Happy Holidays

There is not too much quilting going on at the moment, but I am about 18 hours into a two week holiday from work.  There may be some exciting news on the job front shortly .... I will keep you posted, but let's just say it may be a step towards better mental health, less teeth grinding and a happier relationship with my family.  Fingers crossed.

I have been sewing.  I made a Christmas dress with some AMH linen cotton mix from my favourite Tessuti Lily Linen dress pattern.  I wore it to work yesterday and did get a couple of compliments.  It is IDEAL for Christmas functions as you don't have anything tight around your middle parts. I can't rotate the photo for some reason, so just put your head to one side ....

 I am also trialling a make-up bag pattern.  This is the first proto-type, which I am gifting to a swimming buddy tomorrow.  My lovely drawstring bag from Elizabeth is being well used for hexy crochet.


A safe and happy Christmas to you and those you love best.  Specially thinking of you Marg!  xx

Tradie Lady

I've taken up a new hobby…. I've become a Tradie Lady!  Nil activity for sewing due to renovations, which I have been helping out on, as they say a photo tells a thousand words!

Underfloor heating install tomorrow, then tiling begins on Thursday.  I'm hoping that the tiling will be finished before Christmas so that I can regain some sort of normality…… even if it means I still have a bucket sink and no washing machine!  But importantly, I will have CLEAN surfaces again to be able to sew!!!!

Hope everyone is well, ciao bellas Kimbo

So many UFO's....

I went through my 'sewing room'  (or should that read 'UFO room') this morning.  After just touching the surface of what is there, I have decided to make a list of them all and progressively finish something!!!  Here are a few of my UFO's that you may remember from class ......

 Flower basket...waiting on borders and a few butterflies to be sewn on...

Flower Basket centre

Blue - all basted

Blue's centre

Blue - I can say that I have made some progress with 'Blue'.  It is basted and ready for hand quilting.

Snail quilt

Snails - Need to decide on the border now and add it.





Looks like I have a bit of work ahead of me!!!!!!!
