About Me- Bird on the Border

My Photo
We have a wonderful son who has just married and I now have a wonderful daughter in law. So nice to have another girl in the family. My wonderful husband and I both work full time. We enjoy travelling ,going in our caravan, dining out and spending time with friends and visiting our children. Oh shouldn't forget "Tess" the spoilt black kelpie. I love anything country and Shabby Chic and I love patchwork and stitching and getting together with like minded ladies who love to do the same. I love catching up with friends over a cup of coffee , and the smell of biscuits cooking in the oven on a rainy day. I enjoy keeping in touch with friends I have met through blogging and sharing our sewing on line. I love going off on stitching retreats and quilting weekends with my quilting buddy Gail. And of course I love the birds in my garden. I also write the blog for our local quilt group Macintyre Quilters.

Sewing in the Rain


Yesterday I spent the day sewing ..... so nice sewing in the rain, doesn't happen that often.  I am in the SAL group this year, that will keep me from making excuses for sewing I guess . I made this lovely shoe bag. The pattern in by Anni Downs. I love Anni's work she is one of my favourite designers.  

Sometimes when I clean up my sewing room, which I might add often needs it, I get crazy ideas like cut up all the little scraps into one and a half inch squares or 2 inch squares. I actually had an opportunity to use them with this project.


All neatly stored in this little heart tin.


Notice the little frill of joined pieces... so cute. 
I think every girl should have shoe bags ...

Your bag is a lovely finish. Little tins of prepped fabric look so pretty.

Pretty shoe bags and nice finish with the applique. Good idea for storeing the scraps. I have some pretty empty tins sitting on my shelf could be waiting for scrap fabric.
