Amitie Textiles

Its all about the fabric.

Our great friend Jenny has been down from Sydney for a much loved visit and as usual she bought with her a car full of enthusiasm! (Her fabric stash is greater than this store.I know I can say this as I doubt Ron would read this blog.) The beaut thing about Jen is that she really does just love sharing. She made both these while she was in town.

This Irish Chain is made with Kaffe Fasssett fabrics.

She purchased these here one day and was back the next with the top made up. A bit disappointing it wasn't hand quilted as well.

This quilt is made using Design House Quilt pattern "Starpoint Rouge" by Trish Harper. The original is made in red tones but this brave quilter challenged the boundaries.

Living Creatively

Last week was so much fun. A more talented group of ladies I have never had the pleasure of working with. Thanks to Angela and her team for the oportunity. This fun photo is of all the gals in the "tote area". Odds on we will have some more good times together.

Tokyo

We had a fantastic night with the gorgeous Chi and Shiro.

We awoke to snow. It was only light and didn't last long but looked wonderful.

We Aussies get around

The spectacular Art Deco Isetan Department store. It is worth being there at 10am for the opening ritual!!

The absolute highlight for me in Tokyo was the SUMO. I went along reluctantly and ended up a fan. If you get to see this I think you are very lucky.
