I had visited Marilyn from The Patchwork Teahouse in Warburton, and whilst there, we had a discussion about the new French general fabrics from Moda, called Bon Voyage. Marilyn sent me some of the fabric when it arrived in the shop, and I have been happily playing with them. Made these, -- which is another version of the Blue Heart designs I had made previously,-- and they have got a pattern and hopefully, Marilyn will have time to cut up some of her fabrics as a kit for them. Otherwise, I am sure she will have the kits of this fabric in her online shop, once she is back from Adelaide. She will be attending the Quilt Show in Adelaide next week-- so make sure you drop in to see her and say Hello.

I was madly packing the patterns in their packets last night, and today they are off to the post office on their way to Victoria, then Adelaide. They are doing more travelling than I am!
The second deadline I have is to send a quilt and matching cushions off to Homespun magazine by mid July. I have completed them, written the pattern and all the other things that need to be done for the project and they will also go to the Post Office --on Thursday. I would like to take a photo of them because it will be awhile before they come home again. Unfortunately, I cannot show them off just yet -- am busting to do so-- but need some patience!
Once these are done-- I might be able to go back to a slower pace again. I am such a slow stitcher-- that is the problem. And of course, writing a pattern up is just so time consuming as I am paranoid about making a mistake.
Next project in mind is a Christmas one, I think.
P/S I do have a spare painted button for the Red Embroidered cushion, so if anyone would like to win the pattern with the button, please leave a comment for a chance to win it.
Cheers,
Yvonne

Dear Yvonne,
zour makings with the french floral fabrics are just lovely. You sure have been busy. I am looking forward to the pictures you can't show yet, you have gotten me quiet nosy.
Don't add me in the drawing, since I own one of your beautiful buttons already and others should be as happy as I was when I received it. Looking at the button often.
Greetings,
Sylvia
