Very soon I will heading off on a little trip....
(Well, not so little!)
And I have been "flat out like a lizard lying in the sun"....
(An Australian expression!)
Getting on top of all my school reports, assessments and corrections!
But I did manage, in the last couple of days, to squeeze in a bit of sewing to
relieve the tension!
relieve the tension!

| Sorry about the colour, it was particularly overcast morning when I took this! |
I cut into my stash of "From Little Things" by Sarah Fielke, which I won at Red Pepper Quilts a while back!
I decided on a pattern from the "Stitch" magazine my friend Colette sent me from the States!
And I am SO enjoying improvised piecing to a pattern!
That's what you call an oxymoron, isn't it?
It's a wonky half square log cabin!
 |
| Ah! That's better! |
It won't be finished before I head off, but that's okay!
It gives me something to come back to besides all that machine quilting!
I also managed to bind my house quilt...
So that's another one moved to the "Finished" list!
There'll just be enough time for one last post before I leave...
Happy days!

Delicious fabric Suz! I've not tried improvised piecing with or without a pattern! but your pieces look great!
Wishing you a happy and safe trip, enjoy!!!
Hope you have a wonderful trip, and it's warmer than Melbourne. Boy was it cold there yesterday.
I love the pattern with Sarah's fabric, it looks really good.
Love these blocks and the fabric is very special. I hope you have a wonderful safe trip!
Ooh, I am loving those fabrics - and that house quilt! Gorgeous!!
Have a wonderful, safe trip!
Oh I love that wonky block with the Little Things fabric! And have a wonderful time on your trip...although we will all miss you :) Can't wait to hear about your adventures when you get back!
Have a great trip. We will still be here when you return.

What a great pattern for those fabrics. Have a wonderful, fun, sunny, relaxing trip! Who knows what amazing inspiration you'll find behind every corner. Ps If you feel like doing cartwheels , go for it!
How exciting to be leaving this horrid Melbourne weather - but holiday's are exciting at anytime aren't they? Have a wonderful trip & look forward to hearing about it on your return :)
I'm exhausted by your amazing list of things you have managed to get through. The planned wonky blocks look lovely in the 'from little things' fabrics.
I hope you enjoy your trip - I'll look forward to seeing your fabric haul when you return!
Eeek I love the Sarah Fielke fabrics and they are going to make for a gorgeous quilt!
