You can find this pattern in this months release of Down Under Quilts magazine (Issue 159, Practical Publishing).
I made this quilt last year, here it is hanging on my fence framed by our beautiful plum tree in full blossom. Nice to see the blossoms again because right now I'm absolutely freezing on a cold and wet winters day!!
I designed this quilt around this sweet little pile of Oakshott Ruby Red cottons I had received from here. The colour in these shot cottons still catches my eye every time I see them (I've since purchased more!).
It still shocks me to see my name in print!!
And coming up on Saturday 24th August (from 9:30am-2:30pm), I'm teaching my free motion quilting class at Treehouse Textiles.
We work hard in this class, learning the basics beginning with how to prepare your quilt for machine quilting, to learning many different free motion quilting designs from simple, to the more complicated.
Our hosts at the Treehouse, Emma and Sarah, treat us magnificently all day with wonderful teas, coffee's and delicious food including an amazing lunch! If you would love to join in and learn a new skill, or hone what you can already do, book here.

Love it! Very vibrant, congrats!
Congratulations on having another one of your stunning quilts published!!!
Absolutely stunning quilt. Love all the fabrics. Read the magazine this morning and Instagrammed your Quilt so the whole world knows about your talent.
Love your Dahlia quilt! The colors are so vibrant and your pattern is appealing. I regret that this magazine is not available in France.
Will you propose some patterns to our French magazine Quiltmania?...

Big Congrats! Your dalia quilt is one of my favorites.:)
Hooray! What a fabulous accomplishment and tribute to all your hard work! Love the quilt and that you're willing to share your gifts and skills with others!
Still love your Dahlia quilt as much as when you first showed it here on your blog. Your FMQ looks fantastic too; I wish I could come to your class.
I will have to keep an eye out for this. Gorgeous!
Congratulations on your magazine appearance. You make such beautiful quilts, I'm sure we'll see your name in print much more. I would so love to take your class. Too bad I live so far away. Your quilt designs are fresh and they look doable.
I'm happy to see your quilt again - it's so beautiful! You had fantastic idea to use those lovely fabrics! x Teje
Congratulations on being published--that is really something to be proud of! I could really use your free motion class--looks like you teach a lot. I'd be there if I could swing the airfare!
Congratulations! If anyone deserves it, it's you. Your work is always outstanding and beautiful.
Brilliant effort getting another original quilt to publication. It must feel hugely satisfying when all the writing is done and you see your name up in print.
Congrats Cathy. A great thrill for you to be published. I wish I lived closer to do your FMQ class - NZ is a bit far away!
I bought DUQ yesterday but have yet to sit down and read it, love your Dahlia quilt and I love Oakshott cottons as well, a shop in Adelaide has just started selling them too, lucky me.
Your quilt design is so pretty, Cathy. I'm thrilled for you and know we will see your name in print over and over. Congratulations! I like many others, would covet taking a quilting class for you....lucky students!
Congratulations Cathy on your published pattern. I will be sure to pick up this magazine. Love the free motion quilting. Fabulous Thanks for sharing ....Marie (mlismore@optusnet.com.au
Congratulations! Beautiful quilt! Do you know where they would carry the magazine in the US or online? Would love to get a copy.
Congratulations! A very beautiful quilt. I would live to do another FMQ class one day. I did one almost three yrs ago but do you think I have practised since then? Will keep an eye on these classes as I have full intentions of getting there one day.
Congrats on being published! It's a lovely, vibrant quilt. I love those shot cottons too. Yum!
Congratulations, they did the quilt proud in the lovely mag photo. Your free motion class sounds like fun.
