Aussie Hero Quilt Top and EMG Visit

As I've finished my latest creation for magazines, I had a little time to work on my donation quilt. The top is now finished.

I was going for a green and gold look. The centre panels are of a wattle fabric which I picked up for a really good price recently.
I'm going to do an all over quilting pattern for a fast finish. I'll show you when it's complete.

Thusday I had a trip down to the offices of EMG magazines to drop of my latest quilt and to meet Melinda, Editor of Patchwork and Stitching Magazine. She is a lovely young lady and we had a nice littel chat. i didn't want to stay too long as I'd parked awkwardly and was afraid I'd get a ticket (I didn't thankfully). But I had enough time to also catch up with Marilyn (editor of Embroidery and Cross Stitch) and she has encouraged me to design some more designs for them. And I also caught up with Louise, assistant editor of Patchwork and Stitching and Victoria of Handmade.

As usual I came away so inspired to get cracking. I have two quilts with looming deadlines at the end of the month, but I do want to draw something to cross stitch too.

Luckilym things at the Pinnaroo child care centre have slowed down a bit again and I have a bit more time. I will be aiming to use it wisely!
