Our Little Women Group did a great job with their Courthouse Steps quilts. We had a fabulous turnout of Courthouse Steps quilts at our December meeting. Again, our group was very creative with the design and color of the quilts. The original design called for 1 inch cut strips, creating a 5 inch finished block. The finished size of the original quilt is 15.5 inches by 20.5 inches. Don't you love their creativity! You all did a great job, girls!

Ok here we go with Week 45 Moda BlockHeads! 45! 3 blocks to go! How are you doing ? Are you caught up? I am totally shocked that I've been able to keep up. The weekly pace suits me. Hope you are still with us and enjoying the journey. Question of the Week....Do you have any exciting plans or adventures on your calendar for 2018? Well, as a matter of fact, an exciting year awaits me....maybe you can join me! February 1 and 2 I'll be in Athens, Alabama at the Dixie Stitchers Quilt Guild. March I'll be teaching at Greenbriar Retreat Center (full). In April I fly to FRANCE! 2 days in Paris, then on to Nantes for the quilt show Pour l'Amour du Fil www.pourlamourdufil.com April 25th-28 for my Quiltmania book debut. Home for 2 weeks then on to Portland in May for Quilt Market and then teaching outside Seattle for 2 shops (details to come). 2 guild trips in June, Duncan, Oklahoma and Ozark Quilt Guild in Springfield, Missouri. Shops in Iowa and Nebraska in September (details to come), then niece's wedding, Dallas Quilt Guild (unconfirmed) in October. Quilt Market in Houston in November. I think that is all. Haven't had such a busy year in a long, long time. If you are near where I will be, I'd love to see you! This week's pattern is from Jo and what a fun pattern it is to make! Click here for Jo's pattern on her blog. I trimmed the large geese to measure 2" x 3 1/2" and small geese to 1 1/4" x 1 3/4" Thanks Jo! Please visit my friends (links below) to see what they have made this week. Here is a cutie! 3" Mini Penny block Make flying geese units using the same method as in our instructions. To make working with the tiny geese a little easier, I cut geese rectangles 1 5/8" x 2 5/8" and background squares 1 5/8" Once made, trim geese units to 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" Cut center square 1 1/2" You will start sewing long side to center square with a partial seam, then add each long side of geese unit. Tricky part is the final seam to meet your first partial seam. It's tedious there, because of such small block, but sew worth it! Love these blocks! Want to join me in France??? One more thing to do....Do you like a quilt challenge? Do you like prizes? Go to Annette Plog's blog to learn more about the One Block Challenge she is hosting with 3 Moda designers. Look for her post detailing the rules. One Block Challenge and I'm the first designer! I chose the Double T block, a long time favorite block. Here is one of the reasons why I love it...one of the first antique quilts I purchased in the 1990s. I reproduced this quilt with a pink setting for my book Gone to Texas....I think T is for Texas, or for anything really that starts with a T! I hope you join in the fun. Can't wait to see what you will make!

Been keeping busy…I just love sights like this one …a sure sign of work getting done. Turning all those tiny 1” scraps into this. ...
I had a lovely time attending "Quilts in the Barn" this morning at Wonga Park which is 29 km north-east of Melbourne. The guest exhibitor was Jo Morton from Nebraska, USA. Jo is a fabric designer, author, teacher and lecturer. Her quilts represent re-creations of antique quilts from the 19th century. Jo's work has been published in a number of quilting magazines and she has also appeared in a number of quilt quilting shows. She kindly agree to allow me to photograph her in front of one of her beautiful quilts; this one is called "Winterberries" from the book "Coming Home". Her new book is to be released in the Fall and I have my eye on this quilt... I loved all her quilts and took many photos, but I'll leave you with some pictures of the ones that come out best. There were other featured Australian quilters with beautiful work. This doll's bed is adorable... And because 'I needed' some fabrics, I purchased this cute collection of shirting designed by Jo Morton.
l can't believe its already been 2 weeks since we held our QITB exhibition with Jo Morton. Time sure flies when you are having fun!! Its been a super busy few weeks, with Jo and Russ, and l would not change 1 minute of it. From their arrival at Melbourne airport, to setting up the exhibit, spending 3 days hanging out with wonderful women and men who visitied, a few days stitching at Sorrento, 4 days down in Tassie, and our final piece de'resistance, a trip to Threadbear in Castlemaine, our time with our guests has just been the BEST!!! l will leave you with these photos, which speak for themselves, of the wonderful quilts that were on exhibit over the 3 days. The star of the show!! Jo herself. The following photos are of Quilts Jo brought with her. The following photos are of quilts made by Bev, Dorothy and myself. This quilt was made by Meghan. Thanks for letting us hang it. This quilt was made by Jacinta. Thanks for letting us hang it. Over the next few posts, l will share some photos of everyone having a great time, our lucky raffle quilt winner, and also some behind the scenes shots. l am up for a bribe if you don't want your photo out there!!! Thanks for visiting, Linda.
