The weekend of The Lioness Quilt show was great. The show was lovely, with alot of students putting their gorgeous quilts on display. Well done to everyone who participated in the show. This really is a great Quilt Show for our local area. Our Jukejema stall looked great and was a great success. Thankyou Delma and all the other Lionesses for looking after us.
Happy Stitching :)

Well doesn't life get very hectic! Sorry it's been awhile between posts but family and myself have had to come first for awhile. I hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas, and have bounced into the New Year ok. Our youngest daughter Morgan broke her arm between Christmas and New Year. So we have now manage to get through that and she had her cast removed last Friday. And I have had my thyroid removed two weeks ago and everything is great so far.
So our year so far has been busy.
We have plenty of classes on offer to you all including the lovely Sue Daley will be back to teach again for me on Saturday 10th March and Sunday 11th March. You'll not be disappointed as her new quilt is gorgeous!! Costings have been worked out, which you can give the shop a call ph 44212577 or email me. If you're from out of town there is a great motel one block from the shop for accommodation. More on Sue Daly shortly.
I have our lovely regular teachers aswell, Carol Kinross has been working her fingers to the bone! (in the shop and getting samples ready)Thanks Carol xxx.
Vicki Porter has started her very popular Stitch Club again. All the girls seem very excited about there new mystery quilt. It's really gorgeous.
Jennie Osbourne is back in March for her once a month visit. Her new quilt is beautiful. I don't think she has named it as yet. There is still a couple of spots in her Saturday class.
Sorry didn't mean to repeat this photo!!!!!! Not sure how to remove it.
Chris Jurd is back again teaching her fabulous designs and you may choose from any of her designs to make. Call the shop and we can explain her dates and costings.
And something that will be very exciting for Jukejema Quilting Barn is that Lynette Anderson is coming to teach in August. Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th of August, final costs have to be finalized but we are taking names now for this very exciting workshop.
So this is just a quick blurb about our classes and we have lots to come yet aswell for the rest of the year.
Thanks for visiting and happy stitching.

What a lovely day we had on Saturday. It was our annual "Show n Tell" day when our lovely students can show off their beautiful work. It was lovely for my gorgeous teacher and right hand Carol as all the students showed things that they had all done with her. Which made her feel very proud!
Judy has been one of our students that never gives up, she improvises alot and it always works for her. We are now calling her the 'Queen of Tablerunners". We are so proud of you Judy your a real champ!
Helena proved she does finish things, this bag was from 2010 retreat.
Helena's two versions of her Lazy Layer Cake Quilt. This is one of Carol's classes, very popular. Sorry Helena about the first photo!
This is Jo our quiet achiever. When she isn't delivering babies, she's sewing!!!
This is Neridah and she has only started patchworking this year with Carol. She has made a gorgeous sampler quilt with Carol but it was away being quilted. Well done!
Helena thought Karan's wallhanging would make a great crown!
All these beauiful projects are what Karan has finished in the last six months. Our joke with Karan is 'to get a job' as this is how she has had the time to make all these beautiful things plus others. Well done Kaz!
This is Loiuse with her gorgeous quilts from two of Carol's classes 'Jamestown' and 'Hidden Stars'. Just stunning aren't they!
We were very lucky to have Jane home for our Show n Tell and Christmas dinner as she has been away travelling Australia all year. She came home just in time! Her is her version of 'Jamestown'. And some of her applique blocks she been sewing under the awning eating nibbles.You look great Jane, nice to see you.
And Yvonnes two quilts 'Cactus Wreath' and 'Amish Refections' are just stunning. Yvonnes started with Carol last year making a Sampler Quilt now look what she's making!
Carol and myself would like to thank all you girls who attend on Saturday. Your all very special.
I would also like to thank Carol as all the girls works are a great reflection on you as a teacher and as a wonderful person. Thankyou.
Happy Stitching

Thursday night was our last one for the year with our 'Secret Santa' swap.
Cherly was just sooo excited!
Charmaine has no excuses now for turning up with no sewing, she has a bag to put it all in!
Jo was extremely happy with her bag from Cherly.
Pippa's bag was just gorgeous. It holds two floss boxes, a fantasic gift. Now you'll have no more thread nests Pip!
Thanks Alison I love my bag. Alison was unable to be there as she had be sick.
And Sue was just as gorgeous as ever as slack me hadn't quiet fininshed her's so I improvised and gave her one that my Mum had made. I will fininsh it I promise over the holidays. Our theme this year was 'Bags" as you may have guessed. Just seems to make it easier for some of the girls, Next year has already been spoken about, 'Cushions'. Better start now!
