Pretty Project and Animals

 I’m working on a new project….can you guess what it is.? I’m using fat quarters and left over pieces, mostly Kaffe with a few extra pieces.

Hopefully you’ll see it finished tomorrow

Now for a couple of little cuties,. Minnie has become a very cheeky and loved  member of the family and her latest toy is a pressure pack lid or is it really a muzzle???

Then a couple of weeks ago this little fellow was discovered in a hollow piece of log I had jammed -- in the fork of a tree just near my clothes line. This is a little possum. Sadly he / she never stayed though. It just spent the day. I think something may have chased it in there and then it couldn’t make it home before daylight. He was so close which you generally never see in the day time. They are nocturnal animals. So super cute unless of course they get into your roof. 

Recycle Reuse

 I don’t know but I haven’t had much sewing mojo lately. After everything that’s been happening lately I’m glad to be home and getting into my sewing room this weekend.  First I cut down two duvet covers from double to single otherwise they had to find another home. I bought them for the caravan but then we had to change vans and so I have them in the house now and they had hardly been used. 

The measuring and cutting. Oh and the pumpkin was my weight to hold it still. 

Now it’s done and the beds have a new look.

Kade’s Quilt Delivered.

My nephew Kade turned 18 last month. I finally finished his birthday gift. He wanted a fish quilt. I started it at Baradine. I had a few troubles because I was determined to use a lot of my stash. Finally it came together.

Welcomed Visitors

 What a lovely couple of days we’ve had. Janis and Mick visited for 2 nights. Janis showed me how to make a butterfly. We fired up the pizza oven and Friday night Bernie cooked up some lamb shanks and my quilting buddy Gail also joined us. So nice to have friends pop in . We went for a drive around and checked out Goondiwindi’s sculpture trail .

My Apologies

 I have to apologise to my dear friend Janice because I left her butterfly off my post about Scrub Stitch’n goodies . How could I forget this little sweet thing . It had already found a home on my long arm set up . So cute. 

Jo’s Plastic Pouch

 Those at scrub Stitch’n will remember I made a video of Jo’s way of making a clear zipper pouch. I have done my best on the video but it’s 24 mins and I can’t save it anywhere. Anyone who knows how other than load it on YouTube which I can’t, let me know .

Scrub Stitch’n Goodies and quilts

I stole this picture of our cups over the years. Each year on retreat we get a mug to use for the weekend. 

The girls from Utah gave this to me .. love it. I think Phyllis did the sewing ?

This is a lovely needle case . It was my swap gift from Lianne.

Thank you .

These goodies were in our retreat bag along with fabric for a book bag which I haven’t completed yet. But I will. (not the flowers)
