Getting Involved... Works in progress.

Rowan the creator of "A Day in the Country" fabrics stopped in at the shop on his way back from Thailand to show us a few things he has been working on. Rowan just had this quilt made using the new range of plain fabrics he has developed....


Wow, we love the colours Rowan has selected and the way he has used these plains with this simple log cabin design to create this eye catching quilt. 



We are very excited about Rowan's new range of plains that will be available soon... 



His colours are very fresh & hit the nail on the head - perfect for our shop!


"Can't wait till they arrive"


Wendy came into Materialise and saw some cushions Sophie had made with an oriental flavour


Wendy then chose a selection of Yuwa fabrics from the "Itaya Naomi Collection" to make her cushions.  


Wendy attended some 'one on one' classes with Sophie and learnt to piece this cool cushion front in 'boho style'



choosing this simple quilting detail....


the quilting is simple yet really comes to life with the amazing violet colour thread selected by Wendy...


Glenis had a hankering to make a clown cushion for her daughter who really loves clowns....

Glenis set about choosing just the right prints to bring her clown to life. 

Earlier this year Glenis also used this Liberty fabric "Birdsong" and appliqued this gorgeous cushion for her own enjoyment. 

Both pieces are beautifully executed. Made with Love

Lucy girl is now onto her 2nd quilt at the ripe old age of 19. 

This "work in progress" is being designed as a special gift for a little friend.


Lucy has chosen exceptionally well..... And is seriously enjoying putting this quilt together in the store with Sophie.....
