Bit of stitching today

Very Lazy Day --- today..... up early this morning and  got the garden watered and potted around doing a few have to do jobs, then what else can a girl do  on a VERY HOT day but close the doors take the phone off the hook  put the air conditioner on  then  pot around in the sewing room .

Have done several stitchery’s over a period of time and just placed them away for a rainy day .... Well let me reassure you today is not a rainy day..... The current temp is just over 40 degrees (f) so definitely not a rainy day ...... but as it is so hot I have been sewing up some of the stitcheries into small zipper bags.  

 

 

                                        These two  need the binding sewn down  - tonight ‘s job while watching a DVD  

 This one I will work on later to put together ...off to enjoy a large glass of something COLD to drink

 

 

Cheers Marc

 

 

great day

Great day today – spent in the sewing room ..... Only need to found some fabric for a border and backing. Enjoy your evening cheers Marc  

 

 

Getting there ....

Well .. it has been awhile  since my last post... life at the moment  just seems to  be flying ..... Sometime ago (Monday, January 19, 2015I) ago I posted that I would set a quest to finish Rosalie Quinlan – Scandinavian Rose stitchery’s

But alas like so many of us some days the mystery tour in life takes a different path ..... but early hours of this morning after several DVD’s playing in the background and cuppas of herbal teas ... I finished the stitching ... hopefully today after playing the domestic queen I will find the fabric and start cutting and piecing ......

 

 

 

 

Need your help

Unfortunately I am unable to post anything through an app I had on my iPad  called blogsy .... do you have any suggestions of a current app available so I can post using photos I have taken via my iPad 😃

Addictive

Having recently enjoyed a great weekend at Hettie's Patch quilt shop in Adelaide where along with some lovely ladies had the great pleasure attending a workshop with a very pleasant tutor Judy Newman.... The pattern l picked to be creative with was "Emma Mary ".

No this is not my effort (chuckle)

But l did get a start on the centre

Finding the hand stitching very relaxing .... If this beastly ... Hot weather continues a lot more will be achieved this weekend take care. ..... Marc

Late night ... But worth it

While watching the return of Doctor Blake on Abc last night

Followed by Silent Witness and a couple f DVD's I worked on the 1inch squares for the "Spring Fever" quilt

that's all for now as the weekend brings out the domestic duties and

Time with the family

Enjoy your weekend.

 Cheers Marc

Plodding along

The hand stitching is a wrap.... If you remember from a previous blog I mentioned last year I attended a workshop at Hetties in Adelaide with the lovely tutor Jenny kingwell ... Well the needle turn is finished and the blocks are on the display sheet ... So over the next few days or weeks the checkerboard blocks need to be cut stitched and stitched again then.... The quilt assembly can begin .... Looking forward to a nice herbal cuppa tea .... So until next time .... Cheers Marc

From last year - workshop

Last year (now that sounds so long ago) I attended a workshop in Adelaide, with Jen Kingwell and the subject matter was one of the lovely quilts inside this book


 is it not just gorgeous ..... so the last few months I have been working on this projects it will most probably take me until this time next year to complete this project ... but we all must have a goal to work towards (right) . I have good intentions this year to finish a few of my UFO's ...it seems I have been busy making swap items of late that, I have stepped back with swaps this year..... It is not that I have not enjoyed swapping I have enjoyed the mystery tours and fun in participating in swaps with my online friends.
Like most of us  there comes a time where you just need to prioritise........ until next time Marc

A day to myself

Well maybe .... Very warm here in the sunny Riverland, the home is once again empty nest ... So for the last few hours played catch up and played the domestic queen and pulled the weeds out ... Now enjoying a cold drink and nice shower... Going to put my feet up and think about what I might do with these threads I picked up a few weeks ago from the local op shop

Cheers Marc
