It was a rather chilly weekend in Hobart, perfect stitching weather. I finished off another sample for The Quilted Crow. This project is another Marg Low sweety called Vintage Stitchers Sampler.

I've almost completed a sample of Aunt Ivy's Sewing Basket too, but I'll show you that when it's done.
I've finally made a start on Helen's Life is Beatiful Quilt, I'm using Rural Jardin fabrics and the stitchery background is from the Rouenneries range.

I was very lucky to win a gorgeous Prize from Kate, Stitched With Love.
Kate sent me this gorgeous bundle of FQ's, they go so beautifully with some other FQ's I have stashed away so they'll be ending up in a quilt. Thank-you Kate!

My Gardener's Journal block for June just needs assembling.
Friday will see Helen, Fee and myself winging our way to Sydney for The Quilt and Craft Expo (Trade Only Event). I'm looking forward to a weekend away with stitching friends and being amongst it all. So if you're going to be there stop by The Pattern Press stand and say gidday!

Another win for you Jo the fabic that you won look very nice. It was quite cold here to on the week end. love the stitching that you got done over the week end.
Another lovely post.
You do beautiful projects, Jo. Great fabric bundle, too, even better that it goes with other colours in your stash. The trade show sounds exciting, hope you and Helen and Fee do really well. Have fun!!!!
Sounds like the perfect post. A bit of everything! Have a great time in Sydney. (Jealous much, but loving that SOMEONE is having a good time lol!)
Your little sampler project looks great.
I have seen some of the stitcheries in the Life is Beautiful quilt and they are so delicate and gorgeous. Fighting the temptation on that one.
Have a great time in Sydney.
Hi Jo! Best of luck to and from the show. Hope you get some "fun" time! I hope I can get started on the Life is Beautiful quilt...too busy this summer, but I look forward to it this fall. Love the blue! -Cori

You've done a lovely job of Marg's pattern. She gave me one of the thread holders for my birthday one year and I use it all the time. I must make another one to keep with my hexagons. Have fun in Sydney!
