Rusty my big beautiful boy

Rusty is a cute large cat when he wants to be.
This photo was taken by DH one night last week in May when I had all the washing handing inside as the weather over the last few weeks has looked like rain and now this week we did get rain and boy did it rain.
Anyway back to my big boy Rusty the photo was taken because he does not jump he is to big and heavy but he found his way up on top of my bear bookcase. Rusty jumped from the cat scatching post over to the bookcase and this is the cat that can not climb onto the top of my African Violet stand or the cat cage outside to get Darcy

Last of the Wip's for now!!!!!

Last of all!!!!

Here is the first block of the BOM A Kitten Tale by Lynette Anderson that I have started this month. As you can see its a WIP at the moment. Hope to do more this week.
The beautiful fabric in the BOM is called Beach House by Blackbird Designs (Moda) The photo of the upside down cat is Rusty one of my furry boys who loves his new cat scratching post with the cave a the bottom that he loves to hide in.

More WIPs

More of my WIP's.

The Quilt was started at the Retreat 2009 and was finished at this years retreat last March. The pattern is called Boxy Stars by Bonnie Hunter. The quilt only has the blinding to be stitched down and a label added.

The Bag called Roomy Craft Tote

designed by Leanne Valiukas from Australian Patchwork and Stitching mag Vol 8 No 11 is made with the QAYG method and has only the bottom to be attached. I started the bag before this years retreat as it was the workshop for the retreat.
I changed the bag a little by adding a piece of fabric to the small front pocket instead of the applique cotton reels.

WIP's

Here are the finished panels for the bag that was in a earlier post. Just have to fine the time to make the bag and all the other UFO's!!!!!

Oh me!!!!!

Sunrise today

This is what I woke up to this morning when I looked out my side windows.
Then I had to get my camera and take a photo at the front door.
It's just what Australia is make of beautiful sunrises.

My Dilly Bag finished

My Dilly bag is now finished one less UFO sitting around my sewing room. Now onto the next bag!!!!!!

I took the bag to patchwork today and all the ladies love the it and wanted to make it now.

Look what happens when they see the finished item.

As you can see from the last post about this project I have added lace to the front panel. I was not happy with any of the laces I had so out came the little dye bottles and the reverse stitching tool to add the lace and I am now happy.
