Busy as always!!!



Am still working on my fushion quilt and it is taking a lots of time getting the blanket stitching done but I just work at it when I have a bit of spare time. Also my Nina sewing machine had to go to in for a service, but its due anyway. I don't use her as often as I should because I prefer hand stitching but she does understand me very well and I do take care of her very well. hehehehe I tend to grow attached to some of my special items.





I have pulled out an old ufo and am really motivated to get this row by row wallhanging completed.

The red coat Neil is wearing is nearly 40yrs old. I bought it for my son who turned 40 the other day. it sure has kept its lovely red color also the fabric has lasted this long.

Okay just in case you are wondering what this is!!! hehehehe
its my fairy house I am building. Just having fun and want to use it in my garden

Friday Night Sew In (F.N.S.I.)



I have decided to join in this fun group and am sure its lots of fun stitching around the world.


I am still busy with my "Fushion Quilt" Takes a bit of time to get all the blanket stitching done, but am trying to get around 10 blocks a week finished. There are 100 blocks to be completed before I join them all together.  I need to get some more stitching done and with the inspiration of this group its is possible.

A Scrap Challenge Quilt

 This is my scrap challenge quilt and was said not to buy any new fabric to make the top.

Well this is the end product and I am very impressed with this scrap way of doing a quilt. I have always had themes and also colors to use, so its a first for me doing it this way. Now just to sandwich and quilt it.





Wow days are running away!
