Bali Butterfly pattern spreads it wings

For a pattern designed in a weekend as occupational therapy while Geoff and a friend went camping, Bali Butterfly has proved to be Kathy Adams’s most popular pattern during her decade of experience as a quilt pattern designer. Several hundred Bali Butterflies have winged their way to many parts of the world, especially in the US and also have swarmed throughout Australia.  It is purchased regularly by quilt shops and distributors.  Kathy has taught classes in this pattern throughout western and south western Queensland, while it has been purchased in bulk by quilt instructors as far north as Bali and Mount Isa down to northern NSW.  It has also featured in quilting retreats in Bali. The pattern has been made in many colour combinations and sizes.  One particular fan of this pattern has made it several times, including one king size quilt where the design was used as the centre panel.  Happy birthday Bali Butterfly, the pages of this blog testify to Kathy’s very inspired weekend some years ago!   Thank you all those who love this pattern and it is still part of Kathy’s teaching program.

Thursday KoolKats Club

The Thursday KoolKats Club, Kathy’s quilting group which met at her studio on most Thursdays, held their break-up meeting for 2014 this week.  Kathy has decided to step up her creative projects next year and as a result meetings of the Thursday KoolKats are suspended for 2015.  However, Kathy will be planning a series of quilting workshops to be held at her studio, details will be announced next year.  KoolKat Quilting is taking bookings for next year’s series of travelling workshops, and hope that recent rain is bringing some joy to the parched areas we visited this year.  Details of the workshop program can be seen below.
