I just find them so different from anything we get. They have such a clear aesthetic value. I love them.

Hi Suzanne. The search engine only seems to search titles in the blogs. So I think I need to add something to my titles that will make it easy to search. In the meantime, if you search ‘Sydney’ ‘Australasian’ ‘English paper piecing’ ‘storage’ ‘sids’ you should get most of mine. I also have my personal blog under Duckcreekmountainqu…[Read more]

You are right, it’s so hard to search. Most of mine have been tagged ‘quilting” . At least a lot if mine come up if I use that tag. Everyone’s name is at the bottom of their blog, so you can see who you are reading. The only other thing I can think of to do is copy the links and paste the message in a reply. I’ll try that.

Thanks Gini, African fabrics are hard to get here, so it’s nice to be able to order direct from Miriam in Nigeria. They are amazing prints.

Hi Suzanne, lovely to hear you enjoyed my blog. I’m trying to work out how you can search for past blogs, but so far I haven’t worked it out. I will let you know when I work it out myself!

The quilts were stunning especially the prize winners. It’s hard to do a show justice in a small post. Glad you enjoyed it.

Wow what great quilts. Great to see what people are making in Australia – such a wide variety of quilts and beautifully done. Thanks for sharing.

It’s interesting isn’t it, to sudddenly find we are not valuing ourselves the way we value others. Happy label making.

I think at our last quilt show, the whole right or left debate got settled as ‘on the right as you view the quilt from the front’, so that means on the left from the back. I’m like you I put the label on the rhs, so now I really have to think about it.

Labelling is that last little bit of making a quilt that sometimes gets neglected in the rush of meeting a deadline and giving a gift. It is so important though, and something I try to do when the quilting is nearing…

Great advice. Thank you Sue.

Thanks Ruth.

Great advice here – especially about the labels for pictures of quilts. I love commercially produced labels – and have a hundred or more – most of my labels are had embroidered with satin stitch, although a fancy font has me doing back stitch. I’ve always put the label in the bottom right corner of the quilt – unless it is a small wall hanging – then it goes in the centre!

I always put labels on quilts I make for others – never thought about the ones I make for myself. This got me thinking, whilst reading your Blog, that when I am ‘gone’ no one will know who made my quilts, or when. Will rectify that this week!!! Thanks for the advice and info! x

Ok, that’s embarrassing. I’ve been quilting for nearly 40 years, both my daughters have an interest in textiles, so, it’s not all mine, (at least, that’s my story and I’m sticking with it).

One of the things I always seem to be struggling with is storage. Firstly. Sewing requires a lot of gear and secondly the gear seems to be all odd shapes and sizes. I’m sure I can’t be the only person who spends hal…

Wow you’ve got sooo much stuff Sue 🙂 I kinda wish I had your storage problems but as a newbie I keep my fabric in square plastic art boxes, I have 10 lol – I know, it’s a bit sad isn’t it!!! I look forward to the day when I’ve got fabric stuffed into every corner – I’m sure your blog will come in very useful then x

I’ve only fairly recently classified my tools in a similar way (cutting, measuring, writing, etc), and it has been brilliant for making it both easy to put away and to find again. Some other great ideas in your post that I will probably try out too. Thanks for this blog.

Fantastic fabrics! I’ve made a couple of quilts using African prints, they’re very easy to get hold of in London although most seem to be imported from the Netherlands. I’ll take a look at the website, it sounds intriguing. Another really nice blog Sue. Your writing is always so interesting.

Lovely quilts and great ideas for the next one. I’m not sure how Bloggers Corner works. How can I read your previous blogs, Sue?

Beautiful and inspirational Sue. I love African batiks and find myself buying and hoarding instead of buying and sewing. You have given me something to think about, thank you 🙂
