Shadow Dreaming

Ann has just created a new quilt to showcase our Australian Indigenous fabrics - Shadow Dreaming.  Based on a quilt pattern by SK Peters ($2.20 in store), this quilt features squares of Indigneous fabrics, predominantly in shades of red, grey and brown, shadowed by small strips of grey and black, on a cream background. 

Wendy Tomes from Lavender Blue Quilting in Kingston quilted Shadow Dreaming for us and she did a wonderful job - quilting kangaroos, symbols and boomerangs into the top. 

Finished size 54.5 x 67".  To make life extra easy we have kits available with all the fabrics needed for the quilt top!  Kit cost $95

Larkspur

Three more fabrics from the Alexander Henry Larkspur collection just flew in the door.  Abstract, retro flowers, birds, dots and now a border stripe, they remind me of Brian Wildsmith's children's book illustrations (I'm reading The Little Wood Duck to my daughter at the moment). 

These fabrics are $26/m, or you can collect them all in a bundle for $25 (save $8!)

A Frangipani customer Sandra Payne recently made the Make it Perfect jacket pattern Uptown Girl in Larkspur Meadow, lined with Larkspur Circes.  This is the 5th jacket she has made with this pattern - and she has made it in five different sizes!  It looks stunning.

Sweet Nothings Cot Quilt

Ann has just made the perfect, easy cot quilt for a little girl with a mixture of our beautiful Riley Blake Happier and Sweet Nothings fabrics, and some Teddy's Garden by Benartex. 

This quilt is based on our bargello cot quilt method which halves your sewing and cutting time.  The Sweet Nothings cot quilt is availble as a $55 kit (which includes pattern, quilt top and binding), or as a pattern for $9.95. 

This quilt also includes a decorative pink flange, which adds an inner border to the quilt, whilst keeping it smaller than the width of a standard quilting fabric, so you don't have to join your backing fabric!
