Today I am going to share with you the fabric designs that are in my 2nd range of fabrics, Terra Australis 2.I wanted to design a range of fabrics that complimented the first range but also stood alone as a range. The colours co-ordinate with the first but I have added some yellow in the Desert Sands colourway and a rich royal blue in the Rainforest colourway.Terra Australis 2 should be in Australian stores by now and just arriving into US stores this week.Check my stockist page to find a store near you.The first design is the Terra Circles print that has elements from both ranges. Gum Flowers is a larger repeat showcasing the gorgeous gum flowers on a background of gum leave.A fun deisgn is of course the Geckos that are on a background that represents the cracked earth. The Wattle is print is one of my favourites especially in the black and grey colourway. The Boomerang print has great movement and is a great one to piece with. The Gum Leaf print is a great tone on tone print and the range of colours it comes in is fabulous. I also kept the stipe that I used in the first range and added the True Blue colourway.I love stripes in quilts, espcially in the binding. 

As Terra Australis 2 is being released into Australian stores this week I thought I might share the free pattern I designed for this range. Click here to download the PDF pattern for this quilt. Boomerangs - Desert Sands Boomerangs - Rainforest I hope you enjoy making this quilt!

A couple of weeks ago, Terra Australis 2 made it's debut at Fall Quilt Market in Pittsburg. This is the 2nd range of fabrics that I have designed and it follows on from the first range of Terra Australis.I wasn't able to travel to America but lucky I had the great team at Ella Blue and the wonderful Rosalie Quinlan (who also designs fabric for Ella Blue) looking after the set up. They did an awesome job and to prove it the booth was awarded 2nd place in the double booth catagory.My end of the Ella Blue booth. These Australia Map cushions will be a free pattern on my blog very soon.You can see to the right side of the photo, a re-make of Lime and Soda. This is one of my most popular patterns and I still love making them. I think the rainforest colourway looks great in the circle design.This is Rosalie's end of the booth displaying her new range of fabrics, Folk Festival.And last but not least, a photo of the ribbon and plaque that the booth won!

I have had lots of interest in my new quilt pattern, Australis Blooms.I made this quilt using Terra Australis 2. This range will be available July/August this year but I had so many requests for the pattern I decided to release it early. Enjoy.Australis Blooms Quilt pattern can be purchased here.

When designing Terra Australis I came up with so many fabric design concepts that I couldn't use them all in the first range. So I knew I had to design a follow up range that I called Terra Australis 2.I have had the sampling fabric for this range for a couple of weeks and have been very busy designing new quilts. Here are a few photos of what I have been making.Terra Australis 2 will be available in store July / August this year.
