For you Leeanne - The tricky block


This is why I had to stay behind after class!! Lots of concentration required. Whoops I haven't trimmed up yet.


This is what can be achieved when one has a quiet house to themselves for an hour on a Sunday morning. Husband still sleeping and no grandchildren staying over!! Loved doing these blocks Raewyn. They went together so well, thank you.



This is what greets me first thing in the morning when I look out my kitchen window. This wonderful old rose has an amazing perfume. The windows get opened wide so I can enjoy.

Have a great week all my fellow 'sisters'.

With the help of My Sisters!!

This blog post is a joint post as without the help of my sisters these samples would never have been made!!

Firstly, a beautiful cushion made by the lovely Megan


and this cushion was ... started by Di, quilted by Leeanne and finished by me


and now should I make more stars, or do some shop sewing??? decisions, decisions!!

Stars in my eyes

I haven't made any more stars from my Star Mastery class but I did make another type of star.............................


This is like a mock Leymone star, I found the tutorial here......................



Fun to make!! I used a charm pack & some cool fabric for the background from our favourite shop! I might just have to make more!

Happy stitching sisters!
