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.

Bobbin Storage



After curing the  hangover what can I do with the empty container.....    Dress it up and use it to carry bobbins in. I dressed mine up to carry the threads for my Sue Daley projects.






 I couldn't make up my mind which fabrics to use for my pin cushion  ... maybe I will make both.


Love the colours Anni Downs uses .... I tried to use very similar ones 

Finished pin cushion  for my SAL (anAnni Downs design)
I also decided to finish filling 2 other little items that were lurking in my sewing room suing " finish me please ...."
 Blue Pin cushion designed by by Sue Daley  the  2 others designed by Anni Downs.


My next project started ..... Sewing case by Anni Downs
