Final football quilt

I have finshed the three football supporter quilts that I was aked to make. This is number 3. I will have to pack them up and get them to their new owners.

Secret Stitchers Angel

These are the three gifts I sent to my secret stitcher angel swap partner. I made a pin cushion, needle case and a fold up sewing companion.

I sent them to Krisztina http://www.enigmahmc.blogspot.com/, she lives in Budapest.

Mathilda's Quilt

I have made this quilt for a friends daughter who turns 1 next month.The embroidery is from a pattern by Leanne Beasley and the fabric is simplicity.

I have stippled the quilt.

Weekend Retreat

On the weekend 8 of us were invited to Carols farm just out of town for a retreat. Carol holds these wonderful weekends about twice a year and we have a great time sewing, eating, drinking, talking and laughing. I made these two rugby league supporter quilts for friends sons, using a flag for the centre.

Sorry the photos are blurred, I have a problem with my camera.

Stiching Angel Gifts

These are two of the gifts made for me by Berni Shell my stitching angel. Thankyou so much Bernie I really appreciate these lovely hand made gifts. Bernie also sent me a laundry bag,steam a seam, which you use to stick applique on with, some chocolate (which I have eaten) a postcard and badge from Seattle where she lives. Bernie also made and sent a lavender bag, but unfortunately we have very strict laws about bringing plant material into Australia so the package was opened by custome and the lavender bag removed. They sent me a note saying I could have the lavender bag "gamma irradiated" at the cost of $42.50, but Bernie and I decided the money could be better spent. Thanks once again.

Spring has sprung

Just couldn't resist sharing some of the lovely spring flowers with you.So far it is too warm for this time of the year and we desperately need rain, but this is some of what is happening at my place.

Apologies to all those in the Northern hemisphere heading into Winter.

Scrappy Quilt

I found this fabric on super special at Quilters biz in the US and couldn't resist it. I am visiting my family in Sydney this weekend and I thought I would give my daughter in law a choice between the two shaggies I have made. Or she can have both if she wants to.
