Ooops it’s been two weeks…

Sorry, I didn’t mean to disappear for a fortnight but that flu did knock me I’m afraid.

Thank you for your well wishes, and yes my DH looked after me well…he cooked all the meals and kept the fire roaring.

I didn’t manage any hand-sewing over the last two weeks, but I did sit down and put in the time to finally finishing the pattern for the

Banyan Tree Medallion Quilt

It’s amazing (not in a good way, maybe astounding would be a better word) how long something can be at a virtually completed state, but then just sit in limbo waiting for me to give it a final ‘tweak’.

But I am glad to say that the Banyan Tree Medallion pattern is complete, and being printed as we speak.

It will soon be added to the Quilt Patterns for on-line purchase and also hopefully at your local quiltshop.

Now that it’s nearing Maltaville mailout time again, I wish I had felt like sewing the last two weeks but I did nothing on that.

So last night I hastily got the centre out and started selecting and cutting some more pieces because it was looking a bit unloved.

It’s looking a little better now isn’t it, I will get some more happening with it tonight.

Today I have been tracing the copies to go out to you this week…

Yes  those of you who are up to mailout number five will be getting the Centre Block.

It’s great to see some blocks over on the Maltaville blog,

it’s making me keep at it that’s for sure as I can see that there are a couple of you keeping right up to date with the mailouts.

Here’s a block I finished a little while ago that I don’t think I’ve shown yet.

This one was really fun to do.

I am off to Sydney this weekend for the Sydney Quilt Show, I’m going with Jennifer and we are both looking forward to it.

I’m also meeting up with Petra who is bringing ‘home’ my Mid 19th Century Star quilt.

It will be super to meet her in person at long last.

Jenn and I want to get to the Quiltsmith and Material Obsession shops as well as the quilt show of course so we have a busy weekend planned.

It’d be great to meet up with any of you who are going to be at the quilt show on the Saturday, let me know if you’re going to be there and we’ll work something out.

Til soon…
