I have also decided to wash my batting and wondered the best way to do it without the washing machine pulling it to shreds, I put a 2 metre piece in a pillow case and washed it. Came out perfect. Now to see if I still have an allergic reaction to the fluff!!!!

Busy with a baby quilt for a family member and cannot show it until completed.

Fusion Quilt and and !!!

Still working on this quilt and have to still do the blanket st around 25 blocks and Also finished the work around the 50 front facing blocks. So not far to go now.

 Found this lovely applique photo on the internet, sigh I am not good at drawing such lovely things. So thanks to all the designers who allow us to use these wonderful patterns. Am going to use this for a lovely baby quilt that I am making for a family member. Will have to use soft colors which is a bit difficult for me as I love working with bright very bright colors.

This is how far I have got with my fairy house and will be working again on it soon. Just need to get some red paint for the door and roof. hehehehe I just love RED!!!!

Great visit with grandkids

We went for a week visit to daughter and family. Its always special when you get to see them yearly. 

We were treated to Kirkwood in Port Elizabeth Game feast.

Finished!!!!!

My row by  row is done! After  many  years of hanging around in my sewing room. Doing the happy dance! !!!;

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

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.
