Craft Show.

Looking forward to the craft show at Rosehill this coming week as I would like to get some embroidery threads from Royal as the company has all these gorgeous colours. My 350e class is doing next month a beautiful Hatched in African Peacock as a class project and I need more colours. We are putting the peacock on black homespun. I would also like to get some felting wool to do some Atc's for the next cancer swap that Cecile will be hosting later this year.

My Other Hobby..

I love to grow plants and my favourite plant is African Violets which I have been growing for over 18 years. I grow them under lights and have had in the past three light stands which my Darcy is sitting on. My DH is a Electrician and that helps as he can wire up the wooden stands for me. Here are some photo's of my flowering plants and my little helper Darcy again.

Landscape Quilt.

I made this quilt in class September 2006 and now it hangs in my sewing room.The quilt is only a small wallhanging 19 1/2" x 14 1/2" and was taken from a photo that I took about 25 years ago when my DH and I were on holidays somewhere in Aussie.

More Playing with 350E

The last few days I have been having fun playing with my embroidery machine and made these lovely ATC's.

Will be keeping these ones.

Embroidery Machine Fun!!!!!!!!!!

My new toy the Janome 350E has been getting at workout the last few months. The best thing is learning how to get the embroidery patterns in the right place. The photo is of a teddy bear that I am making in the 350e class at Hobbysew. All the bits are now embroided, now comes the fun part putting the bear together but that's OK I have made furry bears before.

Memory Quilt is now Finished!!!!!!!!

Finally have had time to update my blog.

Mum and Dad's Memory Quilt is finally finished on the 18th July. Mum so loves the quilt and has showed the quilt off to all her friends. All her lady friends wanted to know how I did the photo's and put them in the quilt, that was the easy part.Now it is Mum who has to find the right spot to hang her quilt. Darcy the helper loves to help me pin Mum's quilt.

Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary

Mum & Mandy.

Jeanette & George my DH’s Mum & Dad will be married for fifty years on 29th May and family and friends surprised them with a party yesterday Sat 26th May.
Mum & Dad were so surprised as they had though that we had forgotten.
The party was wonderful and Mum & Dad were so happy to see friends, some old friends, family and long lost family came.
Cathy my SIL had the party at her place in the garage as seen in the photo. The memory quilt that I started was given as a quilt top as time ran out and I had been sick with the flu. Mum loved the top and handed it back and is waiting for it to be quilted by next week please. Ha Ha !!!!!!!!!!! The weather got colder as the night went on but not as cold as May can be so we were luckly on the night. There were two outdoor heaters that keep us warm.
Photo’s taken on the night.
