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..

Hexagon Progress

I just realized from a fellow blogger that I haven't shown off my progress on my hexagon diamond quilt for a while.

Well I now have nearly one side and the beginning of a corner.

Oh and my Friday night helper blends in too. Just had to be in the photo.

My Friday Finish

Another big week here at my house. We had some new beginnings this week as well. Firstly, my big girl started her first day of Primary School. She has been so excited to start and was exhausted by the end of the week. 

Master muscles started Child Care this week. We wanted him to have more social contact with children his own age to encourage his speech and social development. Fingers crossed. First day went ok. I picked him up smiling and happy to be going home after leaving him in tears.

So being the first Friday of the month, I joined Cheryll once again. I was exhausted but I did achieve my goal for the evening. I completed my next hexagon diamond. I don't know how many I have finished, I probably should count them again. 

I started the evening with this...

And ended with this....

And my special helper along the way. He decided that he needed a warm lap. 

Friday Night Sew In with Friends

I can't believe its already the first Friday of the month already. Time flies. DH is working nights on this weekend. The kids will be in bed at 7pm. I'm planning to sewing some hexagons. 

Come and join me and a bunch of other like minded ladies. Cheryll has the right idea.

Wednesday Catch Up

I thought that I would take some time out of my schedule to catch up with Lee at Freshly Pieced for W.I.P. Wednesday.

Its been a while since I have shown off some of my projects lately. At the moment I've been focusing on some EPP and have been attacking the Rose Stars. 

I have 8 stars completed and 3 more cut out and ready to baste. I am loving the color combinations. I have some Kona snow solid arriving for the background.

So head over to visit Lee and see what others have been up to over the past week.

Rose Stars

I have started plugging away at my rose star blocks.

I have finished 2 blocks. I have 7 in total

Still lots to go. I need to cut more fabric.
