Other plans

 My sister visited recently and I made up this cushion 

cover for her.

Then she helped me go through my stash of clothing 

fabric and match up some patterns...

The green check was a remnant from a thrift shop, 

      the donkey brown cord from Supercheap Fabrics. 

 

The mauve double gauze, from Spotlight, will be a top,

 the pink/red linen, an online purchase, a dress 

possibly for a mid-year wedding?

I love this pattern that Helen bought...

the navy check will be for her; 

the blue/pink will be mine.

Unfortunately, there is not enough pink to make 

this dress, it's pretty narrow.

I bought these 2 yards at Salvo's for $3.

When I did some research I found it online here

for $36.75 a yard!

Too nice to mess up, don't you think?

Finally another op-shop find, a cotton gauze that will 

become a kimono-style nightie.

All recorded here for accountability's sake!

Happy days,

Missing in Action

 well.....missing in Tassie, actually!

My sister and I have been on a road trip around 

Tasmania.

I took my latest quilt finish with me.

"Worries In My Pocket" had a little holiday too!

I quilted all the lines with my walking foot, even the 

curvy ones!

I love how it looks on the back too!

I am gifting this to a very special person who made my 

retirement a reality!

He has long admired my quilts and my Instagram 

following...

He thinks having 2000+ followers is a big deal! 😄

I hope he likes purple!

While we were away we rummaged through op shops

 (thrift stores to my Northern Hemisphere readers)

for doilies, vintage sheets, and even clothes!

And of course, some patchwork fabrics and wool came 

home with me too!

Now it's time to make some plans for all this lot!

Happy days!
