I only live 20km out of the city centre and in a small town (obviously unimportant according to the definition below!!!) .. but sometimes you would think I live way out Woop Woop
(Woop Woop : invented name for any small unimportant town - "he lives in Woop Woop" )
and post can take an extra few days to get to me....
like my lovely little Christmas gift from Melody - I love it.. thanks Melody... you get so many of these lovely gifts done
isn't this row of snails just awesome?
and today these goodies from Michelle....
a lovely little package with sewing needle, those little leather finger thimble ends and Valdani thread to try
(and some lollies - one is already nibbled!!!)
Now I'm all set for doing their BOM's this year.... thank you Melody and Michelle.... special
A few pictures of summertime in my garden....
trying to make my post box look pretty and inviting for Mr Postie!!!
...... over the year I made up a bunch of half square triangle blocks as leaders and enders on my sewing projects...
it's time for them all to come together now....
... now I need to sort another bunch of leaders and enders....
I think I will use up my scrap strips to do a Spiderweb like this one of Tarnyia's

I was lucky to get a hexie doilie from Melody too. She is way too clever!Your bottle brush looks beautiful as does your scraps creation. All those points matching up look so perfect.
I, too, was a recipient of the lovely Mel! Love the bottle brush and your new header! Happy quilting!
Your garden is looking lovely! So many gorgeous plants flowering.
Love the HSTs too - of course. Great idea having them as a leaders and enders project. Great with white, too!
Looking forward to seeing it finished.
Happy new year ,Thank you for kind words.You gals do very nice work. Laura
Sweet little prezzies and oh I love your flowers. I'm pretty sure the top ones are called Bottle Brushes?
Lovely flowers! A leader and ender project is handy to have on hand - mine is making Bear's Paw blocks.
So glad you liked your little pressie
Sweet gifts from friends and beautiful flowers...what could be better? Oh, and an enticingly lovely mailbox for the mailman/woman...I'd want to leave mail there! ;o)

The wee row of snails are so cute on the hexie from Melody.
What gorgeous flowers.Love the pink bottlebrush.
Great idea with the HST. I have a bag full of all different sizes. Should put them together ah!!!!
Oh I love those snails, so pretty! And those threads, yum. Your garden is just spectacular - I'd be out there all day long taking pictures! Such pretty quilting, I think I'd like to try a quilt like that!
Love the triangles, I too have a bag of these, so there is now another project on the to do list.
Love the garden photos, and I am sure you have the prettiest letterbox in the street, which is why so many lovely gifts are delivered.
Love your little snails I am always in awe of Melody's work, everything she does is just so pretty. Can't wait to see your HST project. Hugs
The cutest snails. Your garden looks beautiful. I watched the YouTube video from Missouri Quilts yesterday on how to do the spiderweb quilt - great idea. There is something very right about half square triangles, they always look good. Tracee xx
