Looking for a photo I found this one of a display at the shop, a few years back.

Have a happy sewing week Sample Sisters!

Finally.......

Hi gals,  finally logged on!  Just saying helloo to all!

The find of today

I found a gollie pattern to add to our selection in a small town on our travels  yestersay. There were only about 6 shops in the town and one shop had knitting, sewing, embroidery and patchwork supplies. Everything was in boxes and on the floor, shelving was an unheard of concept I think. I found the pattern in the botton of a box. By the look of it the pattern may have been in the box for several years! There was also some very interesting material on display. The bolts were all wrapped in plastic and when I said I would like to make a purchase the shop owner who was well into her 80s suggested that unwrapping the plastic and measuring out the material was really in the too hard basket! Needless to say I walked out of the shop empty handed except for my $3 pattern which by the way has the material to make the appliqué gollie included!

Sorry there is no photo. I managed to work out how to take a photo with my iPad but downsizing it was beyond me. I will have to show you on my return.

For sister B

A great get together tonight but missed our chief executive who always keeps us focused and on track.  A decision was made, well as good as a decision as we can all make together, to start a golly quilt ... but not until next year!! - a decision that kind of made sense as A will be overseas next month and then D is going off to the South Island for a month or two.

A good selection of ideas to start with!!

How is everyone else getting on with inspiration for your Golly quilts?

See you all next week!

A big thank you to my friends

A  big thank you to all the special friends I have met in the past 2 years through my love of sewing. Everytime I look at my new cushions made with the lovely material you gave me for my birthday I will remember fun times with special women.

The last of my small projects completed!! Now there are 4 quilt tops waiting to be put together on my return.

All packed ready to head off on our adventure over in south West Australia. It is now a matter of waiting for the spray contractor and the fertiliser spreader, both of whom are chasing each other round the orchard at present, to complete their tasks. We are very lucky that at last we have a nice fine day and the orchard floor has dried out enough for heavy vehicles.

Happy sewing, I look forward to catching up with you all on my return
