Red Home delights -cant wait to see what this turns out like!


Look at this gorgeous quilt - The Birdhouse - Natalie Bird  I've just started it and it is soo addictive, keep you posted on the progress.  The book is called RED HOME.

While I have been taking it easy after a bout of vertigo, dizzy spells head scan at hospital ( yeah waiting 6 hours is not pleasant and I couldn't even stitch) and not being able to get my head off the pillow I was itchin to stitch again, perhaps you call it withdrawal syptoms and now I can't sleep woke up at 5.17am and needed to get back to sleep so I got up made the kids lunches and thought I would get onto the blog as I have been so slack lately then I know I will be hopeless in the morning, but you gotta do it while you can.  (I have a great husband by the way).  Take care keep you posted on all those lovely applique blocks.

Spring is upon us enjoy each day like its the last! STITCH TO YOUR HEARTS CONTENT

Well winter is past and we had such a mild winter when spring came so did the snow, hail and rain, those poor lambs.

I have been busy stitching away and I have been wondering how to put this block together in a medallion quilt,  watch this space. I recently attended the Melbourne Craft and Quilt Fair in July and got some delicious reproductions from Threadbear and also Carolyn's Quilting Room.


WATCH THIS SPACE



I have made a wool bag and held a class in this, it is a good large size and can carry lots of packages home from the quilt shop (shsh don't tell your husband). This is in Quilters Homespun. Let me know if you want to know the magazine no and I will look it out.





Have you all seen my cathedral window cushion finished? I have also held a class in this it was lots of fun, I remember making this at least 28 years ago.  Yes that long.  I have been quilting for a very long time with a few breaks in between when the children took up all my time.  The youngest is 7 years and the oldest is 19 years and first year at university.
