Prints Charming

I attended a Print Charming Screen Printing course on Thursday at their Marrickville studio. What a day!!! Inspiration!!! I have another addiction to add to my ever growing list. I loved how easy and quickly you can draw, stencil and print. I decided less was more with my pattern, some ladies did up to 5 colours.
On the way home I stopped at my daughters place and found a screen printing kit on ebay. Tar dar, by the time I drove the 3 hours home, I had won the kit. Yay!!!! My head is swirling with ideas to produce panels to make into gorgeous quilts!!!

Now Im back home again after spending two weeks with my new grandson Lachlan, his brother Joshua, my daughter Amanda and her gorgeous hubby Carl, Im ready to get into designing and finishing off some new patterns for the frog cottage range. Before I left I joined the "Inchy Hexagon Swap". I have cut out my hexi fabric with my new 'Go Baby' ( saves soo much time) and will finish two hexis this weekend, and send to my swap partner overseas.

Its finished!!!!!

At last Ive finally finished my grandson Joshua's Noahs Ark Quilt...

its been quite a while, but I can now tick this project off and start on my week old grandson Lachlan's quilt. Its the cot quilt in Anni Downs "Its a Boys Story' book.


Im in Sydney for a week before I go home. So Im sure I will have it finished !!!! Fingers crossed!!! I should get it done as IM not doing any Hexagons, nor my Pies and Tarts...... but the smiles on my grandsons faces ( and my daughters)  will be worth the week or so away from my "Hexi addiction".

Happy Stitching
