October's One Monthly Goal Finish

My project goal this month was to complete 3 toy giraffes for some lucky little owners. It is a little different from what I am normally working on.The original post can be viewed here.

This was the first one ready for the final stitch up.
Now here are the three of them finished. It had been a while since I made the last one that I had forgotten how much work went into them, but I got them done.

I have linked this post up with Elm Street Quilts post, so pop over and check out what has been completed this month.
Until Next Time

Vintage Rose - Technique of the Month

Vintage Rose is a six part technique of the month program we are running in 2019. It will start on the 3rd February 2019 with the first full day workshop (9.30 am – 4 pm). Each month we will explore a new foundation paper piecing technique with Elizabeth Chadwick, who is a Quiltworx certified instructor as we work our way through the stunning Vintage Rose quilt.  The workshops are $75 each and the first payment is due on booking, then $75 when you attend each workshop. If you attend the five workshops your last workshop uses the $75 deposit you paid on booking. If you don’t turn up for a workshop without notifying the shop you will lose your booking deposit. Pattern and fabrics are extra and on booking I will give you the requirements. Fabrics purchased at Cynthia’s Ark for this program will be at the special workshop price. Any questions let me know.  The following pictures have come from Quiltworx. These give you some ideas on colour ways. 

Don't forget we have Elizabeth's Vintage Rose hanging in the shop if you want a closer look. It is the one at the top of this blog post.

Until Next Time

Our Sue Daley Afternoon Tea Visit

Friday! The big day we have been working towards had arrived. We were hosting Sue Daley with afternoon tea. Sue is a fantastic speaker and even if you are not a Quilter her story is worth hearing. We started with Sue's talk once everyone had settled in.

Lots of shots of the afternoon. We had a lovely afternoon tea followed by Sue doing some book signing and some demos on English paper piecing.

I have to thank Sue for coming and spending the afternoon with us. It was a  pleasure.

Until the next time we do this
