Catch up

 

 

A bit of a catch up on what I've been sewing,

or at least playing with.

ALL of the peace cranes are finally finished.

I've enjoyed making them, but they do take a long time.

 

Next came the placement of the blocks,

this also take me a long time.

Can't have two that are similar together,

or even close.

 

 

Then the cutting of  sashing, cornerstones and borders.

Some blue and some assorted asian fabrics,

again I had to have a good variety of colours and prints.

A new cutting blade makes all the difference,

why do we leave it so long between changes.

 

 

Now just to get to the sewing machine,

sounds easy.

Tin Love

from Gutermann, how could anyone blame me.

10 Good Reasons

 

10 Good Reasons To Buy Fabric

 

 

1.      It insulates the cupboard where it is kept

2.     It keeps the economy moving. It is my duty

to support cotton farmers, textile mills and

quilt shops.

3.     It is less expensive and more fun than

psychiatric care.

4.     I'm participating in a contest - the one who dies

with the most fabric wins.

5.     It keeps without refrigeration, you don't have to

cook it to enjoy it you never have to feed it,

change it, wipe its nose or walk it.

6.     Because I'm worth it.

7.     Like dust, it's good for protecting previous

empty spaces in the house, like the ironing

board, the laundry basket and the dining room

table.

8.     It's not immoral, illegal or fattening. It calms the

nerves, gratifies the soul and  makes me feel

good.

9.     Because it's on sale.

9.     Buy it now before your husband retires and goes

with you on all your shopping trips.

Charity Quilts

 

Ruth and Margot have been very busy

making quilts for the Corowa Hospital Nursing Home.

 

 

This is one that I have quilted

 

 

and this is another.

 

I've lots count of how many quilts these two

busy ladies have made.

Pactchworkers are just the nicest people,

giving up so much of their time, energy

and fabric for so many worth while

causes.

Long Weekend

 

It's lovely to have a break, a little extra time for

 

 

Pinning the next hand quilting project, but

 I won't start stitching

until next winter. Finally the weather have changed 

for the better, and it is getting a little warm to be sitting

under a quilt.

Some gardening happened.

I even did some house work, I don't have pictures

but the kitchen drawers are a [little] bit

neater

Finally  the last of the peace cranes are together.

Time to get serious about sashing and borders.
