Round Robin Bears - a sneak peak !!!

Pulled out an old old UFO - a design of mine which will possibly be called "Round Robin Bears", as I am going to  add more borders...... mmmmmm ! Not sure of the size ofthe quilt   yet. 

 I am replacing the old button eyes and stitched mouths and noses with penned features. Then hopefully I'll finish the Broderie Perse borders  on the other two sides and corners. Let's hope it stays out of the UFO pile and gets completed over my Christmas break.  😏

The kits for this design will be limited to the amount of the beautiful border  fabric I can supply as I have had it stashed away for many years. 

Let me know if you're interested and I will put you on my list - can't guarantee a number yet until I work out how much border fabric will be needed. 

Bears and Dollies

Five appliqued bear blocks interspersed with four log cabin blocks, bordered with stripped pieces form this lap quilt.

Pattern: $23.10

Kit: $165

Kit contains all fabrics  for the quilt top including threads and fusible web.

Counting on my Friends

I somehow got carried away catching up with what I thought was quilts lacking labels- so promptly made one for this, fused it on, and lo and behold it already had a label of a different kind in the opposite corner. 

Now to blanket stitch it in position. Might as well have both.

Libby's Bear Mystery BOM

Libby's (from Art Smart Craft Cottage) Bear Mystery 
I ( from today) have the first four stages of this quilt in pattern form. These are also the only patterns I have knowledge of.

Pattern set price: $132.00 which includes p&h within Australia. To be posted at the end of each month
Kit price: $43.20 per stage* This price will only be valid until mid July

My kits will contain all fabrics for quilt top and binding, weaveline for the embroidered backgrounds,fusible web, embroidery threads, laces (not doilies) and buttons #.
 # I am really not sure of buttons either, but have been prepared to take a gamble that a similar number ( or less) will be used in future blocks.
The kits will contain braids and trims where I use them, but in some cases where raw edges are not easy to contain, I have preferred (and opted for) additional embroidery instead of braids.
I cannot include doilies as it is still an unknown as to how many and what variety may be in the various stages, and I therefore may not be able to supply all that is needed.


I am making my sample as near to the colors that Libby has used, although Libby told me she has used many scraps for her quilt,  so there would be little likelihood of having exactly the same fabrics in every instance, but I do have some the same, and some very similar.

Hopefully I will remember to post the other 3 covers tomorrow....need to bring them home from the shop  to do so.

Libby's Mystery Quilt

Coming soon- 
Libby's (from Art Smart Craft Cottage) Bear Mystery 

Stage 1 pattern arrived late Feb.
Please let me know asap if you would like this as a pattern or kit, as I am sure this is going to be a winner !!!!!
Prices  and kit details will be published as soon as  I have all the information.
Approximate cost of pattern set (10 patterns) will be at least $100.00. Patterns ordered before March 20th can be locked in at $100.00. I have changed this from the previous date of the end of Feb due to my newsletter being quite late to notify people of this special.
Further patterns will have to have the price increased. At this stage the patterns are coming out monthly from Libby, and I am not sure whether this will continue, so the $100.00 price is very cheap and may not be able to be sustained with the nuerous postings required.
Stage 2 is expected at the end of March.


Note re fabrics in my kits: Price for kits should be ready by March 20th.
I am making my sample as near to the colors that Libby has used, although Libby told me she has used many scraps for her quilt,  so there would be little liklihood of having exactly the same fabrics in every instance, but I do have some the same, and some very similar.
