A few months ago I made a quilt using 2 candy logs of Terra Australis.Candy logs are the same as jelly rolls, a pack of 2.5" wide strips.I really enjoyed putting the colours together in this quilt and the silver hanky linen really sets the diamond shapes off.Of course I had to call it Australis Diamonds! This pattern can be found in the current issue of Quilters Companion, No 69. 

I recently attended The Melbourne Craft and Quilt fair with all my Terra Australis fabrics and quilt packs.I had a fabulous four days catching up with old friends and connecting with lots of new ones. Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by and said hello, your support is wonderful!

The lovely folk at Ella Blue got some of their talented sewers to make two of my patterns in the alternate colour ways.The first has become a favourite of mine.It is the Waratah Crowns pattern made up in the outback colour way.Grab the patterns here,Waratah Crowns and Nine Birds.The second is the ever popluar Nine Birds pattern in the Eucalyptus colour way.These two quilts and all the original Terra Australis quilt patterns will be available as packs at the Quilt and Craft Fair which is on next week.

I think it is finally time for me to have a go at these hexigons. A nice little bit of handpiecing for me to take to sewing groups and while I am travelling.I have fussy cut some of the fabrics and love the look it gives.Just one question for all those hexi makers out there.Do you sew baste or glue the fabric to the paper hexigons?

I have spent the last week re-making two of Terra Australis quilt samples. All the samples we unfortunately lost on the trip back to Australia. They should be found but unfortunately not quick enough for the Australian Quilt Market which is on this weekend in Melbourne.Ella Blue has added all the designs from Terra Australis to their website. Pop on over and check out the range.One of the quilts I re-made was Nine Birds. The quilt just suits the Terra Australis range perfectly. Another quilt I re-made is Waratah Crowns. This uses the main print from Terra Australis which is perfect for fussy cutting. Grab the patterns!Nine Birds and Waratah Crowns
