sewrumptious!



This arrived in my letter box this morning! I think I have a pattern for my fabric. Might have to go for a walk to The Quilted Crow (ye haw).

What do you think?



My mama visited with a bundle of fabrics which her husband is clearing away... This is fabric I offered to rescue. I will make a skirt (for me) - like I have been doing recently. I got 'that look'.

I thought it would be so cool with black to frame it. Can you see the vision? Or have I gone a bit funny?

I did it again...

This is how I spent my New Years Eve. Another skirt for me. Finished free motioning it this morning.



I hope you all have safely moved into 2011 and this year brings us all much fun and chocolate!

Check it check it check it out!

This is the very first ever item I have made for myself to wear and I am pretty chuffed with it!



It is a Toni Coward versatile wrap from Make It Perfect Pattern.



This will be my last finished for 2010. Roll on 2011.

Hexy crazy



While the stitching hexagon group have a Christmas break I have moved on to 1/2 inch hexagons. Will be making a journal cover with these little ones. So relaxing to do in front of the box in the evenings...

We still have not got our Christmas Tree up! Christmas cooking gifts starts this week and cards/letters are all mailed so we are going good. How are you going?

Healing Hearts for New Zealand



When a total stranger offers some empathy it has a big effect. I love the healing heart quilt idea so I have contributed to Shirley's Healing Heart Block call out. Thanks to Jo who brought it to my attention.
