What did you do over the Weekend?????

On Friday night I was busy sewing along with everyone for FNWFs and you can see what I made HERE.
Saturday Helen, her SIL Jenny and I went to the club rooms and sewed more bunting…


don’t the tables look great!!!!!!!! All ready for the tearoom on Saturday for the hanging…

Sunday was brekky at the Starfish and then on to Geraldton to the craft show with the ladies .. We had a great day out.



this is the only photo I took… The club's challenge was “Snail Trails” and there were some amazing Quilts made.

and in-between I managed to piece together my Aiming for Accuracy Flimsy.  Which I am now busy pinning as it is going in the UFO section of our hanging… Opps!!!! flat battery in camera sew will post photos next time of A 4 A.

OFW, A4A and More……

This week I managed to add another row to my “I Spy” Hexie quilt….



It’s slowly growing…….. Nice to join Karen and ladies again this week after being away...

Last Thursday we were given the blocks that joined the top part of our Aiming 4 Accuracy quilt together….




It’s looking great.. I am very happy with it and the virtual quilt, can see it top right of my blog, was such a good help with placing colours. Thanks to Helen who updates it for me each week.

Have stitched Ellyn’s September Stitchery block…… Sew now you can do the one for October Ellyn, thanks XX




and I have got the builder back on site as I decided the houses needed some more quilting….


Silly me….

Today I was surprised to find a Red and White card in my mail box which meant there was a parcel in the Post Office for me….



Look at the lovely gifts Mhairi sent me with her Special Rug Mug. It has a little pocket for a reel of cotton and a wee pincushion in the top right hand corner.… Two FQs, a thread catcher and a tape measure as well. Thank you Mhairi……

and now it’s time for a Milo and bed… Goodnight

It’s hard to believe it’s over three years ago and it’s time for our “Triennial Hanging” again in 10 days. They have helped me finish many projects over that time …  Thanks Heaps Ladies,

Where did this Week Go??

Have been meaning to post since I arrived home on Monday after visiting my Big sister in Perth for her birthday . Was lovely to spend some time chatting with her.
Now I can show you the gift I made for her…



While in the big smoke I also visited my DD and family. I was very spoilt having my dinner cooked every day and my GD even made yummy pancakes for our brekky on Sunday..




We had wild wet windy weather while there but this clever bird keep herself and babies sheltered in a great spot under the patio..

  




On my return there was some lovely mail on the table waiting for me…



Just love this Bunting Postcard from my blogging friend Sunny…..

As it’s nearly midnight again I must away to bed, goodnight.

FNSI with the three Amigos

I went to Perth for my Big Sister’s BD and then spend some time with my DD2 and kids.
I enjoyed sewing with both my DD and GD for  FNSI .



I managed to trace some of my BOMs and stitchery on the light box



and a little stitching.

DD put together two baby quilts



even though she does need to make dance costumes from the bright pink lycra on the table.

and GD sewed away on these pencil cases…



Saturday night we continued sewing after the great AFL game. “Go the Dockers”

DD caught up on some for Aiming 4 Accuracy blocks



while I was doing lesson 13…
after sewing some of it together I lost a four patch block. I looked everywhere and couldn’t find it.Couldn’t make another as I had already pieced a small 2” block to have enough..NO!!!! Then I finally found it…



Can you see it?


Done!!!!

Thanks Wendy for a great weekend of sewing.

I am off to have a warm shower and put on some jamas as it is cold,wet and windy in Perth..
