The week that was...

Last Wednesday and Thursday I attended a work shop in Geraldton with Helen Stubbings  from HugsnKisses .. We spend two lovely relaxing days ,



Amazing views and we kept watch for any passing whales ,but no luck....
















The first day Helen showed us how to work with colour pencils ,





Maybe one day mine MAY get finished and look a little like this....

Day two was a sit and stitch day, oh! also chatting and eating..



Was sew nice to met Helen  and learn some new techniques....... 










Hubby had been away on a bush camping trip and on his return I washed his favorite dusty old quilt which I thought should be binned BUT he insisted I could mend it for him......







Took some time sorting through my stash and pinning on all the patches. Needed some big ones to cover the holes but when I finished sewing them on Hubby was pleased..





I've also made a few "Doggy Blocks" to send to Karen from KaHolly who is collecting them to help folk from Hurricane Harvey



You can read about it at Karen's Blog HERE.. I will be making a few more...


Also made my 6 blocks for Fat Quarter Shop  Quilt-Along..












but as I sewed till 1am to finish them I realised when I took the photo only two were sewn together correctly... Guess I need to do some ripping...         GRRRRRRR!!!!!!










Happy Stitching
