<div style="text-align: center;">
All fabric $5.99 a metre. Will be $7.99 after today but they have this special every now and again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to get started on this one. The panel print is two big birds with 8 smaller ones. I will cut them all out then strip the coloured fabric in 1 to 2.5inch strips and add to the panels to make it a double or queen size quilt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so happy to see this. I had already purchased really wide curtain material to make a bedspread at $1.99 a metre down from $9.99 a metre and material to make kaftans. I was in the car and I notices this Jacobean print on the window. I had to go back in side and buy it.</div>

I have my latest art quilt home. After being shown in a show it was then chosen to go on show for a further 4 weeks.<br />It is the first I have made in about 18 months so I hope I am on my way with creating again. The theme was "Year of the Snake" and we were given a pack of items that we had to use in the making.</div>

Hello to my friends around the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After taking a year off from my love of art quits and quilting I am back. I have not posted on the blog or really done a lot at all. I needed this time to refresh and get a grip on what I wanted to do. Do I know yet NO. I have started working in another field but can do that part time and at my leisure so very happy with that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I decided not to rejoin my quilt groups as there was too many family pressures happening and other things in my life going on. I have been spending a lot of week days with a friend in Brisbane. She had a huge operation earlier this year. She is just about to have another operation this Monday. I guess I will be spending time with her again when she comes out of hospital. We love to quilt together and bounce off each other. We don't seem to get a lot done if not working together. I have just started to finish and quilt a few of my UFO. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will post a few of the things<em> </em>I have toyed with over the year. I have made a few teddy bears. I don't know why but crochet a lot of teapot cozies. They came in handy for Christmas presents last year.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Elephant for a challenge but I may have posted it before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as you can see I have not done a lot but I am hoping to start art quilting again soon. I do have one art quilt but it is on show with 3 of my dolls so I will have to wait till they arrive home to take pictures.</div>

Last Tuesday I had the opportunity to do a workshop with Fiona Jackson. Oh what a lovely day we had and a great teacher. I chose to have a kit and everything was in the kit. Right down to the threads freezer paper and pen and pencil. All I had to do was take the sewing machine and general sewing items and turn up. How easy is that?<br />
<br />

Hi I am back home after a 10 day break in Melbourne. I caught up with friends I had not seen for 9, 7 and 4 years. I stayed with my Internet friend of 12 years Pattie and her family. We have kept in contact all these years and have visited each other before. We had a lovely time and even walked Hanging Rock.</div>

It is beautiful weather up here on the Sunshine Coast. I love this time of the year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday I went to the beach for a few hours and walked then came back to the car and read for a while. The sun seems to get right into your bones when it is not burning hot. It makes me sleepy so then I have a good nights sleep.</div>

I took a group of people to our
lovely restaurant in Glenview last week.</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
I wish I would have taken a picture
of the meals as they look and tasted so good.</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
Here is a look at the setting and I
would recommend you go check it out.</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
Lovely atmosphere and food. I could
sit for hours in the setting.</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
They have catered for so much. A
small children enclosed area, an older children area with computer </div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
games,
smoker and pet area. NOW that is fantastic to see.</div>

<span>This is my Beauty from Ashes and I called him SOOTY. He is done on a piece of my sun dyed fabric. I think he looks a bit scared and just running out of a fire. I am still to put on his whiskers and do the edging. I am not sure if I will just bind it or add a black boarder and then do a scroll around the edge. I will post whatever I decide to do.</span></div>

Hi All</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had a great weekend away on retreat with the Palmwoods ladies. I had a class in quilling and braiding. I loved the quilling but the braiding will take a little practice to get right.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today Karyll and Alison at Palmwoods taught us how to make wool silk flowers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again I love this and so here is a picture. I did the red one in class and came home and made 5 more.</div>

I chose black and white but had no idea what I would do with the fat quater's until I saw Margot's quilt in this design. I loved the design and right away knew what I was doing with my black and white fat quarters. I also chose a red back background with small red cherries with green stems to give a splash of colour to the quilt.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hDue3qXVqUs/TeNeRUhO2fI/AAAAAAAAB1k/aH95fcOqfb8/s1600/P1030311.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hDue3qXVqUs/TeNeRUhO2fI/AAAAAAAAB1k/aH95fcOqfb8/s320/P1030311.JPG" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">I also made this little centre mat to match the table in the room.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J432WQKnxiM/TeNerL1YzEI/AAAAAAAAB1o/cMz5Ho1-GKA/s1600/P1030307.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J432WQKnxiM/TeNerL1YzEI/AAAAAAAAB1o/cMz5Ho1-GKA/s320/P1030307.JPG" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Keep stitching</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Delia</div>Delia (Del)http://www.blogger.com/profile/11441437497417250567noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079597370154593134.post-59585289448404840312011-05-24T20:16:00.001+10:002011-05-24T20:17:23.238+10:00Gelatin plate<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xLDUkHQCxWg/TduEn5RScHI/AAAAAAAAB1c/LshimtEg1oI/s1600/P1030302.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xLDUkHQCxWg/TduEn5RScHI/AAAAAAAAB1c/LshimtEg1oI/s320/P1030302.JPG" t8="true" width="320" /></a>Today I had heaps of fun in a Gelatin plate class with Michelle at Palmwoods.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">I had been wanting to try this technique out for ages but never got around to it.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">It is so easy.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">Recipe for the plate is 4 tablespoons gelatin and mix with 1 cup of boiling water to dissolve. Add 1 cup of cold water and pour into an ice cream container or similar and place in the fridge to set. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">Unmold and place some fabric paint on top ( you can use medium) and push it around to cover with the back of a plastic spoon.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">Now you can put a stencil on top and paper over a couple of time to take the excess paint off. You can use this paper to make cards later.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Put your fabric on top the plate and light rub to transfer the paint. You will get a few off the one rubbing and you can also use the stencil by putting them on the fabric a few times. Each time you will get a lighter design but still lovely.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I make the fabric from speciality wools. It is constructed on washaway and then gridded and stippled. I am wanting to make one for my granddaughter. I thinks she will just love being like Nana.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
