Then the next weekend, we will hold our 14th exhibition here at QITB,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which will also be our last exhibit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you had even planned to visit one of our exhibits, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this is your LAST CHANCE. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We plan to fill the barn to the brim with beautiful antique quilts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leah will be on hand all weekend, and will take mini tours through the barn,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sharing her passion for antique quilts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As well as our usual team of amazing ladies who help each year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Come along and enjoy all we have to share.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you would like to share our flyer on your blog, or elsewhere on social media, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
please feel free to use these photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The more people who attend our exhibit, the better,</div>

Its been a busy, busy few couple of weeks,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with a house full of international and interstate visitors,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all who have now returned home, leaving the house strangely quiet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So time to play a little catchup on our goings on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Several blog posts coming in the following days, will of course, be a surprise after weeks of silence! So enjoy....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A lovely bunch of ladies joined us for Jo's workshop a few weeks back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the lovely display Jo made with her quilts using the stamp sets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm looking forward next year to swing some of these.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been missing in action!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With no real excuse!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than busy, busy, busy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you miss me? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life has a habit of plowing along at full steam,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even when sometimes we just want to stop and smell the roses. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its been a full year, as well as a difficult year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just after my last post we lost my Father-in-law, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then followed a week later with the passing of my 18yr old nephew.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One could say that took the wind out of my sails for a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And blogging was the last thing on my list of important stuff to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had an email or 2 asking if we are having our quilt exhibition this year,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and l guess that's been the prompt I've needed to get</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
back on here and get writing and sharing again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, no blog post from me is not complete without photos,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so l am sharing a few close ups from this years raffle quilt.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The quilt has been designed and made by Jenny Bear, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with all <a href="http://jomortonquilts.com/">Jo Morton</a> fabrics, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then machine quilted by Debbie Burville ( <a href="http://quiltsfromnanastrunk.blogspot.com.au/">Quilts From Nana's Trunk</a>) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fussy cutting by Jenny has to be seen to be believed, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and so as you can see by the photos I'm sharing, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
its a truly stunning quilt,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and both ladies have gone above and beyond my expectations with this quilt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their collaboration on this quilt has been amazing! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The full quilt will be revealed soon! Promise! </div>

Our special guest this year is Jo Morton.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many of you may have visited us back in 2011 when Jo was our special guest then.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loved her time here with you Aussie girls so much, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she jumped at the chance to make a return visit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this time we are planning some workshops with her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Details will be released at the end of the week.</div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Excitement is growing here at Quilts In The Barn!!</span></strong> </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Its only 3 weeks till we open the barn doors on what is shaping up to be an amazing exhibition.<br />
</div>
<div align="center">
Featuring the quilts of Marg Sampson-George </div>
<div align="center">
( an amazing teacher from the Blue Mountains in Sydney) and her students, </div>
<div align="center">
there has been many sneak peaks flashing around Instagram </div>
<div align="center">
and other social media, as many continue to progress towards finished quilts to display.<br />
<br />
The lovely <a href="http://linenandraspberry.blogspot.com.au/">Jean</a>, and <a href="http://www.broderie.typepad.com/">Liz</a>, along with Marg are the main organisers behind this exhibition.<br />
These 3 ladies have stitched their little fingers off over the Christmas break<br />
to make a stunning raffle quilt, which was hand quilted by Trish Harper,<br />
that one very lucky person will win.<br />
Raffle tickets are selling fast, and they can be found in many quilt shops,<br />
both here in Victoria and other states.<br />
The list can be found on the back of the flyer. <br />

During my lovely restful time over the Christmas break,<br />
l decided to get a head start on some stitching. Seeing as l didn't have my<br />
complete collection of fabric with me, l decided that these lovely<br />
Laundry Basket fabrics l had brought with me were the perfect beginning,<br />
to be added to along the way. <br />

And we had a special visit from Narelle Birchall from Cooma in NSW, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who brought along her completed <a href="https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/estheraliubom/info">Love Entwined</a> top,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pattern by<a href="http://estheraliu.blogspot.com.au/"> Esther Aliu</a>, who was also here to see it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was quite a buzz, and we were thrilled when her hubby</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pegged it on the fence for us all to admire and take photos! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then after all the quilts were pulled down, sorted into piles, some collected, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
many returned to my house, all the chairs stacked, the tables folded back up,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the final washing of cups and saucers, all the last cakes and slices tidied away, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the tea towels put in the wash, the props returned to their rightful places, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and many other chores that just magically happen, it was time for a QUIET drink!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
( did l really just say that?? ) and a wee celebration for a wonderful weekend!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These ladies below, including several husbands, and MANY OTHERS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who were not able to join us, are the light of my life!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They pitch in when ever something needs doing, they are the first to volunteer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when a task is too big for me to handle on my own. They distribute raffle tickets,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they hang quilts, they help in the general setup for the weekend,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they put up signs to help make finding us easy,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they set up tables and chairs, they help park multitudes of cars, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they make cakes and slices, they make a million cups of tea, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they wash countless cups and saucers, they shop for supplies when needed, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they sell raffle tickets and collect entry money, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they make thousands of sandwiches, no task is too big or too small, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and they work in amazing harmony, with no orders needing to be issued, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just knowing what needs to be done to make it all work, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they laugh, they share the good times, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they are each and everyone of them so VERY SPECIAL to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And they all know l can't do it without them! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are the QITB team!! l stand and applaud them!! </div>

award, that is presented to an individual, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who goes above and beyond the call of duty </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the lead up and across the weekend of QITB. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its one of my most difficult tasks to choose just one winner, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as there are so many deserving winners.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But l can only choose one as there is only 1 trophy! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This years recipient, Glenda, became my right hand!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Right from the start, she volunteered for many, many tasks,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and completed them always with a smile on her face,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and an extra idea for the weekend. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
l love and appreciate </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Here is a little about Patty that can be found</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"> on the State Museum of Pennsylvania website.</span></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
Patty is an artist, and fabric is her pallet. She graduated from Wayne<br />
State University, Detroit, Michigan with a BFA, leading to a teaching career,<br />
for several years, in Michigan, Ohio and Massachusetts. She has studied the folk<br />
art of every location she has visited, and has chosen the appliqué quilt as her<br />
grandest medium. Her artistic hands have explored various aspects of old world<br />
techniques, such as decoupage, gold leafing, egg shell inlay and much more. <br />
Patty specialized in historic restoration and interior decoration leading her to every<br />
facet of design as well as quilting. The appliqué quilt, however, has claimed her<br />
attention and after many years of lovingly creating her owns works, she began<br />
reproducing the antique and truly unique quilts found woven<br />
into the history of the United States. <br />
<br />
<div class="bodytext1">
Patty claims to own the greatest fabric collection in the quilt world.</div>
<div class="bodytext1">
Anyone who has been in her studio has to agree. Her studio, full of fabric,</div>
<div class="bodytext1">
patterns and pattern books, family mementos, and numerous quilts in varying </div>
<div class="bodytext1">
stages of completion, is a mixture of artistic creation, color and beauty.</div>
<div class="bodytext1">
Walking through the studio, she may stop to arrange a baby quilt she is</div>
<div class="bodytext1">
producing for the child of a friend, and then will stop to straighten</div>
<div class="bodytext1">
the corners of an incredible reproduction of an antique quilt.</div>
<div class="bodytext1">
She has a bulletin board with quilt pieces pinned in place in</div>
<div class="bodytext1">
order to test each individual design. </div>
<div class="bodytext1">
</div>
</div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
The State Museum of Pennsylvania has a fabulous quilt collection and <br />
has generously allowed Patty the opportunity to reproduce two of their quilts: <br />
The Rebecca Kohler Baby Quilt, 1832; and now The Wickersham Signature Quilt.<br />
The Chintz Medallion Quilt, 1825, is in process. <br />
<br />
<div class="bodytext1">
Reproducing the Wickersham Signature Quilt required Patty to painstakingly</div>
<div class="bodytext1">
trace the quilt and the quilting at the museum. She began hand tracing, </div>
<div class="bodytext1">
while wearing gloves to protect the original. After several days of tracing, </div>
<div class="bodytext1">
Patty carried the patterns back to her studio where she reproduced the quilt </div>
<div class="bodytext1">
using only her notes and a single photograph of the quilt to verify the </div>
<div class="bodytext1">
use of correct fabrics and appliqué styles.<br />
</div>
This loving reproduction of the Wickersham Signature Quilt is a tribute<br />
to the descendants of the early Americans, and an invitation to those who<br />
came to our shores later (as did Patty's family) to join in the wonderful<br />
traditions of the United States of America. Each piece is truly unique,<br />
and these pieces joined together create something bigger<br />
and stronger than any single design.<sp class="bodytext1"> </sp><br />

<div align="center">
l managed to spend some hours in my sewing room over the weekend, </div>
<div align="center">
tidying and hanging a few new gifted quilts on my Great Wall of Quilts. </div>
<div align="center">
l love looking at my wall. There are so many wonderful memories tied up with these quilts.</div>
<div align="center">
Quilts made by friends and gifted to me, quilts made together with friends. </div>
<div align="center">
Quilts from patterns that were gifts.</div>
<div align="center">
All the quilts have a special meaning to me in one way or another. </div>
<div align="center">
And its a huge inspiration when l walk in the room.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
During my tidy spree l came across parts and elements </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from a quilt l had published late last year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
l always make sample blocks and bits that they photograph.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This particular one was based on an antique quilt in my collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So l finished sewing all the elements together, and this is what l have.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will be a small version of the original quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And another great quilt to put on the wall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is an update on my hexi's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Current count is 68 complete, and 8 centres.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Almost half way!!! Woo Hoo! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am still on target for 1 per day since l started.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its now become a multi container quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To keep on track and see what needs doing and where l am going,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
l keep my reds and creams in 1 tin. The second tin is now holding the pathway,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which l will continue to cover. I will start adding them to the centres soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
l have also been busy cutting new fabrics to add. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And if you look closely you can see l am adding a few browns. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are some brown flowers in the original quilt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
l will make them and decide at a later date if they make the cut.</div>

While enjoying a stitching day at <a href="http://www.millrosecottage.com.au/">Millrose </a> in Ballan on Sunday, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
l took my hexi flowers for a walk around the shop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
l found 2 that l liked, so l put it to the other girls stitching with me to help.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The decision was unanimous!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So l am happy to report that l have finally found the fabric l want to use as my pathway!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
l set to on Tuesday, covering a handful to test them out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the result! l couldn't be more happy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Love them, and love what they bring to the flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
l originally bought 2 metres, then yesterday bought 2 more, just in case!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can a girl ever have enough of a great fabric?? LOL</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then l have tons more prepped and ready to pick up and go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
l take my tin of fabric and papers with me everywhere, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and when ever l have a few minutes of down time, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And now l also have to confess that l have a new hexi addiction!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When l was in France a few years ago, l fell in love with these blue Liberty fabrics. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
l chose 3 solids to go with them and put them in a case to make a French memory quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When l came home l went through my meagre Liberty stash and pulled out some extras.</div>

Winter starts in less than a week, so its time to change out my </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
antique quilt for a new one that reflects the coming season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
l chose this one as firstly l love the brown fabrics,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and secondly in winter there is not much colour in the garden,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so these pops of orange are wonderfully warming.</div>

l started making these hexagon's about 2 weeks ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But lets back up a bit. l saw an antique hexagon quilt in October last year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was pretty stunning!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of us decided to reproduce it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But l guess l have to back up even more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My good friend Kathie, who many of you know from </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Inspired By Antique Quilts blog, gifted me a box full of red fabrics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of older reproduction re fabrics!! l feel in love when</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
l opened that box of fabrics, and just knew </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that l needed to use them in a very special quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that takes us back to the antique quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as soon as l saw THAT quilt. l knew what fabrics l had to use!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Those very special fabrics from Kathie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And while l make this quilt, l will stitch memories of our friendship,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the friendships of all my quilty girlfriends into it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was yardage of several of the fabrics, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so l shared them with the other girls who saw the antique quilt with me,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and we all embarked on the journey to make the quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Only l put the fabrics aside, and was distracted by other stuff!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Quilty stuff!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then about 3 weeks ago, we had a sewing retreat at Sorrento.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
l knew that it was a good time to start the hexi journey of this quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the other ladies on the retreat is also making the quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We could encourage each other. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Only l was distracted by a request from some dear friends to help make a quilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the fabrics were put aside again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally over Easter break, those fabrics just couldn't wait any longer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So on a cool Good Friday afternoon, while the family</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
had gone to watch a local footy game, l began. </div>

We make these available for sale at events, </span></strong><a href="http://www.clothandcompany.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: black;">online</span></strong></a><strong><span style="color: black;"> or from our studio.</span></strong></span><br />
