AQC 2014.
I spent three days working at the Australian Quilt Convention this year in this wonderful World Heritage listed building. It is a great venue for these exhibits. There were many stunning quilts on display and if you want to see the finalists and the winner you can go the the official AQC site. The winning […]
FHFS – It Sure Is!
For the first time ever I have participated in an on-line swap. The group is FHFS – Friends Having Fun Swap. Our first challenge is an item with a Dresden plate. My swap partner , Keryn of Christmas Creations, is very organised and my parcel has arrived!! When I opened it I was speechless – […]
Computer Hospital.
It seems to be the season for it – computers that do not want to work. Ours is having problems with its power supply and is off for repairs. I am using an older laptop at the moment and am trying to be patient with its lack of speed. I apologise if I have not […]
Pink And Blue.
I am continuing the theme of finishing a few UFOs. This one isn’t too bad – it was a flimsy at the start of this year. It was one of the tops I spent time sandwiching a month back. It is a small cot sized quilt. Lots of cute little owls and a simple […]
A Not So Nice Surprise.
After a wonderful month of family activities I had planned to return to my sewing and catch up on a lot of quilting. As you can see there are a lot of flimsies waiting in line to be sandwiched and quilted. Unfortunately these plans went astray due to the unpleasant surprise I mentioned. I ended […]
An Incredible Surprise!
This is where I have been during the past week. I have had the craziest week I think that I can ever remember! I didn’t know we were going to the snow until 2 days beforehand. I also had no idea who else was going. A brief explanation is needed. It is my birthday next […]
Ribbon Eggs.
Thankfully, Easter is still a little way off. But I wanted to make a few of these now so there was no rush later. I keep seeing lovely ribbons in the stores and can’t resist using them in these projects. They are made using a felt base in the shape of an egg. I […]
Sunshine And Snow.
No sewing in this post! Totally holiday snaps. We had a lovely family holiday at Edrom Lodge near Eden, on the south coast of NSW. Our extended family booked out the whole lodge and had a wonderful Christmas together. The grounds were beautiful and we had a short walk over the lawn to reach the […]
A Little Bit Of Shopping.
I had a quick trip to Spotlight yesterday for a small number of purchases, and left with a smile after discovering a little discount, which I thought I must pass on. Spotlight has its own magazine, Get Creative, which costs 99c. On the back there is a $10 discount coupon on sales over $20. So […]
Very Cheeky!
While I was outside raking up leaves today, these two cheeky cockatoos just sat in the tree next to me. They were not at all bothered by having me near. I was able to make these tooth fairy pillows for our grand children while we were away. I hope they are not in a […]
