Quick Announcement and a Favour…
November 11, 2020
Hi!
After all our bushfire dramas here last year, right on top of Christmas, we’re gearing up for a really BIG fun festive season this year.
We’ve been working hard on a great way to Countdown to Christmas this year, and we think we have something really special lined up.
We have a bunch of our favourite patterns ready to go, but we need your help. Before we finalise all this, we need to make sure we have covered everything.
This is where you come in. Please take a few minutes to answer this super-short survey – there is really only one thing we want to ask you…
What are your two top types of patterns / quilt-making techniques that we need to include? We’ve chosen ours, but would really appreciate some feedback on what you prefer.
Please just leave us a quick comment below.
Thanks again,

I see you have several requests for Quilt As You Go. I have an excellent book on QAYG by Monica Poole which I bought in a pack at the Melbourne Craft and Quilt Show about 3 years ago. It doesn’t seem to be available any more, She doesn’t seem to have a web site or be on Facebook but if you can track her down it really is the quickest and easiest QAYG. Although the book has the ‘tram lines’ on the front I have made a few quilts with the trams on the back so I don’t lose the secondary pattern on the top and it works just as well.
maybe some new techniques such as Hawai’ian quilting and tying (sp?) quilting instead of stitching quilting

Love new blocks eg. block of the month and lots of table runners, lap quilts and Xmas gift crafts.
Craft and hand appliqué
I’d like to see quilts inspired by photographs. I have thousands of photos I’ve taken over time, thousands!
Love to see quilts done in a couple of different colors/prints!
More ideas for charity quilts
My two top quilts are scrappy and panels. I sew for Victoria quilts and get a lot of random fabric donations (scrappy). I also like to do panel quilts and plan the blocks to go around to make the quilt big enough (50×70). I like men’s quilts because there is to few patterns for them. Victoria Quilts makes quilts for people under going cancer treatments.
