Look at what you’re missing at the Melbourne AQCM show. We’re here and showing lots of ByAnnie products and quilts. Hitomi from QH Textiles has beautiful new Sasahiko panels. I’m in love with these fab new embroidery and quilting hoops from Hoop and Layer. Designed and made in Aus. Gorgeous designs from Sarah Fielke and Thats Accurate have some innovative new templates. So much colour on the Wonderfil Thread stand. It’s been great to catch up with shop owners again and there’s a happy buzz in the air. Thanks to all those shop owners who attended. We appreciate it. ...

I have just had the most fun and creative week teaching at Quilt Encounter in Glenelg SA. I can’t praise enough the wonderful women who volunteer their time to organise this yearly event. It is such a joy to be surrounded by enthusiastic quilters from all over Aus. Apologies for the lack of class photos but trust me all the quilts and ByAnnie bags turned out a treat. So fun to turn your stash of fat quarters into a treasured quilt. The last three images are my quilts which are now available as a pattern from your local quilt shop. Also thanks for the awesome view from my room 😍 ...

Not too many sleeps now till @tulapink Untamed will be in Aussie quilt shops. ByAnnie and Tula are a match made in heaven. It was so much fun choosing colourful combinations from the collection and True Colours. Travel in style with the Ultimate Travel bag, Back at Ya, Hold Everything for your bits and pieces or sewing and Travel Essentials. @tulapink @patternsbyannie @xlnfabrics @freespiritfabrics.

And that’s a wrap. Quilt Encounter 2024 was fantastic and I can’t praise the volunteers who organised such an amazing event enough. My class of Byannie bag makers had the best three days and I loved their creativity. Big smiles all round when they left with a finished #ultimatetravelbag. Thanks to all who made it so special 😍#quiltencounter2024 ...
