Yes, it's been a while. I could possibly be the slackest blogger ever...
I am making a pledge here and now. I have challenged myself to make time to do a blog entry at least once a week. (Should I be putting this in writing?)
Here's an update of what I've been doing...
My friend Caryn and I had a blast at the Australasian Quilt Convention (AQC) in Melbourne a few weeks ago. Caryn is also my partner in our shop, Thread & Ginger. The Melbourne weather was lovely. A welcome contrast to our very constantly warm weather in Brisbane. We also met a lot of lovely new people at the show, as well as catching up with old friends.
I've been working day and night on the projects for my next book. Here's a sneak peak at one of the blocks from the quilt in the book.
The theme is... Things to be thankful for. Other projects so far, include a tablecloth, cushions, a cute rabbit, stitcheries, a bag, and bunting.
All going well, the book should be ready next month, in time for the Darling Harbour Trade show. So if you're coming to the show, pop in see us. My lovely husband Trevor (SuperTrev) and I will be manning the stand again this year. Our stand (Thread & Ginger) is in aisle I, near the entry to the quilt show.
Well, back to my stitching I go!
Natalie.
I went to the show for the first time last year and loved the Thread and Ginger Stall! I love the name too. I'll make a point of visiting again this year and saying Hi to SuperTrev :)

Thanks Sandy,
We look forward to seeing you. SuperTrev will be dressing inconspicuously, in everyday clothes, not his cape and blue suit.
Kind Regards, Natalie.
