Happy Halloween to those who Celebrate .

Hello Everybody,
Calling in to say hello to you all ,I have missed seeing what is happening on here due to the fact that I have been away for a few weeks travelling with our caravan up the north coast taking with me some craft to pass the time and enjoying the getaway. The internet was not very good and used my usage so only did the emails this time.
This is where I find my inspiration on here so I am looking at every ones treasures and creations, and all the new projects that have been posted.
I really want to be sitting at my Janome so !!
. I am pretending that my  ironing basket is not full of  washing from being away. Oh well!!

Happy Halloween !!
28 neighbourhood children visited for Trick or Treat this late afternoon.  It  was good seeing them call in having some fun.

In our Caravan while away I did manage to put together some blocks for Elsie's quilt .My 5 yr old granddaughter. Not a lot of space in our van. I have half of he blocks finished and have  chosen  fabric for the borders . I am aiming  at  Christmas for a finish.
I also did some work on a cross stitch which I haven't tried to sew before and really enjoyed my time on it.

Helen from sewing is making this happy bright quilt for a little person.

Thank you for calling in.

The Hot Days are Coming!!

Hello Everybody,
Hoping you are all Happy and Well,
I have had a busy last month with all things other than sewing plus adding school holidays to it all !! I enjoyed my grandchildren over this time having the company of my big boy Grandies  also my little ones came for a holiday with their mum and dad.
It is the 2nd month of Spring and already having hot days of 38C in some places. So I think we are heading for a very hot Summer!!
Hoping to start a new quilt tomorrow for my granddaughter who is 5 yrs.
I have collected this adorable fabric for her quilt. Still needing some more fabric but will be able to get started.
This Fairy Dream  panel, Bush Baby Birds and Pebbles I purchased from Logans Patchwork.

When I attended the Wangi Quilters Club Quilt Show and saw their artistic talents I have to showcase some on here to share. They were amazing so impressive and inspiring.

Some more to share

.

 Love Santa.

These next 2 quilts are original Art Quilts by Trish Smith and she achieved some Awards with the showing of them .

Some Crochet art for the crochet lovers. I would love to be able to crochet, it looks fabulous so creative..
I am a knitter and there is not much of that happening either at the moment.
My brother is suffering from Dementa and I have been taking him to be assessed and other appointments but in 2 weeks we should know his needs and all the running around will be finished and I look forward to the time for my sewing again.

Thank you kindly for calling in,
Your friend ,

Enjoying the days.

Hello Everybody,
I am a little late posting , Lots of visitors these last few weeks and have been out and about enjoying our warmer weather. Lunch at the beach as it was too nice to be indoors.

Loving the Spring weather.

This is Wangi Wangi , New South Wales on beautiful Lake Macquarie where I live.

  Wangi  held a Quilt Show and the quilts were amazing,
Some of the quilts showing.

This is my Table Topper I have just finished. It took a while . Most of my sewing is done on the machine. There is times when there is the need for some hand sewing. I did quilt it on the machine.  Hand sewing is pleasant to do and is a nice break from the machine and the bigger quilts

Till next time,
Your friend Jen x
