Busy Busy Busy.

Hello everyone ,School holidays are here and the grandchildren  are filling our home. I have one staying for the week and two more close by coming everyday ( 1/12yrs 1/13yrs and 1/15yrs) They eat everything in site so have been cooking heaps muffins,pancakes, slices and a  cake, I don't get time to take a photo as it just vanishes . Teenage boys can eat. I must say they are fun to have around.
Today I am getting 3 more grandchildren staying for the weekend (3/ under 4yrs) Accompanied by their mum and dad.
I have finished a Quilted  Wall Hanging tutorial by Jenna Excell @www.sewhappygeek.co.uk which was very easy to follow and enjoyable to sew.



The fabric is a variety of Australian Wildflowers. 14 1/2"  - 21" I am going to brighten my sewing room with this wallhanging.

My Grandaughter (12yrs) while staying in the school holidays has started her 2nd quilt and has some blocks on the design wall .These fabrics she has chosen herself and wants a cream fabric to strip in between the blocks and for the border.



Some have been pierced and the others are ready to sew.Kristy will not get her quilt finished this school holidays but when she comes for the next hols will finish it ,(just like she did with her first quilt.)

I have finished two star blocks to send to Scrappy Appleyards request and they have been posted.



I must finish as my computer is wanted by my grandson and I have to get ready for when my little babies arrive.
 Have a happy sewing weekend .

I see you have very nice company and your grandchild are very good choosing and sewing a quilt.12 years, that´s very good. I have one who is 10 years, she likes to sew too.Recently she got a Charm pach from me and next time I meet her she will show me what she has done with it.
Pancakes I ALWAYS have to do to my grandchildren:-)))
