On a roll!!!!!

Finished these two single quilt tops for our spare bunk beds!
The old ones are so faded. 
Just love Da Gama Textile fabrics and the colors are so vibrant.
The cotton quality is very good and strong.

Interesting start to the year!

Its a lovely day here all nice and cool. I am working here at my daughters office. She needed some holiday and as its not busy at this time of the year, l don't have to worry about doing her work, just have to answer the phone and handle inquiries.

Its a bit boring as I am itching to get Matthews quilt done as there is not much more quilting to do.
Also have to get back into a nice routine with my stitching that I have not been able to do with the move and also fixing up the house. I still have a few projects to do but will start that when the finances allow me to get the materials I need.

I love to do cross stitching early morning when my eyes are fresh and need to keep quiet while hubby still sleeps late. Then move onto my morning of tidying the house and then settle in to do some quilting while listening to a nice audio book. I have just recently discovered audio books and just love it. I can stitch and listen to nice stories. Quilting and books are my favourite hobbies. So l get to listen to some oldies like the Jane Austin books and then the quilting stories are a favourite too. Then early evening l love to crochet or knit so that way I get to do lots of different projects.
Sometimes I work outside too as we have lovely patio now and  one does work better in daylight.

I started a embroidery group last year and will start next month. I hope to share lots of my embroidery knowledge to them, I am not a teacher but luckily for me they understand it We have lots of fun because I am left handed and when demonstrating its always my way and then them helping me to show them how to their way. lots and lots of laughs along the way. Which is great as its the way l want the group to be, not just sitting around and chatting about every day things.

Well l don't have any pics today as I am typing this on office computer.
Take care and happy stitching!
