Going away again

Yes, I have been back at work briefly orders are up to date; BOM's have gone out and Bagalicious is on it's way (unless your credit card did not work in which case I will be in touch with you as soon as I can).

If you are waiting for a reply to an email, I am sorry I have not replied yet, I will get back to you as soon as I return, I have been working through them.

I am sorry to leave again so soon, but I am travelling to country Victoria tomorrow to attend a family funeral. I will be back at work on Friday.

Take care.

Authentically Dad by Lisa Cox of A Spoonfull of Sugar

Here in Australia Father's Day is fast approaching.  With this in mind Lisa Cox of A Spoonfull of Sugar has put together a wonderful collection of gifts that you could make for your father or the man in your life.

Lisa has used a combination of natural linen and fabrics from the Authentic range to create her projects.

You will find Lisa's first project tutorial here and make sure you visit again each day for the next three days to see the remaining tutorials.

And I have let you know that Lisa's daughter Sarah, has put together the beautiful collage of projects that you see above.  Sarah is only 12 and I am in awe of her graphic design skills.  Congratulations Sarah you are doing an amazing job!

Butterfly Garden BOM by Leanne's House

Due to popular request we have put together a kit for Leanne Beasley's Butterfly Garden Block of the Month.

Here is a collage to show you the fabrics we have chosen to do the Quilt Fabric Delights' version in.

Here is a photograph of Leanne's original quilt if you haven't already seen it, so that you can see how beautiful the finished quilt it is.

Thank you to my sister Susan for stitching up the sample blocks for me.  I love this quilt  for many reasons, but it is also a great opportunity to use so many of the beautiful fabrics that you love.  We had such fun choosing the fabrics together, especially since it is not often that Susan and I are in the same state, let alone the same room.

If you would like to join this Block of the Month you can find it on our website here.  The first block will be ready for posting on the 1st of September 2010.

Stitching at the Waters Edge

Yes, I am still here, I don't honestly think I can tell you where the time has gone since I last posted.  July went in a flash with all the fun we had at Christmas in July, and now August is nearly half over.

It has been an incredibly busy time recently here at Quilt Fabric Delights and I can't remember the last time we had a whole weekend of not working.  That's good because it means things are going well, but it is also tiring.  So I am leaving Garry in charge for the weekend and I am going away this weekend for a girls' weekend with my sister.  We are heading to Nowra for Jukejema's Stitching at the Waters Edge Retreat hosted by the lovely Kim Goatcher who owns Jukejema Quilt Barn in Nowra.     I can't wait, Rosalie Quinlan and Leanne Beasley are teaching.  I'm meeting my sister at Sydney Airport Friday lunchtime, along with Natalie Ross (Nat's not teaching), and Rosie and Leanne, then we hop on a bus for the trip to Nowra.  Somehow I don't think that will be a quiet trip.  Maybe I should pack ear plugs for the driver.

I am not sure that I'll get much stitching done, I think I will be busy looking at all the beautiful samples, taking in the view and maybe just a little talking. 

Lovely husband that he is Garry has also organised to take the following week off work with a proviso that I turn the computer off for the week and take a break.  So along with some R&R we will be trying to catch up on the million and one jobs that have been ignored around the house, hopefully getting our new attic organised and getting Quilt Fabric Delights back into one room (plus an attic ) and not nearly the whole house.

If you would like to order anything, please order before 10.00 am this Thursday so I can get it out to you before I leave.  Otherwise orders will be posted on Monday the 30th August.

So I will to be back full of energy and enthusiasm on the 30th of August, ready to share with you lots of great new products, events and more.... you may have seen a sneak peak of one over here (make sure you are signed up for our newsletter as numbers will be strictly limited for this club).

But before I go, while I have been busy recently so have the Creative Team.  They have sent in a number of great tutorials to share with you and all going to plan these should (that would be if I set it up correctly) pop up here while I am gone.
