This weeks Show and Tell is a quilt pattern designed by Miss Rosies Quilt Co, called Elizabeth. I just love this Wuthering Heights fabric and I am very sentimental about 3 sisters, being the eldest of three sisters myself. I thought this pattern would be a good challenge for me, but really it was very achievable and not as tricky as I thought. It was so windy outside when I took this pic that I had to tie the clothesline to the passionfruit support wires!
I must be feeling like I am getting on top of the sewing because I have signed up for Katy's Russian Doll Swap and tried to encourage Maree to do the Star Quilt quiltalong after seeing it on Carey's blog. I have a few metres of freshly washed white cotton on the washing line - shame I forgot that I have no white thread though!
There are only 5 rows to go on my Ruth's Quilt from Leanne Beasleys "Living the Dream" to go. Has anyone had this quilt machine quilted? I'm not sure whether to go edge to edge over the embroidery or not.
Check out the giveaway at the Quilting B - Bernadette is giving away $100 of machine quilting for first prize, and a fabric stash for second. WOW!
And the finished stitchery from last week!

Beautiful quilt..........loved that range and scored some for free when a lady sent the wrong order from the states and told me to keep it...........
Love Wuthering heights, I have 2 quilts in it... your Lime and Soda quilt top looks great. You are very organised achieving all you do !
Your Elizabeth quilt is gorgeous Rachel. You really are very productive.
Your quilt is stunning! I wish I had a fraction of your talent and productivity! I'm even more scared of making you a mini quilt now!!! Lucy xx
Just love that quilt, it is gorgeous.
Yep quilt looks great Rach..
I have made Ruths quilt (its called Lissa's quilt in this house) I had it professionally quilted, in a very large stipple, I wasn't happy when I picked it up but it works OK with the embroidery.. I can take pics if you'd like.. mine is done in 'gingham roses' range lots of yellows reds and pinks and green.. I love it..

Hi Rachel - I just found your blog and it is lovely :-) You have made such beautiful things!
The quilt is just beautiful, and as usual makes me want to make one, also. It's a shame that we can't make everything we see that we like.
Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Tabitha was very lucky to get to pet the penguin.
That's a really cute stitchery and a SERIOUSLY beautiful quilt. Is the quilting done by hand? I'm always amazed by people who can make actual bed-sized quilts.
What a gorgeous quilt, you must have such patience to make big quilts, I'm happier with small ones.
i#I adore your red work stitchery, I just love the contrast of red on white.
Oh! I *LOVE* your Elizabeth quilt!!!
It's gorgeous!
Very pretty quilts.... how's your star quilt along going!?!? ;) I'm sick of cutting out! I've got one block sewn and the other five cut out ready to go!! I'm up waiting for washing to finish... should sew now... but can't be bothered!!
Oh wow - that is one of the most beautiful quilts ever - I love the fabrics.
Your little stitcheries are so pretty.
Just off to check out The quilting B now - thanks for the tip off! x
Lovely quilt and I like the red stitchery too

Love your quilt. You have done a beautiful job. It is such a beautiful range of fabric.
I have some of the wuthering heights fabric as well. Not sure what I am going to do with it though...it does need to be special. The quilt is gorgeous! Jo x
Hi Rachel. Your Elizabeth quilt is just stunning. I have a Wuthering Heights quilt half finished in the cupboard. I really wish I had used this pattern for the fabric. I am a huge fan of 3 Sisters fabrics. There has barely been a range I haven't loved. Have a great weekend. Hope you get some time to stitch.
