I saw this quilt hanging in the shop where I learnt quilting in late 2005. I admired the quilt every time I saw it and thought, one day, when my skills are good enough I want to make that quilt. Not too long after that the shop closed. I thought I had lost my chance to make that wonderful quilt.Imagine my delight when, just recently, I found out the pattern had been re-released! It arrived in the mail yesterday. Hommage to Sallie Ann is another design by Di Ford and the pattern is available from Threadbear in Castlemaine, Vic.
I can't wait to make a start on it, but I have quite a few other projects I am working on at the moment and I really need to finish something before starting another new quilt!
I have made a start on the next round of the Antique Quilt and my SSCS goodies are almost finished.
This is my favourite yellow rose. Its a David Austin rose called Graham Thomas. The bush has lots of buds at the moment, so I will have roses for a while.
just planted 4 David Austin Roses this week and I MUST get a Granham Thomas.........

How big of a quilt does that pattern make? It sure is lovely! I have never seen it before - possible because it is by an Australian designer?

Oooo wonderful pattern!! Are we suppose to get projects done before we start another? What an odd concept LOL.

Must admit: sometimes it works out well but the not always!! Enjoy make the gorgious quilt: you are an experienced quilted by now! Hugs and have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteMy friend Judi Kipling is visiting and was telling me about your blog. I saw these lovely roses and said, "that looks like a Graham Thomas English rose!" Lo and behold it is my most favorite rose, I have one alongside the back of my garage (gayraaj) and it loves it there. It is like a climbing rose and goes to the gutter of the roof!
ReplyDeleteWonderful stuff on your blog!
