Hand Stitching ......

You might remember a few posts ago I mentioned DH and I went to Mildura for a speedway event, and I had a quick look in Spotlights. Where I purchased some fabric........ It is  not that I need to added any more fabrics to the stash I have at home (chuckle)
I made a few bags from the fabric and was waiting to get my acted together to finish off the bit of hand stitching. Well I have got my acted together and over the last two evenings while watching THE VOICE put that little bit of hand stitching in place.

these two pieces below need to be made up, but I am currently working on a swap, so like many of us will be put in the fabric stash for awhile..................

 have a great day    until next time Cheers Marc

Cupcakes.....

House work and other domestic things  where on hand today...... including some cooking and stitching.
Made some home made pizza's .... did not last long enough for any photos... but the cupcakes and ANZAC Biscuits did get a photo shot opportunity before  disappearing.

 

Shared the goodies with the out laws (DH parents) for afternoon tea...... 

now off to do a bit of hand stitching before .....the evening meal needs consideration

cheers Marc

While watching ........ THE VOICE  last night, finished the hand stiching on these two small bags.

Cheers Marc

I changed my mind

A few years ago I purchased my first jelly roll - Urban Chicks 1974  so Monday Afternoon

decided to cut into strips  

 and sew into strips with every 2nd strip turned

then changed my mind and now started making

Dresden plates

hope to have 20 plates made over the next ????? days

But I have so many other unfinished project waiting to have finishing touches on them. I can hear them.....  when I go in my quilting room very softly giving me a message .....what about me ????

hope you all have a great day

cheers Marc

Dust and fumes

DH enjoys speedway........ so yesterday was spent travelling to Mildura to watch, Australian Modified Saloon Title.............. did have a small stop at Spotlights (show and tell later). and a stationery shop for a few  supplies

Don't you just love the neatness and colours

the stationery supply shop had a church next door with great windows

Has the makings of a quilt ?????????

Got home at 2.30am this morning.... so might have a lazy day as works beckons me back tomorrow

Bit of love and care

A few weeks ago my sister save this old ladder and thought I might like it ,so last weekend when Sis came up to attend the wedding, she brought the ladder along to....... so today  Huddy spent some time giving the ladder some well deserved love and now has a home in my quilting room.

Take Care   .................. Cheers Marc
