In Issue 2 you will find Flirty Florence!
And in Issue 3 you will find Henrietta the Hippo!
I love all her angles!
They even put us here!
Which we had a fair old giggle about. And just so you know, that's Cathy on the right!
Now, onto the work in progress pics!
I finally finished the top of Chloe's quilt!
Yaaaaaaay!!
I know it will take another very long time to quilt but at least the design part is finished.
And it looks nice and vintagey which was what I was after. More importantly - she loves it!
And this photo is for Leslie.
I am knitting a lovely cardigan that I found via this fabulous girl. Katie is always making lots of lovely knitted stuff and inspired me to get the needles out again. She's not bad at the old quilting either - check out her latest couple of completed projects - gorgeous!!
I love this design and I already had just the right amount of wool in one of my favourite colours ready and waiting.
Hopefully it might be done in time for the cold weather.
It's our last week of school holidays and then I can get stuck into all my projects.
I have some work for another more local magazine to get done and my latest Four Seasons quilt swap to complete.
I also have all sorts of new patterns drawn up and hopefully will have some of them ready for the upcoming Melbourne Stitches and Craft Show. Cathy and I will be doing our applique canvas classes for the kids again which will be fun. And this year it has changed venue and is being put together by these fabulous people so I can't wait. Of course there will also be lots of other great crafty bloggers there so if you live anywhere near it's a great opportunity to meet them and all sorts of other fantastic retailers.
This week's weather is expected to be the hottest it has been in 100 years! 40 deg (104f) and above for four days - eeeew. Sounds like hiding inside and sewing weather to me!

Congratulations! I will *have* to get my hands on Issue 3...Henrietta is adorable!
It's hard to imagine heat over 100 degrees for days at a time when we are battling snow and ice. Too bad we can't split the difference and both be in a lovely 60 degrees!
Holy Cow -- you guys need to come here and cool off -- that's HOT!
Congrats on your beautiful new patterns -- they're both adorable. Chloe's quilt is gorgeous and I LOVE that sweater you're knitting -- it's going to be fabulous!
Oh, I just bought Sew Hip yesterday especially for the hippo pattern! I want to make it for my cousin's birthday as she loves hippos. I've been following your blog for a while, but didn't make the connection!

Congratulations about the Audrey and Maude news (or is it Maude and Audrey ...LOL)

I love the quilt top. The pattern combination is beautiful! You sure inspired me. Thanks for sharing.
All I can say is Lucky I got that autograph last year.....
Love Chloe's quilt! It looks so good! Maybe you should teach Chloe how to hand quilt it!!!
Thanks for exposing our faces - I still giggle about how we got those photos! Anyway all I can say is we are such brilliant photographers (magazine worthy!!)
That quilt is fabulous!
I'd love some super hot weather right now. We've just moved from Alabama, USA, to Pittsburgh, PA, and winter is yucky!
I really enjoy seeing all of your beautiful handiwork. I show it to my girls, as well. We admire all of it.
Chloes quilt is just lovely, looking forward to seeing your finished knitting too - it;s a gorgeous colour. I popped over to Philigry blog and have bookmarked to have a good read -

Hi there
I bought a copy of Sew Hip last week and I'm currently making Henrietta for my little boy, she is lovely. I'm quite pleased with myself as I have NEVER used a sewing pattern, which is quite shocking as I'm 39!!! so thanks to you I'm learning new skills :)Keep up the good work your work is lovely.

And Chloe's quilt is an absolute stunner. Love it.
Well done yet again my friend! They are selling Sew Hip at our local newsagent! It was even too hot to sew!!!
I really love the Hippo and will have to try to get myself a copy of the magazine.
You inspire me. What fabulous creations. ;)
