There’s some pretty good stuff going on around here. I thought you might like to vicariously join in the action!
Jaymi came in last Saturday. “Look at this great bag I was sent!” she said. “I’m going to make one. But for now I’ll just choose the fabric.”
She choose some verrrry nice fabric. “I’ll just cut it out,” she said. “How do you use the rotary cutter?” She learned how to use the rotary cutter in about 43 seconds (oh, to be young and clever!). “Maybe I could start sewing?” she said. (You can see where this is going…) “How do you quilt?” she asked (OH, TO BE YOUNG AND CLEVER!).
Well, by the end of the afternoon she was choosing buttons as a finishing touch and just look at what she had made…

Ann is a well-known Amazing Person around town. She is unbelievably prolific and her talents are many. She has made her scrap quilt into a true work of art by incorporating some rather beautiful friends. These ladies are machine embroidered (freehand) and coloured with pencils. Gorgeous!

Must be the heat that brings out the talent in you lot up there.
Sydney-siders are such an uncreative bunch.
And I speak for myself there.
Now that I’ve pissed off the whole of the Sydney readers here on this blog, I’m just going to slink off. Uncreatively, of course.

YES, they are both lovely BUT peppermintpatcher is much too smug as the rest of us have to only look on the internet

Ha Aunty! I can say we Georgia folks (at least this one) aren’t very creative either.
I want that bag! It’s divine. Love the integration of the gorgeous faces on those quilt squares. Quilts always make me think of people. My grandmother made her quilts from leftover dress/shirt/skirt fabric. Everytime I see one, I wonder what the black polka-dot fabric was used to create… a dress? It would make a fine skirt…. I wonder….
