Some pictures!!

This last week I have managed to learn how to upload pics more efficiently and quickly. Yay!! Anyhow these photos are a couple of projects I'm working on at the moment. The first photo is a finished top that will be a wall hanging for my house. I don't get to make a lot for the house as owning a shop I am usually always making samples. This is a design that was in one of the Australian craft magazines. Can't remember which one but gorgeous all the same.

And the next photo is a couple of projects I'm doing as some swaps. By looking at the right hand side of my blog you will notice I am a stitching angel. Well I think that the new pattern from Leanne Beasley(don't you just love her work!!) will be one of the projects I will send.
And the other is a block of the month by Leanne Beasley ( can you tell I love her designs!!)called A Quilter's Journey. I'm really loving this project. This is Block 7, only two more to go! And if that isn't enough, I've been baking...

Well, hopefully that will have given you an insight into my busy life. I'm off now to devour one of those muffins on my back deck in this gorgeous weather we are having. Catch you later!

Update on Angel projects

Well I have started on my angel projects for this year but of course I can't show you. However I will say that they are in colours I normally would not use but I'm finding it a refreshing change. Will hopefully have some sneak peeks soon. Keep visiting!!

Angel Assignments!!

Helen has posted our angels names to us....another overseas friend I hope to make!! I had such fun last year that I'm keen to get started already. Have a few ideas up my sleeve. Will have to visit my angel's blog for more inspiration!

Helen's Angel Swap!

Hi everyone!!

Helen from Hugs'n'kisses is having another angel swap. Cut off date is real soon so get in quick if you want to participate. I had lots of fun last year doing the swap and I was lucky enough to have someone from overseas as my partner.

My BOM's are going along nicely and will hopefully have some photos....yeah yeah I know. I keep saying that don't I. Have to learn how to upload from the camera and then I'll be right!!

Anyway, hope this finds you all well and I'll be back!

A giveaway link

Sue Daley is having a great giveaway over on her blog but you need to be quick it finishes tonite!

Have been doing a little work on my BOM's here a a few pics of Gail Pan's.


And I have finished block three of Quilter's Journey by Leanne Beasley. However I've left it at the shop will have photos later in the week.

This weekend has been a busy one. I hold a stitch-in at the shop on the last Saturday of every month. We usually start about five and grab a takeaway tea usually Chinese but decided to actually cook this month. So yesterday was spent making moussaka and chicken wings in the oven a couple of different ways. Along with the normal salad, it was a hit as there were not many leftovers. The night is loads of fun with a couple of glasses of wine we have a good laugh at ourselves and each other. Each month I look forward to these nights as I get a chance to sit down with the girls and find out what each is up to. We then hold a retreat at the end of the year and that's a ball of fun. A very tiring weekend with not much sleep and a bit of alcohol and loads of stitching. Our motto is 'what goes on at camp stays at camp'. This year we are having a frock night (we have to buy a frock at Vinnies) and see who has the most outrageous outfit, as well as karaoke, it's bound to be a laugh. May just have to take the camera this year!!!

Hope your weekend has been just as enjoyable. Catch up soon.

Long Time No Hear!!

Hi there everyone. I'm sorry about the no posting. Christmas and Easter and all that time in between are just such busy times for me and the shop. Anyway I will try to be a little more frequent in my postings.

This year is the year for doing BOM's. At the moment I'm doing Journey of a Quilter and Butterfly Garden by Leanne Beasley. I so love her designs so pretty and feminine. Also some freebies...Gail Pan's Cristmas one and the wonky houses although I haven't started that one just collecting patterns at the moment.

I've also joined Karen Martin's Christmas in July swap. So as you can see I'm very busy as well as running the shop. Life can be a little hectic.

Decided a new year meant some changes to the look of my blog. Hope you like it!

Will sign off now and hopefully some pics next time.
