I got a lovely surprise in the mail; the latest copy of Homespun magazine.
Inside, my quilt Flying Home that I started last year sometime. I think I first mentioned it on Jan 1st, but I didn't finish the blocks until months later, and they were intended for the article by then so I couldn't talk about them.
Keryn pieced half the blocks-should I have given her credit? Nah, she didn't care.
Sometimes when I see my work photographed so beautifully I think "Did I do that?" and marvel because it looks so different.
Keryn and I keep trying to choose our favourite block, but it's too hard, they all turned out beautifully. The number of different fabrics in each block semed daunting at times, but it was worth it in the end. I love it.....except...
I intended to custom quilt this, but a number of customer quilts had to be done at just the wrong time. I had to put a panto on this just to get it finished, which disappointed me in lots of ways. Keryn says, "No Worries! We'll just make another one!" Hmm, we laid the blocks on some blue fabric before we chose this pinky red, perhaps a blue version next time?

Congratulations! It's a BEAUTIFUL quilt. Just stunning.
well done!! what excitement! that is a beauty of a quilt. I am the same with quilts sometimes, I wish I had done more, but with so many customers quilt, they come first, I figure at least they are quilted!
My goodness what a lot of piecing!!!
Stunning result.
Well done

Congratulations! The piecing is well done and I always love the scrappy blocks you and your sister do.
Wonderful - I love quilts with flying geese and this is so gorgeous. Will have to track the magazine down - we get them a few weeks after they're published xx
Beautiful! I don't know of any place that carries that magazine but I will find it. Wow, I love it. You and your sister make such beautiful quilts, you inspire me.
Wow! What a beautiful quilt. I love how you sisters help it other just like that! Off to Ericas to order a copy of homespun. I think homespun really tops most of the US magazines. It is really nice and we get to see the Australian unique country reproduction and primitive, I love it.
It looks fabulous!!!
Readers outside of Australia can readily source digital copies of the magazine from www.zinio.com The issue you are looking for is Vol 13 No 12.

Lovely lovely lovely, did I mention how lovely that quilt is?
I trotted over to the link for a digital copy but it doesn't offer Kindle and my OS is too old. too bad.
I know the cost of living in Australia is higher than ours and your cost of postage is awful but was quite shocked to see a subscription to Homespun is $267 a year on Amazon. Wow!
If you need anything from the States just let me know.
Best wishes for Christmas
