Last weekend I went with 2 of my lovely friends down to Urban Stitches in Melbourne. It was at the Novatel in Glen Waverley - great location and easy to find. Melanie Dekker of "
Melly & Me", Leanne Beasley of "
Leannes House" and Rosalie Quinlan of "
Rosalie Quinlan Designs" were the three designers there. They all had their beautiful samples & quilts on display which were just amazing. I don't know how these ladies find the time to do all this amazing work! We also received goodie bags filled with three fully kitted patterns - one from each designer, plus all the threads, some fabrics, needles and scissors. We had a lovely day stitching, shopping (
Under the Mulberry Tree had a shop setup) and indulging in a beautiful lunch and just relaxing and taking some time out for ourselves.
Just some of the samles and quilts on display

I managed to start stitching Melly's project which is a beautiful bag with embroidery on the front called 'Birds of a Feather'. Thanks girls for a lovely day out stitching!
Happy Sewing!

Ahhhh Jody - I have to say a big thank you to you and Jenelle too - I had the best day. LOL also thanks for putting up the photo of Jenelle and I - it's actually not a bad photo. I started madly stitching "Birds of a Feather" on Thursday for a friends daughter's birthday next weekend - I'm hoping to have it finished in time (nothing like a last minute thing huh!!)
ReplyDeleteI must say I had a fabulous day out with the two of you. Thank you so much for the invitation, and lets hope we can do it all again next year...
Deleteoh yes definitely - we should do it again next year if we can.
