Hello out there in blogland.....it has been a while since I have posted anything on either of my blogs.......just had some time away from the computer and now have a new/second hand laptop......have been very busy working on a couple of quilts.....working in the yard and spending time with hubby.....going out to lunch or dinner and a movie........we also went to Brisbane to see Empire......what a fantastic show.....went to the Brisbane Art Gallery last week with friends from the Thursday class to see the V & A Quilts......what an experience to be able to see such amazing quilts......the workmanship is incredible ......I am hoping to go back in August to see the Ruth Stonely collection ....I had done a few class with Ruth in the 90's ......so it will lovely to see her work again....

I have written in earlier posts about doing my version of the Circle Game quilt by Jen Kingwell of  http://amitietextiles.blogspot.com.au/ .....( I hope the link works for you) ......well I have finished the top......and I am so happy with it......I am still unsure about what sort of quilting I am going to do on it......



I'm thinking I might quilt some circles in the border the same size as what has been appliqued and then echo them......but apart from that I don't know......it will come to me....

I enjoyed making this quilt so much that I have actually started another one.......in brighter fabrics.....not too often you want to make the same quilt pattern twice....

It feels good to be back blogging again......I am not a fantastic story teller or writer.....but I hope you enjoy what I post........

Until next time......

Happy stitching - - - - - -Cathy

  2. I love your Circle Game quilt! I hear so many times that people enjoy making Jen Kingwell patterns but the fact that you're making another one straight away really says a lot. Thanks for mentioning the Ruth Stonely exhibition. I'm going to Brisbane to see the V&A quilts and now am even more excited that I can look forward to this exhibition as well.
