Hi there, It’s pouring with rain outside so it’s a day of sewing inside. Made another sewing keep…. everyone loves them i think…all the different shapes and sizes. Small ones that hold just needles, a cotton reel and embroidery scissors to ones with pockets and zips. The choice is never ending. The great thing about sewing and patchwork…a thousand patch-workers a thousand styles…
Until next time, Linda 🙂
Hello there, Going back to some UFO’s i found a project i was working on. I was enjoying it but for some reason stopped and put it away. When that happens it’s because something’s not quite right?After a change or two it’s all back on ………..and enjoying myself all over again!
Until next time, Linda:)
4 CommentsHi, Thought I’d put some photo’s up of the finished article. Spoonful of Sugar. The lady that quilted it, Carol Fearon did a great job as you can see in the close ups.
Village Green quilters had their show this weekend. The quilts were smashing, so was the cake!
Until next time, Linda:)
Hello there, Just dashed outside before it went dark to take some pictures. There’s not much twilight down this neck of the woods, it gets dark fast so they are a bit dark. Oh well…this will be a pattern for a wall hanging and sewing keeper. There’s a third piece to go with it which is a cushion and is done with red stitching.
Finally the wind has stopped howling in Auckland….i think it lasted for 4+ days non stop. A good time to stay inside and sew.
Until next time, Linda 🙂

Hi there, It’s been a while since i blogged but so much has been happening. My eldest son Chris got married to Amy his best friend for the last 10 years. We all had such a wonderful time and these two had a permanent smile on their faces all day. They were married in Queensland….love that place.
Back home again in New Zealand and busy getting a block of the month ready for All things Patchwork.
I have a bonus pattern to include with the final month and as usual it’s not finished yet…I can only show part of it. It’s a busy pattern and could be used as a wall hanging or a cushion or just parts of it.
My mum always asks me how many projects i have on the go and it’s always 3. We both know I’m telling a white lie! For years every single item of clothing or housewares my mum bought was 2.99 from Marks & Spencer. Mum would even holler it out before getting to the front door! I wonder how many other women do that? Lots of us i bet!!
Until next time, Linda 🙂
Where did that week go!
Trying to photograph a quilt I’ve just finished for a new pattern called Rose. I’ve pinned it up between tree branches as that always works well as long as it doesn’t tip down like today. A good day to stay inside and sew.
Hi,
After reading all the Quilting & Sewing blogs out there for the past 2 years I thought it about time I joined the world of blog.
The inspiration for this quilt came form a group called Colour Quarterly which is held four times a year at our local patchwork shop All Things Patchwork. We are given a FQ or 25cm of fabric (you can buy more). You never know which fabric you’ll be given so it’s a real challenge especially if the fabric is out of your comfort zone. It certainly gets your brain ticking over and it’s surprising what you’ll eventually come up with. It’s a fantastic idea and a lot of fun. The fabric we were given was the border fabric.
This quilt is called ‘An Autumn Guest’.
