Month: May 2008

okay…….in the last post that I just lost…..I said that I was avoiding typepad as there seem to be problems….well you can't read it 'cause it went to the nether regions of space….never to return. So second time around I will try to post.
Chooky Blue and Blueberry Lane have both received their PIF gifts but I wont' show a photo yet as Laila has still to receive hers.
I have also finished the projects for Mrs Martins cyber stitching day and can't post photos of  them  either. I will be taking them up to Karen tomorrow morning …..so if you would like to join in you have until Friday….and if you have joined in I would love to hear from you.
for all you typepad girls out there having trouble with the link……..type the name first…highlight it…click on the link icon and insert the blog address (or website address)
this goes for the post too…you need to highlight it after you have started typing and then change it….

so here goes a photo

this was taken from my back verandah a couple of months ago.

so maybe this post will still be here when I click on save!!!

Bye for now

I am almost finished the projects for Mrs Martins Quilt Shop stitching day on June 21st. As there are a lot of stitchers signed up to participate in Cyber Stitching, I thought I would give you a little looky at what I have been working on. The theme is friendship…..



the brown and blue have come together well with a dash of vanilla!!! Just the binding to do now.
If you want to know more about cyber stitching, visit Karen at her blog  to find out what it’s all about!!!

be back soon with some pictures of my PIF gifts that I have finished….yes….you read right….I have completed them all, now to get them posted!!!!

may the stitches be with you!!!

and look what I bought……….I just happened to wander into Craft Connection in Ferntree Gully and they were having a sale…..well what else am I supposed to do? Fat quarters for $3.50 each or 10 for $20…..of course I managed to find 10!!

the blue fabrics are my bargains ( I did double up on a couple). the 5 fabrics at the bottom I bought at Lily Patches, I popped in to see how June was going now that she has re-opened. I think they are At Waters Edge by Blackbird designs, mmmmm…..what shall I make?
I have started on my PIF gifts and hope to have them finished soon…..I haven’t forgotten….
Make sure you check out Leanne’s blog as she is having a giveaway……
and pop over to Natalie to share her news….how exciting!!!!

bye for now

and I have finished the binding on December’s garden…..well I actually finished it on Wednesday but today I took it to Foothills Fabric & Threads so they can hang it in their shop. Pop in and have a look if you are in the area.

I am very happy with the way it turned out, Melinda did a great job with the quilting too!

Have you checked out Mrs Martins Quilt Shop yet, she is having a cyber stitching day (along with the stitching at St Georges day) in June and I am designing 2 projects especially for the day. Quite a few girls have signed up…

Well, off to do some more stitching…..never enough time…I guess the housework will have to wait another day!

Have a good weekend.

A big thank you to every one who left a comment……and the winners are…..Sally , Sue Cahill and Patricia Denk. So if you email me your address I will send them to you!!

I am very excited this month to be the featured artist on the website Quilter’s Roost  in America. So pop on over and take a look. Jodi has 10% off my patterns, this is especially good for all you girls in the US. Jodi stocks heaps of patterns, books and fabric and the website is easy to look around.

I found this book the other day in an op shop and couldn’t resist…..haven’t had a chance to try any recipes yet but they seem to be good!!!

thats all for now
