A little progress….

You wouldn’t believe how much cutting and sewing there is in the pile of material above.

This quilt has to be one of my biggest projects this year to date.

Easter Over-load!

 

You’d never think that in our household that the Easter Bunny myth has been exposed!

Look at the bounty of Red Tulip and Cadbury gifted this year.

Happy Easter

I hope the bunny finds you!

Dragonflies appeal

There is something peaceful about them that draws me in….

So when I saw the Life Is Beautiful pattern book at AQC last weekend I had to buy it.

 

 

 

 

So many beautiful stitcheries !

Exciting Melbourne

 

More than just a trip to go to AQC…….

From the fire ball show outside Crown Casino to……

 

 

 

 

…things I saw on the street…

…..and on the footpath….

to the buildings….. and out to the beach……

It  was a weekend never to forget.

A sweet little purse – I’m spoilt

This one didn’t come to Melbourne with me.  Another lovely gift from Julie turning my duo into a trio!  Thank you Julie xx

Good Friends, Good Times

April marked a trip to AQC for Julie and I. A flying weekend escape to Melbourne, a first time for me to both the city and the AQC was a first for the two of us. Not only did Julie suggest the trip, book the flights AND accomodation but made me this delightful duo to take along.  The backpack was my birthday gift and the cosmetics purse a surprise on the day she arrived.  Thank you my very talented friend  :)

 

 

You are so clever and the backpack is so comfortable to wear!

Before the flood….

 

 

 

I made a bag!

 

The Bird fabric was purchased from Thread & Ginger Victoria Point.

 

 

My workmate says it looks like a bought one, so I think that means I did a good job?

 

 

Thank you Julie for the Monica Poole pattern “The Spice of Life”.   Good friends gift bag patterns!

Productive Sunday, bag made now the pattern to sell

 

I  was asked to make this bag for an expectant mother and spent today doing exactly that .  It will be used as a nappy bag in this case.   Yes,this pretty pink & purple bag is for a little girl who is on the way and due in March. I’ve just noticed that I’ve forgotten to make and attach it’s tail!!!

 Being short on time and with many many projects of my own I hope to make a start on, this request  will be the only one I undertake this year – I have to be strong and kind to myself! Does that make me sound selfish?

How to reform a Bag Lady

Deciding which of my many bag patterns to release to new homes could be a true test indeed.  Perhaps I won’t start with Bag Patterns!!!  See the dilemma I face already….

  no, not this one, I think I’ll keep it, so fun to make….

  I made this without a pattern so no hard choice required here!

These two can go,  $10 ea for never more than opened and read.  I was going to make them one day…….I have to make a start somewhere…..

Sew Much Stuff, Sew Little Time

I’ve had a sort through my room, unfortunately though, I have run out of holidays to spend the time required to get my “Goodies to Go” up online for you all to see. 

My plan is to make this happen next weekend, so please stop back in then to see what you might to have living in your stash :)

The Summer Sewing Room Clean Out Begins!

Stay tuned as I gather some photo's of patterns that require new homes!
