W.W.W.W.

I have updated this post with information about Wendy's patterns.

Workshop With Wendy Williams, that is!

I spent a fun day at "Cutting Cloth" admiring all 

Wendy's lovely quilts....


   
This heart quilt is now available as a pattern here!


and learning a few stitches and tricks!

Pistil stitch, Whip stitch....
These were all made by Wendy!

Reverse applique of pretty floral fabrics, 

and colonial knots!


One of these, above,


and two of these are mine!


Look at those cute sheep!



                   There was plenty of inspiration...



as if I need another project!

Even the bathroom was inspiring!


How cool is this for a curtain?

I do have an idea for my own design, 

but time will tell....


My 'flowers' so far!

Have you tried wool felt work and embroidery?


Happy sewing!

Liberty Love!

I finished this cushion cover recently...

I need to buy a bigger insert

made from my meagre stash of Liberty fabrics!


Most of this was purchased at a New Year sale from 

Kim @ L'uccello.

Happily my stash is about to increase....

10 fat quarters of luscious Liberty!

thanks to this amazing giveaway!

Have you heard of Massdrop?

No?

 I hadn't either until I read all about it on 

Sarah's blog 

where I won the Liberty!

"Massdrop helps people buy together as a group

to get awesome prices for the things they want."

And who doesn't want more Aurifil 

at the cheapest price?

I know I do-


I certainly NEED more thread!

Where I live, Aurifil costs anywhere 

between $16.25Aus and $17.50Aus 

for a 1300 metre reel!

I've snagged a six pack for $45.99!


Even adding very reasonably priced postage 

makes this a great deal!

(I've just read that the postage is free if you are in the US!)


There's still time to grab some!

(This is purely independent blogpost, 

not sponsored by anyone)

I'm now planning what I will make with all my 

pretty Liberty!

Hurry Mr. Postman, hurry!

Happy sewing!

Happy Mail!

Mail to Australia is really slow, yes REALLY slow, 

at this time of the year!

So I was delighted when my thread 

from Jane finally arrived....

And in today's post was this delightful bundle 

of lusciousness!


I was very lucky to win a SMS giveaway at 


Lauren very kindly added some extra pretties 

to the original prize!


Thank you, Lauren, you are very generous!

I am already planning what I will make!

But I might just look at it for a while!

And Mr Fox is now keeping watch,


keeping me 'on task'!

Thank you Mary, I love him!

Happy sewing...

(and stay warm, my Northern Hemisphere friends!)
