New Designs Released

Hi Everyone,
I am very excited to share with you the latest release of Paisley Jam Designs patterns. We have been very busy finishing off bindings and writing patterns.
The first design is for those of us that love dragonflies.
These are photos I have shared some time ago as sneak peeks.




Dragonfly Trail

I have fallen in love with this quilt. I love the luscious green tones against the black batik and the dragon flies flitting over the quilt surface. I hope you like it too.

The next Design I wanted to show how effective it can be to use a border print fabric. I choose a lovely Jinny Byer border print and then used some of her yummy Byer Pallet fabrics picking out the colours in the border fabric. This design is the result, a quick and easy generous sized table runner.

Quick and easy to quilt in the ditch.

Not the best photo, but we found table runners hard to take photo's of when they are so long.

The next design was not designed by me, but by my husband, who is my business partner in running Patchwork By Sea and also my amazing pattern writer.This is Terry's first solo design, although he has had some input in some of my designs. It has had many complimentary comments as it has been worked on and hanging in the shop and some customers cheekily telling him to hurry up and write the pattern :)

hello

Hello everyone,
                        Sorry for my tardiness but I lead a busy life and had minor sickness in our house. All seems to be on the mend now.

I was privileged to have a customer bring in two quilts she made from my Steps to the Past pattern. One made in Japanese fabric that I helped her choose to make the quilt and the other was made using a layer cake. Both so very different from the two quilts I have made so I asked if I can share them with you. So here are Bronwyn's quilts for you to admire.

Stunning in Japanese Fabrics



This one is a layer cake and we picked a nice contrast.


I am currently busy working on new Block of the month samples for the shop. You can see pictures we are sharing in Patchwork By Sea 's Facebook page so why not pop by and like the page so you can see updated photos as we share new ones.
You can also see the Block of the months Here.


Hope you have a wonderful day where ever you are :)

Surprise for Christmas

One evening the week before Christmas we were home from work, having a cuppa and watching the news with dinner in the oven. There was a knock  at the door.
Guess who was at my door ???
Our son Rob his wife Joey and our darling little grandson Jaxon come to surprise us and stay for Christmas!!! Yay !!! here I was thinking they would be in New Zealand and we were having a quiet Christmas! 
Christmas for me has always been about Family.  So having all my little family together for Christmas  made it the best EVER.
Here is a photo of Jaxon on Christmas day. He also rolled over onto his tummy for the first time on Christmas day while his Nanny & Poppy were watching :)


Look how cute he is and how much he has grown since I saw him in October. He is a big boy of 4 months old with his own passport to fly to New Zealand on.


Saying goodbye at the airport is a hard thing to do, trying to hold back the tears and be brave. This Nanny failed! as they left us to fly to NZ
Jaxon his Daddy and Poppy.


Looking forward to hearing and seeing photo's of the fun they had in NZ




Happy New Year wishes to you  for 2015 from my family to yours.

Hope you have a wonderful day where ever you are :)
