Very cold climates always seem to have a profusion of the most beauteous flowers in Spring. It is almost worth trudging through the dark tunnel of Winter to come out the other end to Spring. Yes Albury is freezing in Winter. I remember camping there with a group of friends in the death of Winter. I do believe it took a very long while for us all to thaw out. Winter too here in Tassie is just a wee bit chilly for my liking but of course there are aran jumpers to rug up in and boots and a warm cosy fire is always on standby. It is a delight to have you visit my little blog. Please feel welcome to wander around....but I warn you I do rather overdose on pretty flowers. =)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-80002212806966236192018-11-12T10:36:24.783+11:002018-11-12T10:36:24.783+11:00Kim - I am still here - drooling.

Then Spring with the rich colours, overpowering scents and everything coming to life. Each flower wants fame and each tries to outdo the other like a peacock so we have an overabundance of colours and smells. Absolute heaven.<br /><br />Back down to earth for a little while thank you for the alternate directions for the Cathedral Windows, I will go there when I have looked at your blog a bit more.<br /><br />I will be forever lurking<br /><br />ChristinaChristina in Alburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410603336341486136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-48410056335829929342018-11-12T09:47:02.024+11:002018-11-12T09:47:02.024+11:00Hello Christina from Albury. =) How wonderful to r...Hello Christina from Albury. =) How wonderful to receive a comment from another Aussie. Thank you so much for your sweet comments. I discovered a little while ago that Hyena in Petticoats could only be visited by invited bloggers. This has occurred a long time after I wrote my post. So.....I discovered another link for a cathedral window quilt which has pretty much the same directions as 'Hyena's'. The link is https://www.instructables.com/id/Cathedral-Windows-Quilt-Squares/ I think from memory my patterned squares were 4" and the plain bigger squares were 12". It was awhile ago that I finished this quilt and to be honest the making of it was kinda like torture. =) I did write a post about my finished cathedral window pretty here...https://sarahlizzies.blogspot.com/2017/04/a-hallelujah-chorus.html if of course you would like to see it finished. I vowed never ever to stitch a cathedral window again! I do hope you return here to see this reply to your comment, Christina. I would have replied to you by email but unfortunately you seem to be a no reply blogger. Once again, thank you so much for taking the time to comment and I wish you well in making your very own cathedral window quilt....they are beautiful and I think every stitcher should fashion at least one. Besides, who knows, perhaps you will have an enjoyable time stitching one of these pretties. =) I hope it is a beautiful day up there in Albury. I visited Albury a very long time ago and loved it. Have a beautiful week.....and it was such a delight to 'meet' you.

To be able to look at something and "see" what it could/would be is an anathema to me - I just cannot do it. I do however echo your wish for "if only my eyes were more visually impaired to ignore the li'l foibles". Ask me how to know! my framed, on-the-wall tapestry screams at me every time I go past it, oh well(sigh). I too tried the link to Hyena in Petticoats to read the instructions which led you to making your magnificent quilt but alas it only for invited users. How does one get invited? if not, would she be willing to put her instructions on someone else's pages? (obviously yours and obviously properly credited to her). <br /><br />Wishing and hoping, from Christina in Albury NSW (only 5 km from Victoria).

Our oldest grand will be graduating from high school next month; perhaps I should make her a special card using folded flowers.

I've been fascinated by cathedral quilts and so I tried going to Hyena in Petticoats. It's only a 'by permission' blog. Do you know how I might reach the blog or contact the author so I might access the tutorial on cathedral windows? I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612629420194084787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-18811817242816688722014-02-09T12:54:23.922+11:002014-02-09T12:54:23.922+11:00WOW....impressive work.

Yes, I suppose patience is the key ingredient in the making of a cathedral window. It is very easy to get frustrated....but I will press on. When it is looked upon as a whole, it is such a pretty quilt......if only my eyes were more visually impaired to ignore the li'l foibles.;D All jokes aside, I do love the pretty scraps set in the white windows, it is such a fresh and bright quilt. I must say that I do love the concept of your origami box. Origami must come easy to you!! Thanks again for your lovely comments!!

You have greater patience than me because I have often thought how lovely it would be to use this technique in a quilt but after just a few blocks my patience has run out. I did, however, make 6 into a box to carry our wedding rings when we got married (I used a piece of card rather than wadding to provide the required stiffness for the box.) I have that Fantastic Folding Fabric book and made those lovely flowers on the front cover in a bag. Not too difficult and very effective. I shall look forward to seeing all your gorgeous fabrics put to similar usage.

I've not tried it before (I am very grateful that my LQS is 5 minutes away), but will definitely use it if I make a similar quilt. It is pinned, but that is no guarantee that it will get done! Your kimono fabrics are divine.
