My way of coping!

I took my Master 16 off to Vic Roads this morning for his Learners Test.

He passed!  I am so not ready for that so my way of coping .... retail therapy.

So on the way home I stopped in at one of my Local Quilt Shops and sitting on the counter was 

Annie's "Natures Journey" pattern.

They also had some fabrics kitted up for a starter pack.

Looks like I am ready to start.

I'm interested to see how you break this one up for us Chooky.

In the meantime I need to work out what to turn this into :o)

I'm looking forward to stitching this one with everyone and seeing everyone's fabric selections.

September done

I have finished my Needle book and it matches the Pin cushion I made earlier.

Being I made two pincushions I am also hoping to make another Needle book.

Looking forward to seeing if we are all sewing again next year.

True Friends Tote

I was stitching my panel on and off during the Australian Open

and now have my completed bag. It comes together very quickly.

The Back

and a pic showing the lining.

This was a fun bag to make. It will now go into my gift basket

waiting for the perfect recipient :)

Have a great day,

Whilst waiting for the mail man.

I am pleased to be joining in with everyone again this year

and am excited to be working on smaller projects.

 

I am currently waiting for my TTS and Red Home books to

arrive in the mail so I decided to get started on my

Shoe Bag.

 

 

Looks like Fiona and I think alike as I also put buttons on my shoes :o)

 

Have a great day,

Hugs, Sharon

A finish for me

I am pleased to say that after a long weekend in front of my machine,

with the help of a glass of wine or two and

some time in front of the TV today finishing off the binding, 

my version of this one is now finished.

And already up on the wall!

Thank you Chookyblue. I don't think I would have made this one

if it wasn't for this wonderful group of inspiring ladies.

I now have an empty "Project Box" so I am looking forward to 

see what is next :o)

Have a great week,

hugs, Sharon

On a cold Weekend

I managed to sit in front of the fire and do a little more sewing

and all three together

That gets me to July ... 

Enjoy your day,

Sewing and Best Friends = May blocks

I have completed my May blocks.

Sewing Block

Best Friends

and together

and the strip for this month was sewn to the quilt last month.

Ladies, can you kindly mark me off for May :o)

It is a real buzz seeing every ones quilts come together.

more progress.....

I have finished off the next two blocks.



Then added them to the rest and now it looks like this :o)

That makes me up to date for April.

Just as well because I think the sewing block alone will take me all month!

I enjoy watching every ones progress.

Chocolate ....

Chocolate ... Chocolate ... Chocolate

I keep getting a huge craving for chocolate so in an attempt to settle that craving with out the calories I made this instead.

It has worked in the short term but who knows what tomorrow will bring.

also, I am hosting a Rainbow Charm Square swap for Australia and New Zealand.

If you think you might be interested 

Read this POST HEREand then join the FLICKR GROUP HERE to join in all the fun :o)Numbers are limited. I am really enjoying every ones progress on their projects. Happy stitching,Sharon

I've made the first cuts

Whilst I am patiently awaiting the arrival of my "Strawberry Fields" Bundle and in an attempt to keep myself busy I started ...... copying the patterns (for ease of tracing) and cutting my cream and beige's.

All cut and labeled ready to go as soon as postie brings me that fabric.

Come on customs... release it!  :o)

How is every one else going?

Fabric Selection - SKoW

I'm Getting ready!

I

I am looking forward to starting this one but first things first ....... picking the fabrics.

This was EASY, I knew a fabric that I wanted to use, just had to find it.

 I am now awaiting the arrival of .......

They will be my basic pallet and when they arrive I will do some more shopping for some co-ordinating colored prints to mix it up a little. My book arrived this morning and I have pulled some basics for the backgrounds, so this is what I have so far.

Just need to get over my fear of Needle Turn Applique and I'm ready to go :o)

Happy stitching, Sharon

P.S.  Any tips on the Needle Turn Applique would be greatly appreciated :o)

I am trying to convince myself to try something different and stay away from the Blanket stitch :o)
