Should be Packing, but no I am sewing!!


This quilt is dads, which is the Savile Row which you can see here, finally finished quilting and now putting the binding on , with just an inscription to do on the back, phew, for some reason this one has taken me a while.



And the above 2 pics, are of Teagans soon to be quilt, based on Jenny from Amitie's Hopscotch Quilt, but I have added a row of pinwheels around the centre blocks upon Teagans request as Sacha's quilt has pinwheels too!! So I have decided to have a late one tonight and get Teagans quilt top put together, I would still like to put a border around it to make it bigger, so stay tuned..

Might sneak in a box of packing now, and oh, I have an assignment to finish off too, might get an extension on that one!!
Until Next time

Have been sewing, just not posting!!

Cant believe its been nearly a month again, I have been sewing though, its just so much has been going on lately, its hard to find time to sit and post. We are buying land about 15km out of Wangaratta, and although we are not building for another year or so, the people we are buying the land from are letting us house sit their house in the mean time as they wont be living up here again for some time. So, we are packing and moving again, only just after doing it 12 months ago. We are very excited but it still takes a lot of energy etc amongst all the other day to day things. And so here are some things I have been sewing, a bag for Matts Mum for her birthday, out of fabric I bought from Ballarat Patchwork. I loved it so much, I jumped online and bought 3 metres of it!!! Nutcase, but I loved it.


And I have just about finished the first block, of Amities block of the month, all hand stitched which I have loved doing as this quilt is for moi!



And finally, a little package from amitie, some fabric for being a VIP, which I think I will make a little craft bag out of to keep some of my threads and things.


Have been busy trying to finish the tops for Sacha and Teagans new quilts too so will post some more pics of those hopefully later in the week

Bye for now
