Many thanks to you who answered my quest for Australian fabric. What a wonderful trip my family had visiting our DD who is attending Veterinary School at the University of Sydney (she is there for 5 years, lucky girl!). So my DD and I snuck away for the morning to check out
http://www.patchworkfabrics.com.au/ and
http://www.quiltsmith.com.au/. Unfortunately Quiltsmith was closed for two weeks so we ventured over to Logan’s Patchworks. We meet the owner, Margaret Kirkby, and her wonderful staff. They spent time with us as we saw beautiful fabrics. Our interest was the Aboriginal prints to make my DD a quilt. We bought a package of assorted Aboriginal 7” squares for the front and fat quarters for the back of the quilt to show off more Aboriginal prints. We choose a pattern that Margaret designed herself (and bought 2 more for my quilting DF back home and had her sign all of them!! too much fun!). I changed up Margaret’s patterns to show more of the design on the prints and used the fat quarters on the front instead of the back as originally planned. As you see I need more fabric, but my DD will not be home until Christmas so I’m posting now (you see blank areas on the quilt). It will have black borders. When our other two DD (who traveled with us) saw the quilt, they want one too!! I’m sure our DS (who also traveled with us) will want one too when he sees it!! Guess I’ll have to go back to Australia!!!!
It’s my first time uploading pictures so please bear with me.
