thoughts while placing the last stitches..................

Just put the last stitch in the binding on my daughter's 21st quilt, will share more photo's once she has received the quilt.
As I was stitching I was thinking how lucky I am to work at a fabulous quilt shop, then I thought aren't we all lucky to have such a fabulous place to visit and feel happy just from being there!
Kerryn you have created a really lovely little community by having your lovely shop.

Just my evening thoughts!

Happy creating Sisters!

Friend's and Companions Sew Along

My sew along quilt top is complete. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of being involved in a sew along. Thank you Raewyn for introducing me to Pam's blog and explaining to me what sew alongs are all about. Thank you Kerryn for your help with fabric selection. As always your eye for colour and combinations was 'spot on'.

Jeni from Woolen Willow's sew along

I am right up to date!! A great sew along with wool applique. The first time I have appliqued with wool and I am loving it. I am using aurefil wool thread and whip stitch. The thread 'blends' in so well with the wool fabric.

Jeni ran a competition to name this quilt and our very own Leeanne won. The quilt will be known as 'Life of Plenty'. Congratulations my fellow 'sister'. Leeanne's prize was a box of wool aurefil thread. She will have lots of fun with that I am sure.

I have no idea what is coming next but cats and pumpkins have been mentioned by Jeni. As for size? Jeni doesn't know yet what the finished quilt will be like, she appears to be designing as she goes. I wonder what this week will bring?

Thank you!

Thank you so much to my fellow Sample Sisters for all of my birthday wishes and lovely gifts. Xx

Birthday Reveal

This is Brian's birthday gift all laid out on our bed. I set it up while he was outside on his birthday. He sure got a huge surprise when he went into the bedroom. He is very happy with the new look bed.

look what I found!

While looking for some photo's I needed today I found some that you might like. A wee trip down memory lane!
