world's biggest toilet bag?



The toilet bag is all finished Di - are you sure you made the big size!! This is huge, Brian wants to know why I think I need one so big. I sure will need a big suitcase to fit it in. I have suggested I take a near empty case so I can bring lots of goodies back home!! 

Hope you all having a great week, cheers sample sister B

Gollies finished!!!

Just kidding!.........

Is this the same pattern as yours Kerryn?

I've been thinking....

As soon as I saw this picture I knew what I wanted to do for my version of the Gollies quilt idea.
Yes a row-by-row!!
AS I see things I like I can do a row of them, rather than making a whole quilt of each.
(Unfortunately there are no instructions for this, only the photo).
What do you think?!

it's legal!

 Yup the boy got his Learners yesterday! You should have seen the grin on his face. Do you think I'll be grinning after a few lessons?

Ok back to quilting, just thought I'd share :-)

Done and Dusted



Whoopee my sisters wall hanging is finished!! Sorry about the photography but just thought I would share it with you all. Also I am learning how to blog. Won't tell you how long it has taken to get this far!!

Anyway it is fun to learn new things and know that I can trip up amongst friends.

Thanks for all your help Raewyn.

I am looking forward to the Gollie challenge and will no doubt be kept up to date after you all meet next month

Take care,sample sister B

UFOs galore!

Well I am all signed up now to blog for the first time - thank you Raewyn :)

I am enjoying an evening of sewing with friends and am working on one of two UFOs that I brought along - did I really think I would get them both finished!

Gollies Galore

Who said I need to make another golly quilt when I already have one made!!

Yay!

Awesome up and Running!!

hello!

I finished the wee pencil case I was working on last month. I look forward to our next meeting.

Bye for now,

Sample Sister "L".............:-)

Lets get started!

Here it is, a blog for a group of friends who like to sew, patchwork and quilt. We call ourselves the Sample Sisters. Some of the sisters are new to this blog thing so I think that as well as having fun with our stitching and our chatting, we can have fun with the blogging. I invite the Sample Sisters, and you all know who you are, to have a go at writing a first post...keep it simple and we can discuss technicalities when we meet :-).
(Give me a call or flick me an email if you need help to get started !)
Happy stitching!!
Raewyn
