Happiness

I am a very happy Vegemite. I have one of my machines back!!! Yay! As soon as the call came I was off. I put mine and the loan machine together. I really have appreciated having the spare one from a friend, But you can see why I was happy to have mine back. There […]




Kitchen Windows Repeat.

I finally have a quilt to share. Both machines are still at the repair man, waiting for parts to arrive. I ended up piecing this quilt on the little machine that I borrowed, then had to send it away for quilting. Thankfully I was also able to complete the binding on the little machine. The […]




Stitching For Christmas.

It seems to be so far away, but I know from past experience that Christmas creeps up really quickly. I am trying to get ahead, but I know it will still be a mad rush in the end. I started with one of these decorations from a Bareroots pattern, Everything Nice Christmas Ornaments. And then […]




Keeping Hands Busy.

September has flown by. But Spring is here and we are enjoying some lovely sunny days. This is what is happening to our orange tree. We have only recently finished picking the last of the oranges but that wasn’t going to stop the blossom opening. The whole tree is buzzing with bees. I have been […]




What! No Machine?

I am having withdrawal symptoms. Both of my sewing machines are in for repairs. My large machine had error messages that I could not rectify, so I turned to my smaller machine (plan B). I had only been stitching for a few minutes before I noticed a smell and then saw wisps of smoke coming […]




Paris. Maybe. One day?

No. I am not lucky enough to be in Paris, but I have been using a lovely fabric range called Dance in Paris by Brigitte Heitland. She has designed a pattern for Zen Chic named Spring In Paris. I have followed her design almost to the letter. This is my version. It is about 60 […]




Many Colours.

While it has been cold outside, I have made the most of having my Harbour Blanket on my lap so I could finish the borders. This is a design from Attic 24. It is quite large. This is a double bed. I had a laugh when I saw this photo. The edges look so uneven. […]




August In Felt.

A few little bits and pieces have been finished. And all have been worked in felt. I made a box/cube using four Sue Spargo designs. Each of the designs was stitched onto a felt square. At first I was a bit stumped as to how to use the pieces. I think they were originally in […]




Jumping Into July.

It has turned very cold and wet. Not surprising for the middle month of Winter. But it still feels Brrrrrr….. . The trees have taken a while to change colour but the last two weeks have changed all of that. Perfect weather to be inside stitching. And that has led to a finish. My Tinsel […]




Making Progress.

Bits and pieces are starting to come together. Always good to see progress. The last block for Tinsel has been completed. So now the nine blocks are ready to go together. There is then more applique to go on to overlapping blocks. Plenty to keep me busy with this project. I have also manged to […]
