Not much sewing has been happening this week. I have started a black and white project, this is how the blocks look, but as it is school holidays we are going to see our grandsons and bringing some of them back to Narromine for a holiday.
This is the label put on the quilt from the last post. I will be delivering the quilt whilst we are in Sydney. Hope everyone had a great Easter.Golf is in full swing and I have had one round that was almost golf, the rest have been very ordinary.
After finishing the top on Sunday, I decided to quilt it on Monday. I have stippled the small squares in the centre and have quilted straight lines both ways on the outer squares.
5 hours both days. The close up of the quilting doesn't show up in my photos.
Just the label to do.
It was Club Quilt Narromine get together today, we had 10 ladies turn up for a great day. Shiela,an old friend visited us , it was lovely to see her again. I completed the quilt I am making as a gift for Kalan, who turned one last December. The top is complete, I will quilt it this week.
It was Club Quilt Narromine sewing Sunday yesterday, although we were few in number we had a good day. This is a quilt I am making for a friends baby. It is to celebrate his first birthday and christening. I have used wildflower serenade fabric. It will be finished soon.
This is the centre.The pattern is a freebie it is called Canterbury (www.redroosterfabrics.com).

The beach at our resort at Coffs Harbour. The day after we arrived in Narromine, we were comandeered to help clean an old rental property, owned by our son. This took us the best part of ten days!!! I have got my sewing machine out and have started on a project. Looking forward to seeing all those going to GDITC at Nundle.
DH's brother and his wife are visiting us from England for a month so I shall be on an extended holiday until the end of Feb. Will be in touch when I get back. Happy sewing to every one.
First apologies to all the bloggers that check out my blog and have discovered that I am knowhere to be found. This is what I have been doing, painting the inside of my house.
You don't really get the difference that a coat of paint has made, but I am really happy to have done it.
We had a Club Quilt sewing day today and made Maverick stars, this is what I achieved.
My laundry.
The computer room. I am submitting my decorating project as my first finished challenge of the month.
I made this folder for my friend Kerry as a Christmas gift.It appeared in Australian Country Threads Vol9 no2.
Here is the beautiful wall hanging I received from Marcia in Chookyblue's SSCS. I love it.
The Christmas angel has pigtails made from embroidery thread with little red bows and a real jewel around her neck.
Thankyou to Marcia and also to Chookyblue who has done a fantanastic job organising us all.
This is a quilt I made, I was given the kit by my son and his family for Christmas a couple of years ago. It is called past times. The cushion I received at our Christmas party last year, it is made by Ros, who has since moved away, so I treasure it.
I went to folk art classes for a while and made a few things that can be displayed. My artistic ability is limited, but I did enjoy it.
This is my cyber-stitching Santa.
Another folk art piece. I am flying to Sydney this afternoon to pick up Elliott who is coming to Narromine for a holiday. He starts school in January .
As I am still making gifts I cannot reveal I thought you may like to see some of the Christmas things I have made and decorate my home with.The tree is shaggy.
Have a merry Christmas.
