scraps, rants + recipes: Mucking around with apple core templates
http://lorenainsydney.blogspot.com/2011/06/mucking-around-with-apple-core.html
Sunday, June 26, 2011. Mucking around with apple core templates. I picked up some apple core foundation paper templates at the quilt show yesterday. I was itching to try them as the demo looked so easy. Should have paid more attention to the technique! I clearly remember being told that the concave curves didn't need clipping but I couldn't work out any other way to get these to turn under. I then appliquéd the whole lot down onto a solid blue fabric. Looking pretty cute so far. Quilt To Give Sew Along.

scraps, rants + recipes: End of an era
http://lorenainsydney.blogspot.com/2011/08/end-of-era.html
Sunday, August 28, 2011. End of an era. Our house of eight years is being demolished tomorrow… We moved here when the children were little and we’ve really had lots of good times within these walls. We love the neighbours, the area and the orientation of the block. So whilst we outgrew the house we couldn’t justify the expense of renovating and fixing it’s many faults. It makes total sense to knock it down and rebuild. Friends ask if I’m sad to see it go, and honestly NO! What time do they start? Stitchi...

Building The Denver 43 Dream - And Everything Else In Between. Wednesday, 24 July 2013. Cabinetry installed and painting on the go. Our cabinetry has been installed , and I'm really happy with my colour choices. Unfortunately the cabinet makers have given me the wrong drawer fronts, new ones have been ordered , just a waiting game now. Also painters are in, and are doing a wonderful job. We have gone for Dulux White Duck half strength on the walls. 20 February 2014 at 03:15. View my complete profile.

http://lorenainsydney.blogspot.com/2011/05/quilting-continued.html
Saturday, May 28, 2011. Only 2 more meetings before we have to have this quilt finished. We've all been so busy studying, working, mothering. Handquilting the hexagons is getting easier but I still don't like the feel of the fabric grain being all over the place. The edges are particularly difficult. PS This is a link to last year's quilt featured in Down Under Quilts, pg 13. Labels: Blue and Yellow Hex quilt. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Lorena's Patchwork and Quilting Class Notes.

Building The Denver 43 Dream - And Everything Else In Between: A Patch Of Land
http://buildingthedreamdenver43.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-patch-of-land.html
Building The Denver 43 Dream - And Everything Else In Between. Saturday, 23 March 2013. A Patch Of Land. So Mick and I decided it was time to get out of suburbia and find somewhere with open space. Somewhere that wasn't too far away from where we were currently living. After going for a leisurely Sunday drive into Hidden Valley, Mick was blown away by it's beauty and open space. I had previously owned land here, so already knew how gorgeous it was! We loved it's Tuscan theme. View my complete profile.
