Wholly Quilts August Newsletter
G’day
I have just come in from the garden where Spring is definitely lurking. Daffodils are a-blooming, weeds are starting to appear, the sun is definitely warmer and even a calf can be seen in the nearby paddocks. My daughter tells me she has three sets of twins in her wee flock of sheep. All of nature seems to be waiting for the ‘off’
I forgot to tell you that I had overcome my symposium blues and made an entry for NANZQ’s Illumination challenge (and won a merit award in the traditional category) and also got a piece in the World Quilt shows in
Prayer Flags are hanging in the studio now and look wonderful. Thanks to all those who have contributed to this. Still time to put your mark up there. I have a variety from bright appliquéd flowers and ‘my church’ to Kiwiana and pieced blocks. I understand there are even some in the making from the ‘women in prison stitchers’.
Speaking of such things - what a great cause for us to support with any extra fabric, batting or books etc. Let me know if you have any contributions and I will put you in touch with Lyn Dawson. She has just spent a weekend retreat with me and has a heap of stories to tell. Just one of the interesting quilters I have met here over the last three years – it makes running the retreats and classes so much fun.
The Project is nearing an end. I have finally got the prototype pieced. Those participating will have two more ‘episodes’ after today’s one and then receive the big reveal. The finished quilt is (about) 65x88 inches so a good size for a single bed.
I am working on the next project now so keep an eye out for that. It won’t be quite as big but you will have options to make it larger if wanted.
Regards
Natalie Murdoch
