Looking forward...

I seem to be blogging a little less at the moment, which is due mostly to a very uncooperative computer. I know that some of you can relate to having a post almost ready to go when the "Blue Screen of Death" appears on the computer monitor. I think perhaps we need to have someone come look at the computer or maybe we should just compost it or something!

Anyway, on a less frustrating note, I thought I would share some of the fun things that are coming up in the next while. As you know, I have been busy on my "Advent Angels" wall quilt. You guessed it, it is also an advent calendar! It is looking so cute and will make a fab project for 2010. I will share more photos of this soon. I am also currently choosing the colours for my second range of fabric with LECIEN. The designs are done and I LOVE THEM! The colouring is so much fun. I have loved playing with colour since I was a little girl. In fact the first award I received in primary school was for mixing paint colours in Art class. It is amazing what some positive encouragement can mean to a young child. I grew up believing I was good with colour because of that wonderful Art teacher. Who knows what impact those words have made on my chosen creative path. I am very thankful for those words.

I am also proud to have been asked to participate in Quilt Fabric Delights "Bagalicious Club". Check this one out, as there are some fabulous designers involved.

 I will also be participating in Quilt Aid again next year. It was great to be involved this year and I believe that the donations made through World Vision for treatment of fistulas in third world countries made this project so worthwhile.

Leanne and I will be teaching in Townsville, Toowoomba and Nowra this year, as well as hopefully in New Zealand. I hope to catch up with some of you there.

I almost feel like I need a "Nanna nap" thinking of all the things that are coming up! In the meantime though, there is Christmas with friends and family and a beach holiday with Melly to look forward to!

Enjoy!

P.S. Have I ever told you how much I love Christmas candy canes? I just think they are the cutest things. I have just arranged several vases full of them in my Christmas home decorating. I think their red and white stripey-ness is sheer perfection!

Hi Rosie, I completely sympathise with your computer issues, mine most definitely has a mind of its own, and shuts down whenever it feels like it. It's a bloody nuisance.
I can't wait to see your next fabric line, and your angels advent calendar, are there any boy angels on it?
I saw the bagalicious club over on Melly's blog, it looks like soooo much fun.
Where are you teaching in Toowoomba, I'd like to see if I can come along to that.
Have a great Christmas and enjoy your beach break.
Hugs,
Kelly :-)

Happy Christmas Rosalie!

Enjoy playing with colours - that's my favorite bit of any type of Artistic endeavor. I had similar feedback as a child. I will look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I hope you work out your computing issues, and have a lovely beachy holiday.

I just bought your A Stitch in Time book and have been drooling over those gorgeous fabrics of yours as well as all the beautiful projects. Now, a second fabric range!!!! Wow!!! I really do need to write that fabric shopping list for the new year. Congratulations Rosalie.

Oh My! I hadn't even thought of candy canes. Of course, we don't have our tree yet either. :)

I'm very much looking forward to your next fabric line, as well as your advent calendar! :)

I am thinking that I would love to do your Advent Angels quilt ... when will it be released??

I have also been stitching up some little pouches with your beautiful laminated fabric - photos over at www.mycuttingandcreating.blogspot.com
