July

It is hard to believe we are already halfway through 

the year....

Flying Geese Quilt

This is what I have made so far!

My Gertie Marlane quilt (top right) is waiting to be hand quilted

Before I start machine quilting the flying geese quilt,

 (I need batting) 

I delved into my extensive library and found this 

book.

It is full of techniques and simple ideas.

This little zipper pouch is constructed in a different 

way to the regular one found on tutorials,

and it worked out well.

I decided to make this pouch (below) to try out the 

cork 'fabric' I had bought for another project but   

didn't use.

I'm already planning another one or two.

Finally, an infinity scarf made from a piece of linen 

lurking in the stash.

Now its time to get back to the quilting!

Happy days!

Work not Play!

I haven't had much play time for the last ten days or so, 

but I have done a little sewing!

Some more "A Wild Ride" blocks...

I did test a new block for Andy at A Bright Corner....

and ran this scarf up from some fat quarters of voile 

I had.....

difficult to photograph!

 I received blocks for the Gridster Bee I am 

participating in...

Aren't they fabulous?

And I've made one of my own...

It's hard to imagine that it's nearly time for me to 

return to work for another year,

but I don't really want to think about that just yet!

Happy days,

A road less travelled....

I've been away for a few days....

Enjoying the tranquility of a beautiful B&B...

Yes, this IS a bathroom....

This is the view out the front window....

Although the weather was cool, 

there were signs of Spring...

We've had lots of Spring rain...

so the Trentham Falls were flowing!

We travelled up to Mt Macedon...

with its Memorial Cross soaring skywards.

My father was station master here, 

back in the 1940's.

There was much needed refreshment...

and some retail therapy too!

A new knitting pattern and a hand knitted scarf

Now I am itching to getting back to some stitching..

Happy days!

Do you knit?

Patchwork, Quilting and Blogging have been my main creative  


pursuits for a while now...

But I do know how to knit...

In fact, this lovely wool has been waiting patiently for me all winter!

And I really think I will get to it soon, especially if...

 I can find a suitable pattern!

I did manage this quick project.....

Can you guess what it is?

It's a scarf!  Well, sort of!

the perfect little piece of woolly cosiness to wrap snuggly around the neck 

to keep out winter's chills!

I can see many more of these in my future!

And because I can.....

More fabric has been added to my stash!

Happy days!
