DiT's Row
Finally here is Di's row. The pattern is Carnival from the Quilter's Cache. It is all paper pieced, BUT somehow I seem to have made 2 of the blocks twirl in the opposite direction. Do you want me to redo them Di and post them on later? There were quite a few pieces in each block but the pattern goes really well with the other blocks in Di's row. I chose this pattern because it was exhibition time when I received the Diary to start the row. The dark blue I chose to represent the night sky and the twirling wheels, represent the Ferris wheel and other whirling rides at the show AND the fireworks that are so much a part of the evening entertainmet there.
Hope you like the row DI.

Jam-Mam's Aussie Christmas row
Jam-mam's Aussie Christmas Row
Finally I have finished the work on Jam-mam's row. (Jammy don't read any further if you want to be surprised when your parcel arrives)I chose to do an Australian Christmas theme with native flowers - (most flowering about Christmas time) for the first and last blocks. Then, a "Carols by Candlelight" block, a surfing Santa block, a decorated Queenslander is the final choice for block 4. In all I used over 30 different Christmas fabrics to 'paint' my blocks. Most of the applique is buttonhole applique, with the exception of the centre block. I have used embroidery, and beads to embellish the blocks just a little. Hope you like it Jacqui.

Here's a photo of the lovely row I received today from Belle, as well as all the great work in pieceing the block Belle has added buttons and even little gifts from the Magi under the manger! I really like this row a LOT and I am beginning to see how my quilt will come together now. Thank you so much Belle, better go plan a row for you now! :o)
