabrics.
Very excited about the weekend and will report back.

Show and Tell

Had a couple of my quilting friends around for lunch the other day and my girlfriend Lynelle had some wonderful show and tell. Her quilt was just back from the quilters and I just loved the fresh fabric and mix of geometric and floral fabrics.
Its been really cold in Sydney hence the fire.
