The 12 days of Christmas stitch-a-long
Join with Helen to stitch your very own version of our 12 days of Christmas quilt. Choose stitchery, colourque or applique - or a combination of all to complete your blocks each month for a whole year. Helen will demo the stitches, how to colourque and how to applique if you desire - as she stitches each block with you during the program. You do not need to purchase a separate pattern, they will all be here for you to download and trace - or you can order iron on transfer or applique paper templates to go along with it. Just signup and we will be holding your hand every step of the way. Classes will begin in 2021.

Stordalen garden
am so thrilled you have decided to take on this challenge and make your own work of memories. This quilt was designed in respect of my Mum & Dad’s beautiful garden. I grew up with a veggie patch, large expanses of green lush lawn and flower beds. When they ‘retired’ to town they built over 20 years their haven - over an acre of garden rooms, 500+ roses, garden art, places to rest, places to reflect and of course Dad’s very productive veggie patch. I have taken my modern day techniques and simple methods and drawn simpliflied floral blocks
