Stitching Soiree

Yesterday I spent a great day sewing.  Lisa from Fig 'n' berry and Leanne from Petals & Patches organised another great day for us.  Karen Martin from Mrs Martins quilt shop was there to tempt us with many goodies to buy ( she may or may not have tempted me lol).

First up we were greeted with this gorgeous bag sitting at out tables waiting for us.

Our morning tea.

Wasn't long before I dived into my goodie bag.  Have a look at the fantastic kits and patterns we got.

Close up of Lisa's patterns.  I started the Daisy Chain needle case.

Leanne's patterns

I did manage to get some sewing done before we heard the call lunch is ready....

Then dessert.

Barb won the first raffle of the day.

I won a voucher which was spent on the day.

Another fantastic day looking forward to October to the next one.

Friday night sewing

Not a lot to show.

I made and sewed on binding to a friends quilt ready for pick up Sunday.

Prepared Instalments five,six,seven, and eight of Rosalie Quinlan Best Friends Forever bom.   This is the year to get it finished.  I also worked on installment four.

Then I got my things ready for a sewing day in Monbulk, will be back tomorrow with lots of pictures of the day.

Blankets blankets blankets

I haven't been doing much sewing over the last month because I have been finishing these blankets.  The first one was an order  so I need to get it finished quickly.

The second one was made for one of Angus's friends.

Lastly this one was made for Angus for when he is in the car for winter.

Tonight's project is to cut up some fabric for charity quilts for  Karen  Martin and do the ironing.

Fresh Flowers

One of my goals this year was to teach myself to put zips into things. Here is my first cushion, I have another one stitched ready to make up this week.

The pattern was from a Gail Pan's sewing day (she made hers into a mini quilt) but I decided in my wisdom to make cushion.

I can see I have a new addictions happening.

Slowly does it

Not a lot of crafting lately.

Mum knitted these squares and I sewed them together for Angus for Cubs/Scouts camp blanket.

Some Hand sewing 

First Zipper pouch will be making a lot more of these.

Friday night with friends

I was determined to finish the binding on this quilt, This quilt was sitting in the Ufo pile waiting to be quilted for some time.

The fabric is called Strawberry fields, so when I got it quilted she quilted it with strawberries on it.

Finishes for Feburary

I have had a few finishes this month but been slack blogging them.

Angus's I spy quilt quilted and binding on.

Crochet blanket finished

Scarf's ready for Angus's school stall.
