Revised YouTube Video and Jimboomba Frame Demonstration.

Hello Everyone,

I have revised my video, it is now shorter, once it is fully published on YouTube I will post the link.

Happy Quilting,

Ann.

P.S. I am really tired after my demonstration today at Jimboomba, thank you to the Jimboomba Quilting and Stitching Group for their hospitality, Libbie and I had a lovely day. And what beautiful quilting and stitching we saw.

Millie Video on YouTube

 Hi Everyone,

I have also uploaded my demonstration video to YouTube, I have been looking at quilting videos lately - there are some really good ones on YouTube! And having seen how difficult it is for some people to do their pin basting it has given me a kick start to get my frame out to more people, I really believe it is a superior way to pin baste,  plus you have the added advantage of a Design Wall and a means to take photos of your quilt, (there are people who are very happy with how they pin baste, my frame was not invented with them in mind - I am catering to those who are not happy with pin basting in the traditional way and are open to a new method)

I will be uploading my future videos to YouTube and this Blog, I have procrastinated a long time over making and editing my video, and it needs more work I know, but I have gotten the bug now and plan quite a few, mainly to help purchasers to use their frames, it takes a bit of getting used to as it is an unfamiliar method and I can't be everywhere,  but my videos can be!

Happy Quilting,

Ann.

P.S. In regard to YouTube: I have changed the earlier video from  Public to Private (I have revised it and the new improved video is on YouTube!)

Demonstration Monday 27th June 2011 at Jimboomba Qld.

Hi All,

This is a very quick post to say "thank you" to the members of the Jimboomba Quilting and Stitching Group (Queensland, Australia) for inviting me to demonstrate "Millie" on Monday 27th June 2011.

Libbie (the person) is coming up from Sydney especially to help and we  also hope to make some new friends!

I may be able to include some photos from the day, I best remember to take my camera!

Don't forget to have a quick look down my list of "Posts", there maybe something  to interest you.

I will be doing a large quilt on my frame next week and Libbie and I will video it, keep an eye out for it on my future posting.

Happy Quilting,

Ann.

Mulberry Millie Prices

Hi Everyone,

A number of people are experiencing difficulty finding the price of the frame and extension on the Mulberry Millie Website, you need to click on "Products" that will take you to another page, then take the cursor over the picture of either the Basic Frame (May) or the Extension and when the hand points - click on the picture, that will take you to a page with the price and more photos.

I am sorry for any inconvenience, I have reported it to my Website Designer and hope to have it made more user friendly soon. 

In regard to price:

The Basic Frame "May" is AU$395.00.

"Libbie" is AU$460.00.

The Extension is currently AU$250.00,  I am in the process of reviewing the price of the Extension.

I have a "Libbie" on www.ebay.com.au  at present and list there on occasion.

Have a look on YouTube for my Video of Mulberry Millie, there are also some really goods quilting videos to watch.

Happy Quilting,

Ann.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Demonstration Video Number 1.

Click here to view YouTube Video:

Hello Everyone,

Well at long last the video I have been promising, I have a long way to go when it comes to video making, but my aim is to only get better! so please enjoy!
The purpose of my planned videos is to provide a series of "how to use Mulberry Millie" videos, they can also be in response to specific questions by purchasers or those considering purchasing.

Another aim of mine is to be thinner in each video (til I reach my goal of 75kgs -165lbs, oh what a lovely dream I am having), when they say "the camera adds 10lbs" they were not kidding, more like 30kgs!!
Let me know if you like the video, my next one will be on how  to put a big quilt together on the basic frame "May".

Bye for now,
Ann.

Spring loaded clamps

Hello Everyone,

This is a quick post to show you a photo of the type of clamps I use on the frame when I clamp the backing directly to the frame.

 

Spring loaded clamps - 

 

 

There are a number of different clamps on the market, you just need to find one you like.

I have seen these and similiar style clamps in Hardware and Variety Stores in Australia.

I hope this is helpful.

Have a nice day.

Ann

Viewing distribution

Hello Everyone,

This is just a quick post to let you know the distribution of the blog's viewers to date, and to say hello,

So here we go : a big HELLO to Australia, USA, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, UK, Brazil, New Zealand and Singapore.

Maybe someone could make a comment or email me so I know what interests you about my frame or ask some questions if you need clarification on any aspects of it's use?

I would love to be in contact with quilting enthusiasts from other parts of our beautiful world, I do have Bill in the USA who keeps me up to date on the weather over there, it is always fun to hear that when I am over here perspiring profusely with the temperature in the  30's C with a humidity in the 60's  he is shoveling snow from his driveway! Of cause at present that is visa versa but we have no snow up here,(down south yes)

Libbie is heading home today (Boo Hoo) but coming back to Brisbane to help me with a  demonstration on Monday 27th June 2011.

We are still working to get some photos up today.

Bye for now,

Happy Quilting.

Ann

Craft and Quilt Fair, Brisbane. 19th-23rd October 2011

Hi All,

Libbie and I had such a good time demonstrating Millie at last year's fair that I have decided to do it again!

I will need to be super organised with two High School aged children and Hubby to organise also.

But Libbie and I will be there prepared to have a serious craft experience - hope to see you there! Start booking your flights and accommodation now!

Hope to have new photos out soon, we have been busy and got behind on the piecing.

Happy Quilting,

Ann.

New photos soon

Millie and our Mulberry tree.

Hi Everyone,

I have been unwell with a cold since Tuesday, my good friend Libbie is visiting and we had planned to do lots of quilting, hopefully I will be back on board soon and be able to catch up with her!

We plan to post a few photos of her quilts for you before she goes back to Sydney on Friday.

Happy Quilting,

Ann.

P.S. I will have to update the Mulberry tree photo it's now about 2.5mts tall now, (it is a Dwarf Shahtoot) and guess what? I have a new one I plan to plant soon (it is a Dwarf  Black English) Millie will be pleased.

Demonstration Feedback Tuesday 7/6/11

Hello everyone,

Mulberry Millie (Libbie) front view.

Mulberry Millie (Libbie) back view.

I had a lovely time on Tuesday demonstrating Millie.

Noreen came up from the southside and kindly brought her bed runner to put together on the frame, this was a challenge because it was approx 2.3meters long and about .6meters wide. I had only the basic frame (May) with me so  I had to go home and get the extension! Another challenge was pinning the two J/K fabric panels together to cover the 2.7meter span! Anyway a good time was had and I'm learning all the time about the many different forms this Quilting Craft takes.

Noreen brought her curved pins with her and took home a fully pinned bed runner ready to quilt at home, and what a lovely quilt it will be, unfortunately I forgot to take a photo! Maybe next time when someone brings a quilt along I will remember so we can all enjoy it.

In regard to future demonstrations, things have changed and I will be able to continue my monthly demonstrations at Club Coops as previously arranged, though the time will be 1100hrs until 1200hrs with the opportunity to extend the time if we are in the middle of pinning.

Happy Quilting,

Ann.
