Last year I set up the AustralianSewingPattern.com, a collective of Australian designers so we could band together and get to the the Australian Quilt Market in Melbourne. This year I was joined by Michelle Long of Lemon Jellie Stitches.

A.Q.M is a cool place to catch up with other designers like Nicole Mallalieu (You Sew Girl), Tammy Green (Buddies Corner and Studio T Green!) Jodie Carleton (Vintage Ric Rac) and  Emma Jean Jansen…

LOL!

And I got to meet one of Australia’s most respected softie designers, and someone I have been in awe of for many years, Melanie McNiece of Melly & Me!  Her softies are sooooooooooooooo cute and

she is just THE nicest person too!

After 4 fun-filled days in Melbourne it was time to go home…

I was ”EXHAUSTIPATED”!!!

Don’t forget – if you’re an Indie Australian designer keen to join the AustralianSewingPattern.com collective – please get in touch! 🙂

Hope to see you all next year!

Till next time…

Happy Sewing,

Pauline
