Dear fellow quilters/crafters
Your quilting story could be featured in an upcoming quilt book I am researching (not due for release until 2011). The book will touch on community and quilting and I would love to hear from you. Find out more here.
Last night was the culmination of some fun projects I have been working on (if you look closely you can see I had a lovely little helper do some sewing for me) – these sweets and tea-set were in a group show last night along with a couple of other works of mine and lots of great stuff by some other very talented artists. It was a fun night (there was red wine spillage), toffee apples, and good friends.

Dear fellow quilters/crafters
Your quilting story could be featured in an upcoming quilt book I am researching (not due for release until 2011). The book will touch on community and quilting and I would love to hear from you.
Please email me whipup[at]gmail.com if you have ever…
1. made quilts for charity
2. organised a quilt drive for your local community/church or larger organisation
3. participated in or organised a quilt swap, (or quilt block swap), virtual quilting bee or quilt-a-long
4. belonged to an ‘in person’ quilting group where you get together regularly to quilt
5. made or organised a community quilt / friendship quilt
I would love to hear your stories – there are no boundaries on age or location – wherever you live, whoever you are – I want to hear from you. Email me telling the where and when of your quilting project and I will follow up with further questions.
thanks so much for your help.

I love softie cakes and here is an excellent tutorial + pattern for making this 3 tiered foam cake – with cake slices + bonus pattern for making the candles too – there are lots of variations in ways to decorate the basic cake design as well.
