Tea for two.....

Forgot to mention I received this lovely teapot for my birthday.  Isn't it just divine..  It reminds me of Red Brolly and tea with friends....

Happy Stitching for the next few days.

Sunny Sewing days ... stitching with friends

Well I didn't know where June July went, so just tell me where did August go.....  But stitching with friends makes it all worthwhile.  Life is for laughing, stitching, chatting and just going with the small stuff that comes with each day.

I have been stitching though and have  progressed with some of the projects. Here are a few photos.

Love Entwined progress...............

This block is going to be very addictive....  But it is  a lot of work but such fun to achieve something in 18 months like this amazing quilt.

Here is my progress today.

Happy Stitching for another day

Achievements for the day.....................

I have achieved quite a lot for the day.

It was sunny in my part of the world was it in yours??

I have prepped the love entwined compass and partly pieced the paper puzzle for BOM Love Entwined.

An afternoon in the sun at Omaui.................

Does anyone out there know how to hasten the speed of children getting organised for a day out??  That is apart from actually treating them like babies and doing every thing your self.....

We just about didn't have this day out but it was such a warm beautiful day..... who would have thought it was still winter.  Swimming was on the agenda they decided and they needed........... flippers...............swimhats..........??boogie board.............towels.........

Sad thing was we forgot about the insect repellent and that is what we needed the most!!

Perfect day at Omaui.....

too many sandflies

 

Symposium Stitching- Just all day immersed in .......

Hi again, I have been home from symposium for a week and a half and I now have time to show you what I achieved in these classes...
If you ever get a chance to attend a symposium you should, the international tutor and local tutor immersion is immense and these tutors are very talented you always learn a lot and come back with lots of ideas.  There is also Lectures with international tutors which you get a lot out of also.  The exhibitions themselves are truly inspiring.

More on this quilt later I have also made small wedges and medium wedges and they are then going to be joined to gether.  You may get a glimpse in this next photo.

This quilt is the pattern I received in June and was on my blog when I received it.  This is the first block, I have three more prepped and ready to stitch.

 

Until next time Happy Stitching

Love Entwined BOM progress

So sorry I haven't blogged much in July, however I do not know where that month and June have gone, it will be spring soon and the garden will be calling.  I have been gallivanting, at taupo symposium last month and school holidays also.

I have had my head down doing the Yahoo BOM quilt by Esther Aliu - LOVE ENTWINED,

Here is my progress today.  I hope to complete part two by the end of the week, otherwise I will get behind and not a good idea as there is 16 months to go.  I am loving this BOM.

 

Its nearly midnight time for sleeping.....Until tomorrow's progress

 

Happy Stitching
