Peace Cranes

 
 
I feel like I've not touched the
 sewing machine for so long.
But finally I'm back to the
peace cranes.
 
 
The rows are together.
With the heat of the next few days,
the air conditioner and sewing machine
will be running hot.
Hopefully the sashings will be together
and the peace cranes will look a bit
more like a quilt.

Friendship

 
 

In an evening class at Stanford University, the last lecture was on the

mind-body connection, the relationship between stress and disease.

The speaker said that one of the best things a man could do for his

health is to be married, whereas one of the best things a woman could

do for her health was to nurture her friendships with her girlfriend.

Women connect with each other differently, provide support that can

help each other deal with stress and difficult life experiences.

Physically this  "girlfriend time" helps to create more Serotonin,

a neurotransmitter that helps combat depression and can create

a feeling of well being. This is a VERY GOOD thing for

our health.

 

So every time we sit and sew with your friends,

pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself

for doing something good for your health

We are very very lucky.

There is still time [just] to get a new
quilt done for Christmas.
 
 
Or maybe get a head start on next year.
Very limited stock available for these kits and only $150.00
 
 
I have mentioned I enjoy Christmas stitching, so this
could be the project for you.

Christmas stitching

 
 
Melbourne Cup is over for another year.
No winner picked again,but I was a fun day,
and the rain held off long enough.
 
So it's time to start thinking Christmas.
I'm not a fan of the rush of the silly
season but I do enjoy some Christmas stitching.

I do have some lovely small [and larger]
Christmas project in the shop at the moment,
get started before it does become
 the mad rush of the silly season.

Sorry no pictures, blogger and I are not
talking to each other at the moment [once again]

Only one week to go

 
Grand reveal for the

I have had a sneaky look at a couple of the quilts/quilt tops
already. They look great.
 
 
See you on the 10th with your quilt.
Maybe with an extra surprise or two.
