Update - Block Found

Yeay ... thanks to Aurely helping, prompting, suggesting I have found Block 1!!  Yes Di it was in the Block Roll, I just couldn't find the Block Roll!!

Hope you are all having a great weekend!!

Another "LATE" Achievement

Finished!! Block 2 of Country Friends ... just have to find Block 1 to go with it ... any suggestions as to where it might be hiding??
Now there was one more achievement/challenge that we were meant to have undertaken this month that I seemed to renege on, but can I say this I just love what all my other sisters came up with ... well done to the lot of you xx

Better Late than Never


Finished during Sample Sisters last night.  I hope you are all impressed with the fact that this has a zip in which I inserted all by myself (under Raewyn's watchful eye mind you)!!
Hugs to all my sisters.

My scrappy bag


I put this bag together using the left over scraps from a bigger bag I made to take my essential sewing supplies to Taupo.

I used the same basic pattern as Leeanne used for her grandaughter's library bag and it is the perfect size for essentials like the IPad, the library book, a magazine or 2 and most importantly the hat, scarf  gloves and a map book (just so we don't get lost!), I am sure I am going to need at symposium.

half my Sunday



This pattern is by Leanne Beasley, it is a great pattern, it could be jazzed up any way you like, I do believe Barbara is doing just that!
The fairy fabric is one I bought a couple of years ago from our lovely fabric rep that comes to the shop.
This is for my granddaughters 6th birthday.
I have been working on 'Raewyn's' wee blocks too & hope to have something to show you at our next get together.

Happy week...............have fun at Symposium to you gals that are going.

Sewing related but not patchwork

My finish for the day. A full on day of sewing and very happy with the result. Sorry the colour is not the best in the photo. The curtains look a little 'washed out' but you can get the idea. One bedroom down and 2 more to go!! Now back to some more enjoyable sewing, my latest patchwork project, our special 'Raewyn' squares. How are yours going?
