Spring Time - Full Swing

Production with a Capital "P"

I DID have fun last weekend at Sewjourn! I made this lovely quilt as a surprise for my daughter for Christmas. It was a bit of a surprise for me too, as we stopped in Gisborne on the way there, and found the lovely fabrics in the "Drapers of Mt Macedon" a lovely quilt shop. I made some more baby wraps for my market stall in December and some little bibs for a friend who has recently had a beautiful baby boy called Will.

Here's a photo of a Spider Web table runner that I made for my market stall.

. . . and I had already made this quilt top, but did the quilting a Sewjourn. The colour is not so good in this photo, but it is a lovely lot of different reds. Still need to bind it.

Sewjourn Bliss

A weekend of heavenly sewing and companionship -

It couldn't be described better here, here, here, and here.

Thanks girls for a wonderful weekend

This is my Around The Block squares on the design wall

Finally putting it all together

Sewing here I come . . .

My garden will have to survive without me for the weekend.

I'm off to Sewjourn!

YEAHHHH!!!! (I must get packing)

This is Natasha by the way, and you can get this great pattern for

"Kinder Girls" from Ric Rac

I've been hanging out here a lot lately

beautiful happy iris's at the back door

and thanks has to go here to Leanne, who I'm sure is the one who sent me some seeds last year. No success last year with them and I thought I'd lost these special poppies, but NO! Up they came this year and what a surprise I got this morning to see this beauty.

lots and lots of Californian Poppies - I love them

and Love in the Mist always captivates me

Life is good

Just for fun

The miniature bed quilt is all finished and delivered to the 3 storey Doll House owner.

It was fun to do, if not a bit fiddly, and I just couldn't help myself and had to do some pillows

I sewed in 2 cent coins in the corners for weights, so it would hang down the sides.

Look at my gorgeous Picciolo book I received in the mail this week.

. . . and a spot of scrap sewing to brighten up a Prints Charming pillow.

Lots of time in the garden

Look where I found the pussies

Thanks to all the supporters of our Craft Garage Sale. It was a great day, despite the rain and I think we caught up with almost every craft lady in Ballarat.
