For the past few weeks I have been working on this cute Matryoshka Quilt designed by Rosalie Quinlan as a sample for Ballarat Patchwork. The poor sewing machine has been packed up for well over a week and it was great to get it out and start putting the blocks together. The first four rows are done!
Each evening last week I appliqued around the dolls. The visofix I used was a bit think with the linen, and I looked very sophisticated with a finger wrapped in sticky tape to proctect it from the needle. Must find a thimble I can use .... silly me.Off to cook dinner a nice dinner for Fathers Day xx

So darn cute! Love the Flower Sugar fabric.
Looks fabulous Rachel. I love making samples, playing with someone else's fabric and getting to do something new & exciting.
The quilt is just gorgeous, Rachel. Can't wait to see it in the shop.
looks fantastic
Love it, just finishing off my own russian doll quilt too. Cute aren't they.
Looks great Rachael. Bring it on Wed for show and tell
that's wonderful - I love the fabrics you chose too.
Oh, I love this quilt! Is the pattern already out? And of course the Flower Sugar just makes the quilt!
What a beautiful quilt. I don't need another pattern to add to the pile... Then again, maybe I do!
Love the quilt, I have been eyeing off making it for ages (but so much still to finish!). Love the fabric you have choosen.
I really love the red and green of this version... just stunning!
gorgeous! I really like that pattern
It looks gorgeous Rachel! I love the colours and fabrics that you have used - what range are they or are they from various?
The best thimbles I ever found were some strange fabric-y things that you wrapped around your finger and - I just can't remember who they are made by! And I need to remember so I can buy some more too! The tip of my middle finger on my right hand has been shredded through quilting my Amy Butler quilt :o( Ow!

Hello again! I've just had a look on google and the thimble I like is called the "wrap-it thimble" and lots of Australian ebay sellers have it!
