We are sharing some sad news today from Karen about Rose for others who may be interested.
Sue has unearthed a very helpful tutorial from Laura of 'So Very Easy' and the links to Kelli Fannins Pokemon, Harry Potter and Minecraft Quilt alongs.

"Hi all – it is with much sadness that Sue Webb has let Sheila know that Rose Halliday-Smith, a long time member of the Buderim Craft Cottage has passed away.
Rose was a valued member of Fabric Art as well as the Patchwork Group.
Rose was a judge of our rainforest challenge years ago. Sheila also thinks Rose and Marg Gibbs did the 50 years wall hanging design.
Funeral numbers are restricted but if anyone was particularly keen to attend the service for Rose, they should contact Sue Webb or contact me and I can pass the message on.
Our thoughts and wishes go out to Rose’s family and friends."
Lainey shared her thoughts
"Rose Halliday-Smith was the most creative and original person I have known.
She dabbled in almost all types of creative fabric ideas. She has exhibited and taught in venues almost everywhere.
She was always ready and willing to give help and advice, and, if necessary, a different viewpoint and she always did it with the most lovely way of speaking with a smile in her voice and on her face.
I haven’t seen her for a couple of years but she always tried to visit out quilt show and had nice things to say about everybody’s work.
A great lady and will be missed by me as well as many others.
Lorraine"
Sue has shared a link "I think this is a great video that shows how to get your wonky blocks square"
The tutorial has 3 versions of 'How to Block a Quilt Block' from Laura Anne Coia of 'Sew Very Easy'
Just the ant's pants for those multiple seamed blocks that sometimes end up just a smidge small on one corner or the other.
The very talented Kelli Fanning of 'Seriously, I think it needs stitches" has 3 quilt alongs that those with Grandies might like.
Not only the patterns & measurements but colour choices and a step by step construction guide simplifying the assembly of a themed quilt.
Her 'Harry Potter Quilt Along can be found here.
The Pokemon Quilt along is another popular one of Kelli's
The patterns I followed for my versions of Kelli's Minecraft Quilt Along
The Minecraft series has a wonderful selection of characters to choose from as well as a 'Minecraft Alphabet'
