Bohemian quilt Block 4 added to the store

With my machine out of order since September 2024, I wasn't able to continue with this quilt blocks.  But I am back on track and was able to add Block 4.

Block 4 $1.75 until Block 5 is released.

With me officially out of work/on pension I can now focus on digitizing solely and be able to produce these blocks faster which will be 40 in total.  They would all make beautiful quilts, cushion covers etc.

I am also awaiting the arrival op my brand new Brother Luminaire XP1 which include all the bells and whistles upgrading her to a XP3.  Exciting times!

Members only design uploaded to my store

With my Brother Innovis 4000 machine out of order since September 2024, I was just able to complete the Members only design I needed to upload by 20 February to avoid paying a penalty.  I am completely in love with this design.  I am however not allowed to sell it or even give it away for free.  If you want it, just sign up as a member of Oregon Patchworks and download it for free.

I am still deciding what I am going to do with this one, maybe embroider a few more and stitch into a runner.  Now that my machine is working again, it is pure bliss.  

As the parts wasn't available locally, I had to get them from the USA and England.  The machine spend hours in the repair shop but under Paul van Niekerk's very capable hands he was able to fix everything                                                                            turning this

back into this. 

                                               An amazing piece of work by a master.

 

Fabric Origami Basket

At our last meeting of 2024, our quilting group, the Rotary Cutters, made some fabric origami baskets.  Starting off with 2 squares and after folding and ironing multiple times, we ended up with a cute little basket.
