\"\"<\/a>I had hoped to get this blog posted a week earlier, but as you can see above, I have been busy. In fact, I have been half way around the world and back! I have just returned from an extraordinary trip to Melbourne, Australia to teach at the Austalasian Quilt Convention. This was the first trip to Australia for both Velda Newman and myself and we had to keep pinching ourselves to make sure we weren’t dreaming.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is the lovely restored convention center where the event was held. The vendors were housed on the main floor and the classrooms overlooked from above. The Australian quilters<\/p>\n

greeted us with enthusiasm and their unique sense of humor and kindness. It was a memorable trip and I look forward to my next visit which is scheduled for July 2010.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>Even though it was summer in Australia, it is still winter back home! So we have some new winter wraps to show you. Above, Willow models a cozy coordinating hat and scarf. The hat is knitted of fluffy fat yarns and decorated with yoyo flowers with button centers. The scarf is lined with matching dark green polar fleece for warmth and faced with Prairie Gothic’s \u00a0Sweet Potato Vine in the Dusky colorway. The striped ruffle adds some femininity and snap.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here we added a quilted purse to the mix. All very rich in color and very wearable.
\"\"<\/a>This new cowl scarf makes a versatile wrap. It can be buttoned or unbuttoned in any combination, depending on the weather or the look you want. I like to wear it so the loose ends form a cozy collar or dickey effect. This scarf is lined with butterscotch polar fleece.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>This pink ensemble predicts the arrival of spring! The saucy little cap and scarf combine several Prairie Gothic fabrics in the Strawberry colorway. Pink polar fleece makes sure that the outfit is energy efficient.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another cowl scarf, this time sewn up in the Midnight Teasel and Lace fabric with a checkered accent. This combination supplies comfort with “attitude”, my favorite fashion statement!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here we have yet another fabric mix, this time in the Dusky colors. A fun accent for that formal camels hair coat or a casual lambs down jacket. If you have to keep warm, you may as well have fun and look good doing it! Thanks to Susan Tempin and Melissa Peda for your excellent sewing skills and attention to detail, as always!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
