EB Dolls Quilt Swap - received!

Look what I received in the post last night from Xena! Wow, I have been spoilt! This little quilt is absolutely stunning and the many hours of work that have gone into it can only be appreciated up close. All those little leaves hand embroided! Thankyou so much Xena - it truly is more than I could have asked for and will take pride of place in my new sewing room on the wall.

tonight! - the sisters' fair - robinvale

Tonight is the first "sisters' fair" as organised by the girls at Koolaman designs.

It is going to be a lovely night in an old homestead on the banks of the Murray River at Robinvale - fully airconditioned - so please don't be put off by this crazy hot weather that we have been having!

I have some last minute sewing to finish and then need to leave home just after lunch to get down there to set up ready for the start at 5pm. Hope to see you there!

EB Dolls Quilt Swap - what I made . . .

It was opening day yesterday for the EB Dolls Quilt Swap for 2009. Here are some more photos of the quilt I completed as part of the swap. I made for Tania, and you can see some pics of the quilt on her blog with one of her girls who is very happy with the little quilt. The two pink fabrics I used were from Lila Tueller's Santorini collection and the rest of the fabrics are from Sanae's Panache collection. The little birdies tails are made using pale pink bridal tulle. I free motion quilted the quilt in two different coloured pink threads, pale pink for the centre piece and a darker brighter pink around the border where the birdies are.

I am yet to receive my quilt, but am looking forward to it and am in no rush as we are away on holiday's still so hope to come home to a lovely package. You can check out some more of the beautiful quilts made in the EB Quilters Flickr group.

MissChief Maker - Canberra

Since the launch of my new 'Gypsy' dresses last week and the upload of a few designs into my Madeit Shop on Sunday I have been bombarded with wholesale enquiries!

Wonderful, wonderful news for this very busy mummy!

The first of my new stockists who will have a small selection of these gorgeous little dresses in her store from late next week, with more to come in a few weeks time is;

How gorgeous and inviting does the door to the shop look!

So if you are in Canberra, make sure you pop in and say hello to Katie and check out her gorgeous stock of OOAK new, re-purposed pre-loved and vintage clothing and accessories.

Now this busy mummy is off on a much needed short family holiday (our first in goodness knows how long!), but I'll be back next week with more crafty/sewing/quilting stuff - including a sneak peak at another new design - finally something for the boys! hooray!

sister's fair - 11th November 2009

Well another market is added to the list before Christmas - this one has been organised by Lisa at Koolaman Designs - who I haven't as yet had the pleasure of meeting but have been eyeing off the girls beautiful work and might have to put in an order myself for hubby for Christmas!

Lisa has organised a special market night for Wednesday 11th November 2009 in Robinvale, Victoria. Now for those that are going - where in the world is Robinvale - check the map link I have added. Basically about an hour and a half from me here in Mildura towards Melbourne. So if you are in that area or know someone that is that may like to pop up for this very exciting night - please let them know!

A small selection of stall holders will have on offer a beautiful array of jewellery, fabrics, lighting, children's clothing, toys, gourmet foods, and more - plus we are all making a plate of some yummy snacks for the night and refreshments will be available.

So where in Robinvale?

at the Robinswood Homestead, Lennon Drive, Robinvale.

Blogtoberfest Day #30 ~ Busy Mess

I am busy trying to get lots of sewing done of my new dress design for Sunday's market amongst other bits and pieces . . .

. . . and Miss M is busy making a mess behind me while I sit at the machine. I've lost track of how many times she has emptied my bin of scraps and threads so I've stopped picking it all up off the floor, it can stay there for now.

Last day of Blogtoberfest tomorrow - the draw for my giveaway will happen sometime during the day : )
