Just before all this happened we found out that we had a drainage problem with cracked pipes and a blockage and part of our paving had to be dug up and repairs made to our drainage system. We had a plumber here for 5 days and it cost $8,000!
I feel as if we have come out on the other side of the drama and life is getting back to normal now.
The latest Quilters Companion Great Australian Quilts no. 7 has arrived at newsagents and I have a project in it called Country Calls.

Quilters Companion contacted me earlier this year and asked me to make a crazy quilted wall hanging with an Australian theme.

I included all the instructions for foundation piecing the background and a full size pattern but for some reason they didn't publish it and just wrote that knowledge of foundation piecing is assumed!
It is set out nicely and includes some close up photos over 7 pages of the magazine.
Here are some photos that I took of the project.
The magazine is good value with projects by Sue De Vanny, Deb Layt, Dijanne Cevaal and
Margaret Rowe, who writes the Australian based quilting novels and as well as lots of other projects.
I am sure you won't be disappointed.
Bye for now,
Linda

I'm sorry things have been so rough. Why is it that everything seems to happen at once? At least there is the good news of your project being published now. Your work is always so beautiful and this wall hanging is exquisite!
Thanks Nestki, it was a difficult few weeks, but I'm feeling well now. It does seem that everything happens at once sometimes.
Would it be possible to have the pattern for Country Calls, as this is one project I would love to make, when I was looking through my magazine.

I am so glad that you love the project Dorothy. I have signed a contract with the magazine saying that I cannot release the pattern until 2 months after the publication date. If you are still interested next year, please send me an email. My email address is on my website. Thank you
Congratulations on having one of your beautiful patterns published. I'll grab a copy of the magazine at the newsagent here next week, if they have any left.
I empathise with your recent losses....we have lost three friends to cancer within two weeks this year.
As for the weather, it looks like mother nature hasn't finished with us yet! More wind and rain this weekend :-( Hope you don't have any more damage to your property.
Hi Gina, it's strange how deaths often happen in threes. I am sick of this cold weather, I think that we are going to miss spring this year. Let's hope we get a summer
