Last night I started my version of Block Two. You can get the free pattern HERE from Shell's fabulous on-line shop.
In just a few months time she has a book of her amazing Folk Art Fusion designs coming out. I just can't wait. She is so talented, and sweet and kind too.
A few months ago I met Christine of McDonald's Patch at the North of the Yarra Quilting groups' quilt show. You know how sometimes you meet some-one and you instantly like them. Well that's how I felt about Christine.
We read each other's blogs and exchange emails and Christine has been suggesting I join her quilting group. So last night I went along to a meeting and I had a wonderful time. Everyone was so welcoming, and we chatted and laughed like old friends.
A huge thank you to Christine for meeting me there and introducing me around.
FABULOUS FREE STUFF

ReplyDeleteIt was lovely having you come to our sit and sew Mel. How nice it is to meet our blogging friends in person. We certainly got a lot of talking in, along with a bit of stitchery! I see you got your Hannah and Harrington block finished. It looks lovely. We probably could have got a lot more sewing done last night if we hadn't talked so much! LOL I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself and we haven't scared you off. Looking forward to catching up with you soon. Hugs, Christine
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely lady Christine is and of course how could you both not get on ,you are both amazing ladies,so glad you got to meet each other in person,thankyou for those lovely links Mel,enjoy your day.xx
ReplyDeleteHow wonDerFuL to meet up with blogging friends. I'm soooo very jealous of the two of you! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many groups, so little time! And for me so much distance! Sounds like you had a lovely evening and a new beginning! Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a lovely evening, Melody :) did you get much stitching done?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a lovely time at your new quilting group :-) Love your Block 2 - I see with interest that you have button-holed rather than running stitched. Did you also use the Steam a Seam to 'glue' the felt on? I've done my stitching on the 1st two blocks and am just up to the felt steps. Thanks. Hope you have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a sweet block Melody - I love Shell's stuff, and I too am really looking forward to her book! How lovely that you have some new friends to stitch with. Thanks for the wonderful links, hon!
ReplyDeleteThe bunny block is so cute!! You find the most amazing things on the internet. And aren't sewing friends the best, I'm glad you had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeletehow fun to go and play with Christine and her group.. it is so fun when you get together and click so well
