Its Christmas Time

I love putting up my tree. My handmade ornies are so warm and natural and each one is special, I love my ornies from friends from swaps. And though I dont have little children anymore, my tree is pretty childproof...lol

and then.......


I picked up a jelly roll of modas new fabric, Etchings, thought about it for a week of what I really wanted to make, Im really into Union Jacks at the moment so I have made up these blocks this arvo, tonite Ill think about what Ill do between them to make them into a quilt for my lounge room. Once again I must sing the praises to the humble glue stick, so much better than pins when sewing something like these strips, holds them in place perfectly. Thankyou Bostik....lol

A great weekend

what a great day, actually feel like I achieved something, that could be because I stayed off the comp til now...lol. Finished off this table runner, the design is a One Day in May but I wasnt clever enough to trapunto it like Melissa Grant so I stitched it instead, but perfect for the coffee table

Peony Runner

One Day in May Creations, Peony Cushion was in a recent issue of Homespun magazine. Instead of making a cushion I thought it would make a nice runner for the blanket box in my bedroom. I love it!! Almost finished another Christmas runner too, backing and binding to go. (my least favourite parts...lol)
