For Kirsty's Wedding

2012-02-16T03:30:00.000-08:00

Today I was feeling pretty pleased with myself.... I have finished the quilt I started at Kerry's retreat in November. It's going to be a wedding present for my lovely niece.
Hope she like's it ????

One of Kerry Swain's Patterns

All I have to now is get it to the quilter and do the bind. Doesn't sound like much before next weekend does it ? Luckily I have made a pre booking with the quilter. Yeh!

Pink Hearts and Favourite Things

2012-02-15T06:25:00.000-08:00

I have finally started on the "my favourite things quilt" I have been SO.... wanting to get to it.

I have done the appliqué on the cup cakes block- not a lot, but a start...........I really don't have any experience with needle turn so it will be a challenge for me.

I am also working on this beautiful stitchery by Rosalie Quinlan.

A little peek at a trial........??????

2012-02-05T02:17:00.000-08:00

No photos today sorry. After sewing all last weekend I had to attack some boring household tasks this weekend. Hubby is sick of mowing, I am sure the grass is growing before the days mowing is done. One should not complain because it is so much better to see such a green garden than drought parched land. I hope none of you are suffering flooding.

A Wet Weekend

2012-01-29T05:21:00.000-08:00

We have had a wet weekend... the garden is loving it .....I had some sewing time .....nice.

Hubby, Bernie tried out his butchery skills ...his first attempt at making home made sausages. They were pretty darn good. Some bratwurst ( butcher flavour pack added) and some Yugoslav paprika sausages (Thanks Ned for the recipe).

He also practiced his culinary skills and cooked all weekend mmmm...... nice, I love it when he cooks........and I sew...... Hasn't mastered the washing up yet, but you cant win them all LOL...

Some home made pasta was also on the menu, there is nothing like it, it is so good compared to the dry bought variety. Then some beautiful beef in red wine done in the pressure cooker... I was very spoiled.

So green

So many flowers

One of my favourite things in the garden

Trying out some new materials for bags ..Plastic mesh for a beach bag

The kids will love this one

Monster Pockets and Picnic at the Beach
Country Sampler Designs- Quilters Shack Bundaberg

I can see this as a pool bag fro a little friend.

Just love this fun fabric.

Yep . another Hootie bag Natalie Ross design. Love 'em
Started this one pre Christmas - finished this weekend!

Busy making sausages

Not bad for a beginner

Looking OK so far - Bratwurst Snags

Anyone for home made pasta? His Italian Godparents would be proud !

A Nostalgic Day in My Sewing Room

2012-01-16T01:24:00.000-08:00

Finally I have a day at home and a day to sew. A perfect day cloudy with showers- looking out at my flooded garden after the 3 plus inches of rain we had Saturday night. No watering required today.

Where do I start?

Finish the little things I thought......

Remember the Sally Giblin stitchery from a few months back? Well I actually did 2 stitcheries one in mauve and one in pink so today I made them into cushions. Yeah! Two things finished.

The special thing about finishing these today was thinking about my grandmother. I learned to sew on my Grandma's Singer treadle. Fixing zips in Grandpas pants ... can you believe that.. the worst job a sewer can do ! Just something we had to do then. Well my dear grandma is no longer with us and now I have her old singer complete with the zipper foot.

While I was away I found this new beauty at the Quilters Shack in Bundaberg. I just had to have it... The old and the new.... I would have never contemplated a "Singer" sewing machine until this one just struck a cord in my heart and I had to have it..... I believe she is still with me in many ways.........

So the little cushions were made on the new/ old style singer and quite surprisingly it did OK.

Memories are wonderful things......By the way her favourite colour was purple....

First completed items for 2012

Completed on the new singer

What a lovely Wedding

2012-01-11T18:42:00.000-08:00

Now I have a daughter and a very proud son. The wedding was on Saturday . It was a lovely day. Fine and hot but not a cloud in the sky. My day was emotional but extremely happy. I think I held off until they started their walk out and then there were tears, of joy of course.
The bride looked beautiful and our son so handsome. There is a feeling of pride and achievement in us knowing our only child has found a beautiful partner, established a home, married and is truly happy. It was one of those weddings that just felt right, both families mixed and partied on into the night. We really had 3 days of celebrations dinner the night before with any out of town guests. the wedding and breakfast , then lunch at the brides parents. Then a big sleep......... Congratulations to them both!

Sorry there have been no sewing pics lately blogger friends but now this very busy time in my life is over I cannot wait to get to my sewing and some of the new projects I collected while I was away.

Of course there is always time to check out the patchwork shops in between the planning when you are visiting other towns.........

Please excuse the order of the photos I am not that skilled to move them yet ....hmmm.......

Perfect location on the river at" Grunskies" seafood restaurant,Bundaberg.

A beautiful lunch with my beautiful husband, our son, Josh and his fiancé,Emma and her parents Michael and Gail

What a wonderful day we had for our 30th Anniversary. It began with morning tea with our son Josh and his new family ( only 5 days 'til the wedding). Then we all went onto a lovely seafood lunch on the river and then in the evening Bernie and I went to the White China Restaurant and had chilli mud crab. What a lovely surprise for me ........ Thank you to my wonderful husband for 30 happy and loving years.

and a very special surprise....

Happy New Year

2011-12-30T02:07:00.000-08:00

This year is going to be so different. I have posted a pic of me and hubby on my new blog page. But the most special thing is I will have a daughter from the 7th January2012. This is when our only son( only child) , Josh and Emma get married in Bundaberg so all systems go until then. I will post some photos after the wedding. Soooo. exciting. I have had a wonderful Xmas visiting family in North Queensland. I have been hotter but I don't know when. Ahaaaa! There is nothing like a tropical Christmas. Even though in my younger years I spent many years in North Queensland, for the last 23 years I have been living in the dry heat in Goondiwindi and I still can't get used to the tropical heat when we visit. I hope everyone has a Happy and prosperous New Year and I look forward to some sewing when all wedding plans are over.

Secret Santa Thank You

2011-12-25T02:05:00.000-08:00

A beautiful table runner from my secret santa. Thank you so much to Cat from Catalina Cottage in New Zealand. I hope everyone is having lots of fun opening their secret santa presents today. This was my first time in the swap and I have enjoyed it a lot so Satu I hope you enjoy yours also.

Christmas Lights

2011-12-20T13:23:00.000-08:00

Our Friends Lights display

While hubby was on a work trip he came across a Christmas shop with this sign .
They are soooo... right! LOL

Of course he bought me something ! I am so lucky !

I just love Christmas lights . After a huge shopping day in the big Toowoomba town we decided Chinese and a drive around to see the Christmas lights was in order.

Our very good friends spread Christmas cheer in their street. He becomes a Santa's helper and the lady and man across the street become elf and Mrs Clause. They have a lovely display and provide lots of treats for the children who get to walk around in the mini Christmas land.

Looks like not much sewing until New year for me between Christmas and our sons wedding.

I cant wait until we all open our SSCS parcels and see what everyone has been busy making. How exciting. Thank you Chooky elf for organizing it .

I hope you are all enjoying the Christmas Spirit. Remember the reason for the season. However you spend your Christmas I hope you are able to share it with family and friends and have a wonderful time. Merry Christmas to everyone .

Christmas Cooking and a Stitch or Two

2011-12-18T05:58:00.000-08:00

A few more little decorations finished- Annie Downs Pattern

Mini Brownie Cup Cakes- What a yummy recipe from this copy of Family Circle

It's been a while since I have blogged Silly Season is upon us well me anyway.

What a busy week, Engagement parties, Christmas parties and pizza nights. We have had a full on week of family parties. It is always good catching up with everyone. Our beautiful son was home .... Happy me..... I am amazed and pleased that we have a very large and close extended family and many of them make an extra effort to get together for celebrations. This time it was my nieces Engagement .

Even if that means that every inch of floor space in my Mum's (74 yrs) house is covered with 18 people sleeping over. Ages ranging from 9 weeks to well you know my age . hmmmm.... What fun we all had reminiscing sharing a few drinks and lots of yummy food that mums always prepare. I think my mum is a super mum in the food department she made hot finger food for 130 people for the party. Everybody loved it.

We finished our weekend of celebration with a pizza night with the 25 of us who were still here. All the toppings are out and every body makes their own and then cooks them in our wood fired oven. A great way to feed lots of people ,the young ones love it.

A Lovely Gift from Across the Ditch

2011-11-29T10:37:00.000-08:00

I was so excited when my very first Secret Santa Swap arrived from the lovely talented Cat in New Zealand. Thank you Cat.

Even more excited when I opened it and saw the beautiful knitted decorations - an entire set! Oh Cat thank you so much they are truly lovely. Knitting really isn't my thing so I will treasure them as a part of my Christmas decoration collection!

The Sleigh is Packed

2011-11-27T12:04:00.000-08:00

It's amazing to think that all those hand made gifts are flying around the world or travelling overland to reach their destinations where SSCS swappers are excitedly and anxiously waiting for the mail man to arrive. This is my first swap so I am so excited.

I hope you are all enjoying the pre Christmas cheer. We went to our first Christmas party on the weekend at Jupiter's on the Gold Coast. It also included a show at Draculas. It was all a lot of fun. Of course I also just had to do some shopping......... Now I just need a sleep.

I hope any of you who are around Moree and district are not getting your toes too wet with this flood.......

A little Aussie Christmas

2011-11-24T01:23:00.000-08:00

Some XXXX for Queensland

I was looking for a little something Australian for a Christmas swag so I decided to use some drawings from Margaret Rolf and Deborah Brearley ( I have had these books for Years) and make my own. A little xxxx , for Queenslanders, of course. The wall hanging is from" I luv Country"by Tracey North, with a slight change to the wording.

I love Christmas and spending time with family although sadly, this year will be our first
without our son as he will spend it with his wife to be's family. Ho hmmm.
But that's ok because next year we will have a daughter.

Love Those Shoes

2011-11-23T14:15:00.000-08:00

It getting so close to Christmas the Secret Santa's are done. It is getting so close to the holidays only a few reports to go, the seniors have graduated. Yeah! I was flicking through some photos to find some pics to put on my blog to make it feel a little like Christmas and look what I found - My favourite Christmas shoes!

Nundle 2011

2011-11-16T13:03:00.000-08:00

Beautiful Roses

Rose covered wool press

In the middle of the end of year turmoil some ladies from my quilt group, myself included took a trip to Nundle ( small town in NSW , near Tamworth,for those who dont know) to sew with the lovely Kerry at Cottage on the Hill.

Of course there are all the treats that go with the word "Nundle" ; patchwork at Kerry's, stitching, friends, dinner at the pub , wine and cheese , roses and a visit to the Woollen Mill (which was still open at 7.20pm. ) What a lovely weekend we had.

The trip home was a nightmare , it was truly the biggest storm I have ever been in, I thought I was a "storm chaser". The lightning and the rain were the most intense I have ever seen but we were on the edge and missed the hail .......in my new car ..eek!..................what a relief when we were free of it.

Our creations - not quite finished

Weekend of Sewing

2011-11-06T13:39:00.000-08:00

I feel like i have been reading everyone's blogs and haven't said anything myself for a while. I had the best weekend we were home for once so I spent a lot of time sewing......finishing SS sewing...Sh...... . I have decided this year to try to make as many Christmas gifts as possible so I have made a start with bags , table runners and cushions . Ok I did say made a start.......... This morning Monday ... before work I took one look in my sewing room which I am very lucky to have.......and thought I wonder if very one who sews makes as much mess as I do when I just sew all weekend????? I spent Thursday night tidying it up making sure everything was in place for my weekend of sewing......................

I just love bird houses

A Sally Giblin pattern- cushion

Does anyone else make such a mess????Oh creative space sorry!!!

Act your Age

2011-10-25T15:09:00.000-07:00

I thought this might give everybody a laugh. especially you Chooky! Hope it is not too big to download. I am the green one. Transform yourself....... back to some sewing next week. Thanks to my friend in Blue, Kathy for making the movie and our friend Steve for videoing it . The expressive arts week at our school is an amazing cultural event. All staff dress up on day one and every year the competition is bigger and better. The week is full of visiting artists, arts craft , music , dance , debating, burning poetry nights, stunt bikes and jugglers . Big Fun and exhausting. School is back to reality this week .
Our staff room decided to make a movie because we decided it would be too embarrassing for us to "park" ( at the end of the movie ) on stage in front of 400 teens. We may never get up .....

Transform Me

2011-10-15T00:10:00.000-07:00

In my life as a teacher one of the craziest weeks of the year is expressive arts week. this is a week full of fun, art and culture. Each year we have a theme and for one week every lunch hour and break is full of fun activities. I think the girls in Art have topped it this year with the timetable of events. The week begins with all the teachers dressing up. Because I am a member of the art staff room we get pretty heavily involved. We have spent many hours after work this week preparing........ Here is a snippet , more to follow after opening day Tuesday. I am sure I am too old for this ..LOL....

My Blog Story

2011-10-14T07:23:00.000-07:00

I was a blog stalker, Kerry at Nundle and Designers like Rosalie and Leanne B, mostly I checked out Kerry's favourites and loved reading about what the ladies who love patchwork and stitching were up to. I have been to GDITC for four years but this year was different..........

We were all at dinner and there was a real buzz. Then someone suggested all the bloggers identify themselves. It was exciting actually seeing the writers of the blogs I had been reading. The the amazing Chooky visited our table and convinced me to sign up. Email me as as soon as you get home and I will help you get started she said... well here I am and loving it.

Oh, she also said you will have to think up a name so on our 5 hour drive home through flooded creeks and over very wet gravel roads and some slipping and sliding through alternate routes the name Bird on the Border was born............ I live on the Qld NSW border and I do love to see all the birds in my garden in the early morning.

The ones making the most noise at the time was a pair of beautiful Kookaburras. You could set your clock by them morning and evening ...so the picture. Goondiwindi means resting place of the birds so Bird on the Border was born.

Family Weekend

2011-10-06T04:04:00.000-07:00

Bargara Beach

What a nice weekend we have just had. Visiting our son and his fiance. Fish and chips on the beach with the complimentary seagulls, a little shopping ,a little dining. Sorry about the picture quality they were from my phone. It's cold and raining here today. I cant believe it is October feels like winter.

Bargara Beach

Everything looks so green after the rain.

Thelma's Day Out Bag

2011-09-26T17:29:00.000-07:00

So happy.... today finished a nice bag by Janelle Wind. I am planning on making a lot of my Christmas gifts this year. Perhaps a niece or a friend may get this one???

Berries anyone.....
There is a story to these wild rampant berries. My good friend Jill gave me a few runners a couple of years ago before she left to live in Darwin.

These magical berries seem to grow on some water and little love almost anywhere. I moved a couple into what was my kitchen garden and now there is just a strawberry garden. The one in the tub did the same when I planted them there but they died out and are now regenerating from a couple of plants...I am no gardener what grows in my garden grows just because it does and these amazing berries just do...

Owls and Flowers

2011-09-21T02:12:00.000-07:00

Today I finished the little project from "Stitchers Dream Day Out" by Julie Lovell . A little owl project bag. Cute... I thought I would photograph it with some gerberas I bought home from the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba. I also brought home from Toowoomba a ladder to hang my quilts on. I was so excited I have wanted one for ages. Lucky for specials at carnival time although it was a squeeze in the corolla.... Might add, I think it might have to move out of my sewing room into the lounge if I want to get into my fabric stash.

What's around Me

2011-09-18T16:36:00.000-07:00

I had time to have a little play with setting up my blog. I drew some inspiration from all of the green wheat fields around me at the moment. So lets hope we get a little rain soon to keep them that way .

Carnival of Flowers

We just had a lovely weekend at The Toowoomba Carnival of flowers. I have been wanting to go for years and I was not disappointed. I thought I would share some lovely pics with you. Girls if anyone out there can help me .. I was playing with the design of my blog and now the last post doesn't come up first what have I done????

Dream Day Out

2011-09-13T15:03:00.000-07:00

What a great weekend I have just had. My friend Gail and I travelled to Toowomba to "Stitchers Dream Day Out" run by Quilters Angel at Highfields. The desigers were Natalie Ross, Libby Richardson and Julie Lovell. All the designers provided beautiful projects. I was given on of Julie Lovell's owl project bags. So cute! I love owls. Of course ladies can dress up but we made the Hootie Owl bags designed by Natalie.
It was soooo.. windy there and quite cold but warm inside with all the ladies.

Dress up contribution - love these colours

I was able to share the quilt I made with the designer

Designer projects for the day

Yeh! school holidays start Friday I might get some projects finished . I aim to garden and sew and go see our lovely son and daughter in law to be for a few days.

Week-end in for McIntyre Quilters

2011-08-28T13:34:00.000-07:00

This weekend my quilt group had a weekend in. We were working on a block quilt by Lessa Siegele called "Little Boxes". I have decided to use a kids print I picked up in Tassie last year. Cute I think ! Yes, something from the stash....

Pretty strips

Prepared to sew

A finished one by one of our group

Hubby was off to Hong Kong on Sunday so I thought I had better stay home Saturday. I did't get as far as the other girls ,however, it will happen???

Present for a Friend

2011-08-18T14:47:00.000-07:00

Well wasn't it lovely to actually sit and sew. Felt a bit jealous of Shiralee Stiches new sewing room . It was on my mind as to what I could do to revamp mine. I used bits and pieces from my stash to make the "Vintage Sewing Cushion "(by Debbie Magee) for my friend Gail's birthday. We had a lovely stitching night last week 2 birthdays so we didn't get as much sewing done as we should have. I am off to school camp for a week, are you not jealous???.It is in a beautiful location though in the hinterland and ranges. Sorry the photo is not that great but it is from my phone. forgot the camera....

A Lazy Sunday Afternoon

2011-08-08T05:03:00.000-07:00

Our first try at a deep pan pizza .. Yumm.

Barramundi and prawn pizza with lime

Sunday we decided to invite a few friends over and fire up the pizza oven to celebrate 12 months since we built this outdoor space...well lunch turned into dinner.. you know how it is! I think I showed you the space on one of my first blogs. It was a beautiful sunny winter's day,perfect to stand around the wood fired pizza oven with a wine or two and hubby's best deep pan and seafood pizza.

Stef's beautiful cheese platter - the honey on the Camembert was a nice change

Crazy Curry Cook Up

2011-08-08T04:41:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday the girls from my staff room at work came over for a curry night. Mmmmm Mmmm !!!

The Indian Table ....

Thai Chicken , Lamb Korma, Rogan Josh , Prawn Curry and I made an Indonesian Baked custard for entree. This lovely dish came from a visit to the "Spirit House Restaurant" and cooking school, a beautiful Thai restaurant at Yandina on the Sunshine Coast in Qld. The baked custard has chicken, shallots, bean paste, Chinese wine and soy and then the egg, soy sauce and chicken stock mix is poured over the top and baked as you would a baked custard, truly unusual but delicious.

Stacey's at the Gap

2011-08-08T03:53:00.000-07:00

Me (left) with my quilting buddy and good friend, Gail

Hi all my blogger friends, sorry I have been out for an extended time but I am back. We had the most fantastic trip to the Northern Territory and back through the Dinosaur trail via Richmond, Winton then to our son in Alpha and then home . A lot of kilometers but such fun. Remember all of those little squares cut out on the accuquilt machine. After a weekend retreat at Stacey's at the Gap near Warwick it has grown to a quilt. What a lovely place to go. At the top of the great Divide just east of Warwick. We enjoyed sewing all weekend from 7.00 am until 10.pm and they provided the most beautiful food for us, good home cooked meals, a big fire to keep us warm and very friendly hospitality.

All busy finishing UFO's

Another finished quilt top from my sewing table. Sad you cant see the lovely little birds in each circle.

2011-07-02T00:12:00.001-07:00

Hope you all had a good time at the craft fair.

Our adventure begins, no more sewing for a few weeks.

No More Cutting

2011-06-22T03:38:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday we had Cathy from KoolKat Quilting in Toowoomba visit

our patchwork group. She showed us a cutting machine. How Kool it

was lots of squares and shapes in just minutes. Just bliss for those of us

who hate cutting. We were sewing a quilt top in 20 minutes or so. Sorry

about the photos I am have trouble loading them. Gr.....

Sewn in so little time

So many squares in a few minutes

The bird has finished the books and ready for an adventure.

Too many books not enough sewing

What's On My Sewing Table

2011-05-30T03:22:00.000-07:00

That is the question a friendly blogger asked me the other day. Whats on your sewing table ? Well other than a TAFE CERT 4 that is taking it over a bit at the moment. I have been working on a seasonal quilt, sort of "yule" christmas. but could be used at any time of the year. It is called "Holiday Chorus". My local quilt shop has it as a block of the month. I just love the colours and the litle birds. The next step is put it together. I also have a "Leannes House " on the go. The stitching is all done , now just a quiet weekend to put it together.

Big News my son and his fiance have bought a house in Bundaberg, far from home but that is life- looks like holidays at Bagara Beach! A good thing is Bundaberg has a great patchwork shop- lots of yummies there!

Holiday Chorus

Leannes House -nearly there

Mothers Day Wishes

2011-05-07T20:49:00.000-07:00

Happy Mothers Day to all the mums out there in blogland. I hope you are able to spend it with your children. I am not this year so it is a liitle sad but technology and phones are amazing things. "Grease" the musical that I have ben working on is over Yeah! It was a big success and the costumes have now moved from my laundry floor to the clothes line and into packing bags Yeah! again . Now some time to sew for me. I received some lovely inspiration to sew from my darling hubby for mothers day. I have included a pic.

some time to sew Dudley by " Melly and Me" so cute

Cup of Pins anyone?

I thought I would show you this cute little tea cup pin cushion I found when travelling in Tasmania. I am not sure if it is a pattern or someone clever just made it. It reminds me of my grandama with her willow dinner service.

Easter Engagement

2011-04-25T02:30:00.000-07:00

Hello Friends,

I am sorry I have not blogged or posted nice sewing pics for a bit. I had a lovely excuse, we had our son's engagement party at home. We catered and looked after 100 friends and family and new family over the whole Easter break . It was wonderfully exhausting, there is something special when your son finds a lovely girl with a lovely family. I hope to return to my sewing room as soon as my house has returned to some form of normality. A snippet of our fun.

"Legs 11"

Will it be a tent?

"Preparing the Morris family Pitch-lots of cricket"

"Something to warm the Heart"

"The Cooks- pork, lamb and roast beef on the spit-the weather was glorious"

"The cake"

"The happy couple"

My Place on the Border

2011-03-31T04:57:00.000-07:00

I thought I might let my blog friends see a liitle of my garden at home on the border.

My favourite garden photo - love the colour

A nice spot to sit and stitch

A home for all those indoor pots that become outdoor pots and just seem to love it

My first pictures

2011-03-31T04:23:00.000-07:00

Here goes the first photo download!

"Blocked in " this is the first of many blocks , 9 more to go for a queen size quilt. I love shabby chic, but look at my friend Margie's, how dramatic are the colours! Our local quilt group is called McIntyre Quilters and we are always looking something to do. We meet on th 4th Sunday of the month. I am not making any promises for a finished date but the next step is to cut it in half and rejoin it with another 1/2 block. Could be interesting?

My friend Margie's creative colour

Thanks for the Support

2011-03-21T04:43:00.000-07:00

Thanks to all of you for responding to my blog. Especially to those of you I met at Girls day in The Country at Nundle. It was a terrific weekend , What an inspiring organiser in Kerry , and the lovely and talented designer, Annie with beautiful projects and so many talented, friendly ladies to share the day with. On our way home we chatted with a couple over a Steak burger at Barraba we chatted about the day, they couldn't believe we travel so far to go sewing! But it more than just sewing isn't it girls. Its friendship, inspiration and awe in a world where we gain creative energy to go forward and be confident to........ sew? and so much more like blog!!!

This is my first try at a Blog, thanks to Chookyblue for making me have a go. I would like to have a really nice looking page like some I've seen..... but I will have to work on it.
