New Studio

I love the new Studio. What makes it special is the beautiful old building and the shop front; an opportunity to display my samples and wares in a window! (Even though it is inside.)

I was very happy with my first effort setting up and was almost finished before the first customer arrived.

 

The address is Suite 4/611 Dean Street.

(Situated in the block between Townsend and Kiewa Street.

The pedestrian crossing leads straight to the front doors.)

Suite 4 is at the end of the corridor.

I love how you can just glimpse the shop at the end.

 

 

I do have to sort out the front door.

On the weekends the door may not push open.

There is a sign with my mobile number; ring or text me and I'll take a walk and open the door for you.

 

 

The next pop up shop is

Fun, Colourful Quilt

What to do with forty-two 7 inch squares from an American Jane range purchased many moons ago.

It's been many years since I made either of my daughters a quilt. Many little projects but not a quilt since their 21st birthdays to my embarrassment.

Obviously I love these fabrics, or I wouldn't have purchased them, and knew my daughter would too.

They came rolled in a tin with a pattern which involved more cutting and sewing than I had the time or the inclination to do.

I find it hard to make a decision with fabrics I love, especially when they are only small pieces, procrastinating, not wanting to cut them in case I come up with a better idea.

But I was running out of time, when am I never not, and kept it simple.

I started by pairing two 7 inch squares and cutting them in half.

Sewed the 3.5 x 7 inch pieces together.

Once sewn cut them in half cross ways.

Each unit was then paired with another and sewn together to

make a four-patch.

There were a few prints I liked too much to cut up and left them as whole pieces. These were trimmed to match the size of the four-patches before sewing.

More fabrics were added to make the quilt 54 x 54 inches.

My daughter loves it!

One down, another to go, I have until Christmas.
