A bit of housekeeping....

No reply bloggers.... I am getting a few of these recently... not sure if there are changes in blogger or what, but I always try to reply to comments so if you are not getting replies then that is why - very sorry but I can't find you.... I do try.... promise...

I have found homes for the patterns.... Narelle and Tracy..... thanks... there were some other offers and thank you... I wish I had more to send out. Let me know your addresses and I hope you have fun making them...

Evening stitching has meant another little block for Wings .... my bee looks a bit agitated... I think it got hay-fever from the pollen...

Since I have a small visitor arriving next month who hasn't got a big bed quilt from Nana I have been doing a bit of my own quilting....

… and sewing on of binding....

… and the last couple of evenings have been spent hand sewing the binding... still more to go!

… but I did take a short intermission to finish off these … cork, glitter felt, hessian twine and a bit of tilda fabric....  

Michelle gifted me these pretty panels a while ago and I have had them pinned for more of a while so today I am going to spend a bit more of while on them......

Righto, Gotto Go.... quilting is calling me.... 

Weekend is coming up... hope you have a lovely one...

Back to my own sewing.....

I am very pleased that I am still keeping to do a bit of my own sewing each day....

and the machine has been kept busy with my sisters.... this quilt has worked out 86 x 97 inches …. now it's going to the 'waiting to be quilted' queue.....

Hand sewing has meant another lovely block towards Wings quilt.  This is the little bird under the Umbrella flower....

I have been naughty about keeping up with my One Christmas Item each month so did up these last 3 ornaments that I had felt for.... 

I have had 2 kits of stockings... some I made a couple of years ago and then these ones have been this year... 

As a result I have 2 patterns to pass on if anybody would like....   I don't think I will be wanting to use them again.

Please note, these are patterns only … not the kits as described on them....  and they are in good but used condition.

If more than 2 people want I will put your names in a hat and do a draw.

Righto, Gotto Go..... I have another Wings block waiting.... 

Want another look at my Disco Dancing Diva's?

.... and more

I have another group of pictures from the Brisbane quilt show.... as per usual I won't say much about them... I have included the tags regarding the very clever makers...


Michelle also took pictures... some of them are not the same as what I did so if you feel like it pop over here and see some others....

Righto, Gotto Go....  I know I will never make on these grand scales and artistic talent, but I can still have fun... and there's lots of fun waiting to be done ….

Have a lovely weekend.... I was thrilled to wake up today to a lovely storm and 25mls of rain.... puddles on my dead lawn.  Not drought breaking but it is all hopeful that there is rain around.

Smore......

I love the idea of smores..... they sound delicious.... really really heart attack kind of delicious!!

So here's smore (some more) quilts instead....

So much incredibleness.... no need for words....

So much admiration for the skill and imagination of the makers....
