Our first shipment of Di Ford's new book
Primarily Quilts..2 ~ It's all about the fabric is due to arrive at Threadbear next week!! Congratulations Di, we can't wait to see it! From the preview pages it looks every bit as gorgeous, perhaps even more so, than the first
Primarily Quilts book. So for all of you who made a start on one of Di's fabulous new quilts in class with her last year, we know you'll be keen to get your hands on a copy of
Primarily Quilts..2. If you have already pre-ordered the book with us, we'll be in contact with you just as soon as it arrives. In the meantime, take a look at some of the treats in store!

With Corliss'
English Basket Quilt pattern made by Heleni van Til In the current QuiltMania magazine issue 118, we've had a surge of new interest in the the pattern and
fabric starter packs. Some of our lovely New Zealand customers should be receiving theirs this week, but we did take the opportunity to cut extra packs for the shop. The pack comprises 50 fat sixteenths in the colours and style of prints Corliss used when she made the quilt in 2010. The starter pack will get you a good way into the applique and piecing and makes it easy to add in other fabrics as you go.

The Autumn weather is finally showing signs of cooling down a little here in Castlemaine, and our thoughts can turn to cosy evenings sewing by the fire, and snuggling under quilts for a lazy Sunday afternoon nap. With
Auntie Tess now completed, Corliss is writing up the pattern and hatching new ideas for her next big project. Meanwhile, Megan is finally sewing again after 12 months of doing not much at all in the evenings after work! Speaking of which, Sam has been flat out this week doing not much at all.. before, during, and after work! Here's hoping you don't have too much that you
have to do this weekend and find plenty of time to rest and stitch. Have a great weekend everyone!
I'm surprised, my English Basket Quilt on your blog. Thank you very much. A wunderful picture.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that so much interesting is for the pattern.
I wish you a lot of success.
Heleni
I thought I would hop over the pond this evening and look at all of your wonderful, lovely fabrics and see Sammy's sweet, sweet face. My visit was everything I knew it would be!!
