update

finally finished this UFO that's been hanging around for a long time...

simple line quilting has come up a treat on it...
will be on the website when I manage to get time to list it...along with a couple of other things...
speaking of which I now have some Sewline Glue Pens in stock (not listed, but if you're interested, email me)


won this lovely fabric on ebay the other day...just enough to make 5 of these, now all I need is some white homespun, and it will be a small table centre.

and this crazy patchwork is going to become my cheque books cover, to keep in my handbag..
still working out the finer details of how to get it together...I know what I what to do...but we'll see?????

I think I'm addicted....

to Hexagons!


I purchased the first 3 copies of Vignette and looked and looked and thought yes, no, yes, no and finally thought why not????
So I started getting my fabrics together...I'm going to use only from the stash...even if I have to use EVERY single fabric in it....that's it!

I've done 6 of the embroidered flower fillers and last night I traced out another 10 and managed to finish 3 with the 4th one almost completed!

and this lovely quick and easy table runner was finally finished last weekend, just didn't have time for a photo session....

The curly girls are on 2 weeks holidays here in Victoria...poor ED has to go to Tafe all of this week...they are having a full week to make sure they get all of their course requirements done for the year...
me I'm off to work....only this afternoon and Friday afternoon off to spend with them, and of course the weekend....oh well, that Tattslotto man still can't find my place to tell me I've won!

have a great time doing whatever you are doing....
