A Little Bit Of Retail Therapy

Teena's is having a ''BIG SALE'' on her website http://www.teenas.com.au/ she closed her shop many months back and has been working from home... but now she wants her home back... so go check her site out all fabric's are $6 a metre..... go shopping girls go grab a bargain.

Oh drool drool drool.... I just love ''Amy Butler'' and have wanted to buy her fabric for such a long time but it is a bit pricey here in Aussie so I went shopping at
http://www.quiltersbiz.com/qbcommunity/ they have very good prices there and a bargain bin and with the Aussie dollar being so good... even better.............. if you buy some of the craft magazines look out for their advertisement as there are codes which will get you another discount when used.... I will be going back there to shop again over the next week.... Oh and it it took no time at all to get here.....

"Stitchin Angel Swap"

The Redwork Angel Quilt Is Finished

The ''photographer'' hasn't done the quilt justice hahaha... I must say I am really really please with the finished product and I must say a big thank you to my friend Jane for her 6 swap blocks and to all the other girls who made the blocks.... THANKYOU.....

I wrapped it up today and took it to the young lady who has cancer in our small town... she gave me a big hug and was quite surprised that someone had thought of her... I wasn't there for when she opened it but I am sure I will hear from her soon.
And 20 more Little Baskets!!!

YEAH I have finally caught up... ready for the next 5 this Sunday... I think they are looking quite cute up on my design wall... mind you I am going to run out of room if I am to make 200!!!!

This week a little bit of creativity...

A little bit of finishing off... A little bit of catching up......

These two little applique pieces from ''Hatched and Patched'' were so quick and easy... they could be a little table mat or an afternoon tea mat with a special friend or a wall hanging for a nursery but they are very sweet...

Now this one I started awhile ago... I found it in a craft magazine but for the life of me can not remember which one... each block is framed with a dark green and the border is a mustard print...

Here are 15 more baskets... but I need to do about 20 more to be caught up... which isn't going to happen this week as I am off to Perth for a few days... number 1 daughter graduates from Uni on Thursday after 5 years of studying Law and Politics.... WOOHOO.... well done girl...

These redwork angel blocks were done by a few girls around Aussie, Canada and USA... it is a swap... BUT... one of my friends who was also in this swap and lives very close to me... we decided to put our swap blocks together and make a quilt for a local girl who is battling cancer... the news isn't good for her... my friend and I thought it would be nice for her to know that there are others thinking of her and wishing for the best that can be... and what better than to have angles wrapped around you...

While in Perth I will get some more red fabric for the border and some backing fabric... then butt in chair and madly sew to have it quilted and to her as soon as possible... Once finished I will post another photo...

Over At IFQ

At the IFQ site I am in an event where we are doing a ''round robin christmas table runner''... this is the addition I have added to Ella's... stitched holly leaves... Ella would like her block turned on point next.
And this is my ''round robin christmas table runner''... Carole has already received this and added a couple of rows of fabric and appliqued some stars... it looks great so far... more photo's in the gallery at IFQ.

These little beauties are for a ''floral block swap'' at IFQ... make 6 swap 5... I used my hand dyed fabric for these on a sage green background they are 9 1/2 inches... I think I might make place mats with what I receive back... I love this pattern and really should do more with it... a table runner maybe or a table topper.....
The 2nd House Pet Lamb

Isn't he so sweet... he is so tiny a lot smaller that Isla... his mum is Lucy (she is my favourite sssshhhh)... born last night and very wonky on his legs this morning... might call him Leon??

A Busy Week I Have Had...

Cushions for my local craft group... we are having a stall sometime in October... so us girls are busy making saleable items....
Remember we made the "wall of pot holders"?... well they have nearly all gone and that is just from visitor's to our craft rooms and one of our girls buying up for Christmas...

Here are the 2nd and3rd row additions to my ''ostrich round robin'' at IFQ... pinwheels was the pattern for the 2nd row... I have added mine to the corners... and flying geese for the 3rd row... PHEW finished just in time for the 4th row pattern to be given to us... if you get a chance go to the IFQ link and check out the gallery... wonderfully talented girls are over there.

This is my ''piece o cake'' BOM that I have been doing with a group of friends... sorry that it is a bit dark... each BOM was based on something to do with friendships....

As you can see even though I haven't been here to post I have been busy sewing away.

Now off to catch up with some little baskets.
