Merry Xmas to Me

I was lucky to get an Amazon gift voucher for Christmas from my sister last year. 

I finally spent it. 

Merry Xmas to me!!!

Progress

I've been making progress on the next stitchery block. I think that it is the largest block to date. 

I've also been busy making items to sell at our trading table for my local quilt exhibition. Of course my contribution is some hexagons

Stitching - part 2

I have managed to complete two blocks of my Scandinavian Rose BOM. I'm still contemplating adding the satin stitch to the blocks. I just remain undecided.

Block one

Block two

Still here

My friends are horrified that I haven't been adding to my blog. I don't know where May has gone. For me it went a bit like this...

My little man was diagnosed with Autism. We are now waiting for him to be assessed.

I came down with tonsillitis. Yuck!!! Not a good week for me. (Or two)

My highlight was my first weekend away by myself since my Son was 18 months.

I've been making items for one of my quilting groups as we are having a trading table at our local exhibition in August.

I have been working hard. It's been six months since I returned to work and I'm still adjusting to my different hats and have found I've not had the energy to sew much at all.

But in all of this here are some of my achievements

Speak soon

Basting

1/2" hexagons. 1.5" squares. My idea of a fun Saturday night

Stitching

I have not been around much but I have been taking time out of my of my hectic schedule to get some stitching time.

I feel very privileged that in Australia we have some very talented designers. I joined up to do a BOM called Scandinavian Rose by Rosalie Quinlan. I am really enjoying the stitching.

Hexagoning

So I've been busy or should I say putting my feet up with some more hexagons.

So it's now time to add to the quilt.

And I'm a proud Mummy this week. My big girl received her first Student of the Week Award. Not bad for her first full week at school. Just had to brag..
