I trust my absence has made your heart grow fonder :)

busy busy here in my little studio at the bottom of the world preparing for Quilt Market in Melbourne this weekend. The four suitcases are almost packed, the studio is a mess and if it  isn't finished now then its not going to be..

If you follow me on Facebook then you would have seen some peeks of new projects I am releasing this weekend – there are a few on the website already but I promise I’ll show them all to you next week on my return. (If you are a Facebooker make sure to go ‘like’ the Hugs ‘n Kisses page – there are giveaways to be had there over the weekend)

Can I leave you with a photo sent in by a store of a fantastic, but very different version of Life is Beautiful – stitched by one of their customers…

life is beautiful

The creativity of our stitching minds is a wonderful thing and it is very inspiring when a stitcher takes my pattern and makes it their own..

If you are coming to market please come say hi, if not I’ll see you here next week

til then,

hugs

Helen
