Hand Quilt Along – 5/08/18

Happy Sunday everyone!

It’s that time of the month again when we share our progress on our hand quilt along. I’ve been working a lot on my EPP and I’m past half way, yay! I knew all that extra planning from last time would pay off. The top is now at full height as well, so it’s “just” a matter of filling in the space 🙂

Now, I’m hoping to get the better part of the quilt top done by next update, it might be a bit ambitious but I do have some spare time so fingers crossed!

Please don’t forget to check out the other amazing people working on their hand quilting. Bella is currently taking a break but you can still go check her blog 😉

Quilt show

Happy Friday!

I hope you’ve all had a great week! I have been to a quilt show last week and I wanted to share my favourite ones with you. The show was hosted at the Warratina Lavender farm, and they seem to be hosting quite a few craft exhibitions, which is great because they are only 20 min away from my house!

I just loved all the colours and how cool is that pokemon one? 😄 my favourite was actually the octopus garden one, on the right of the middle row. The appliqué work on it was so amazing! I’m looking forward to checking out more shows in the area, and maybe participate next year.

Have you entered a quilt show before? what was your experience? I’d love to know!

Hand Quilt Along – 1/04/18

Happy Easter everyone!

I hope you’ve had a great week, I’m sorry I’ve been off blogging for a little while. Hubby and I are on holidays and we’ve just been enjoying seeing family and friends.

Today though is our scheduled 3 weekly quilt along post and I am sharing my progress on my EPP blanket. I’ve had quite a bit of progress since last time but I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to share anything next time because I’m away from home again for work. So this will have to do for the next time as well!

Hand Quilt Along – 07/01/18

Happy Sunday readers!

It is time again to share my progress on my English Paper Piecing for the Hand Quilt Along hosted by Kathy every three weeks.

Due to Christmas and New Year (and my family being here) I actually didn’t get much progress this time

I did however, cover a lot of my templates with fabric, which does take quite a long time. This will have to do for progress this time!

I hope you guys had time to work a bit more of your HQAL than what I did!

Brisbane Craft and Quilt Fair

Happy Monday lovely readers!

Yesterday I had a great day at the Brisbane Craft and Quilt Fair. I was there all day, from 9:30 to 3:30! The show had lots of beautiful quilts on display, some were truly amazing! My favourite ones were the ones with all the Australian animals, they were so beautiful 😍

I also had the immense honour to meet the crochet designer Kerry Lord. She just released her newest crochet book last Friday, Edward’s Crochet Doll Emporium and I was able to buy it and get it signed!! I was fan-girling like crazy and I hope she didn’t think I was too weird 🙈 I did also manage to get a selfie with her 😎

I just can’t wait to be reunited with my stash to make a mini me and a mini Dylan (my husband).

I also started to buy some Christmas presents, one for my nana and one for my aunty and I also got a little something for myself! I bought myself a kit to learn Sashiko, a Japanese embroidery technique. I also got to take a class on the day and it was super awesome!

How cute is this dragonfly?

I hope you guys had a great weekend too, and I wish you an amazing week!
