Sigh…another fun mini-break at Great Keppel Island is over. Dear Heart and I met here 39 years and 11 months ago to be exact. We were so fresh-faced and full of possibility. Needless to say - Life had much in store for us - so we make our yearly pilgrimage to honour what was, what was to come, and what now is…grey hair, wrinkles, and all! And, of course, this older gal no longer sunbathes…instead a bit of knitting and hand sewing occurs…and occasionally under the influence…rebel that I am…not!!

October was the month that:
✅ version 2 of my ‘Posy Parade’ design was finally brought forth. Super happy with how it turned out. 🤗
✅ Peek-a-Boo got a reprisal and Block 56 emerged.
✅ I spent an outrageous amount of money on Tula Pink’s out-of-print De La Luna cameos…and then compounded it by buying a SECOND piece in a mauve colourway. 😋
✅ was completely traumatised by the‘Fool’s Fate’ ending and had to re-read the last third to make my peace with it.
✅ remembered with gratitude my darling big brother who was taken from this world too soon. ✨💖✨

The difference different fabric choices make. ‘Posy Parade’ in another colourway.

Since we are mid-Spring, I thought I would share this floral riot made by my Mama Bear. Mum comes to us each Christmas and, naturally, she and I spend much time sewing. We went to our local quilt store (of course we did!)…Lyn-Jelle’s at Emu Park…and Mum bought a random array of floral fabrics which became her Christmas project and turned into this lovely lap quilt.

Since there was a predominance of sunflower fabrics, I went with that for the quilting as well. I feel so blessed to have precious mother/daughter time spent doing something that we both love. 💝

Last weekend it was time to get version 2 of my ‘Posy Parade’ quilted. I burned some oils, cranked up the music, and away Lizzie and I went. I found the perfect backing in my cupboard - a huge black and white check that was purchased many years ago. I love diving into my stash for fabrics to use as a backing.

I did consider custom quilting this but then remembered that black and white quilts tend to make the quilting VERY low impact. So instead I chose a fav edge-to-edge quilting pattern that incorporates a pointed petal flower with scrolls and feathers to give the quilt some interesting texture. This pattern is about to be tested and then will be available for purchase…so watch this space. 🤗

Let’s get up close and personal with Kathy Kerr’s magnificent Double Wedding Ring quilt. Professionally valued at $8000 - it is worth every dollar! 💝

16/10/2026

Alrighty then! Last week saw me staggering over the finish line, courtesy of the quilting marathon that ‘girlfriend’ - Kathy Kerr - set for me. Said girlfriend is most emphatically our Quilt Queen this week with her mammoth Double Wedding Ring…although for a period…our friendship got relegated to something decidedly lesser. 😑

I get to be the Quilting Warrior because this was the biggest beast to grace Lizzie’s rollers and took seven very long days to complete. My body started murmuring around Day 3 and was in a full roar by the end of Day 4. Everything hurt - fingers, wrists, back, neck and feet - but I soldiered on cos that is what warriors do. 😜

That said…it is a magnificent quilt and I can love it again now that it is back in its mummy’s hands. I was smirking as I handed it over and pointed out that it was now her turn to grapple with the scallop binding - all 436 inches!!

And yes…I did drink that night. 😋

P.S. Kathy had it professionally valued at a whopping $8000.
P.P.S. Now she tells me she wants to make a scrappy one. 😶 I have gently suggested that perhaps it should be a touch smaller.

A little tour of Lynore Smith’s quilt hot off Lizzie’s press. Want something simple to do with your jellyroll…then this is your quilt!! It showcases fabrics with a full-on modern vibe.

Time for something simple, fun, and designed for the jellyroll pre-cut. Lynore Smith has made this beautiful modern quilt. A plain beige background is the perfect foil to make those 2” strips pop and its linen-like look really adds to the modern vibe.

For quilting - I went for texture texture texture baby!! 😋 A playful paisley to soften up all those straight lines. 💖

September was a busy month and involved:

✅ being a Miss September for the Quilters Companion Diary 2026
✅ finally finishing the binding for version 1 of ‘Posy Parade’
✅ accidentally creating a merged block from my ‘Petalworks’ and ‘Second Chance Circles’ quilts
✅ smashed out a Double Wedding Ring custom quilt over 7 days that had my 57 year old body roaring its displeasure at me
✅ survived - in fact - sailed through my most difficult Bipolar month…
so happy days!! 🤗
