Notice the glass of wine on the deck of the horse truck...and the blue ribbon around her neck that she won in dressage today. Those are the cushions that I have made for the shop. DD next door runs her shop from home and the colours are purple and blue. I didn't have much purple so used some hand dyed. See? I did make cushions!

Skippie, that another one of my future projects. I have cut the fabric out of men's shirts ready for the inspiration and time to make a "men's" quilt. As I said the other day - so many ideas/so little time!!!!!

BTW Dilli - you are a champion - that pile of work would overwhelm me. Well done.

Lovely quilt top Vi, don't know what you were shy in showing us. Just lovely, lucky girl who gets this quilt.

Hancocks sale, I didn't look so I wouldn't buy. Busy right now with the bags and im only using cream fabric on them. Its not reducing my stash at all which means theres no room in the cupboard for more nope :)
Jugs boiling ....

Thanks Skippie & Dilli. I feel such a novice LOL, and a slow one at that... you guys are sooooo productive! Haha I wasn't even tempted to peek at Hancocks this time, I think I ordered this lot around Xmas... it was sale price PLUS 20% off so an absolute bargain.

Question for you all... how do you store your stash? I've only got a wee stash but it sure has outgrown the drawer I had allocated to it... geez I even shifted my embroidery supplies out for it, but now what do I do??? Tis only me n Sas but we are a tad bit space challenged... any bright ideas?

Awesome ivy...I loooove the cat fabric! That quilt is gorgeousness itself!
Rather a busy day at work...one student went home after her 17th seizure and the ambulance took one off to hospital with diabetes complications! Talk about stress...the second was in my lesson and he was completely unresponsive...on the floor in the recovery position and the teacher almost in need of the same at the close of the school day!! I got a smile from him before he left though so I expect all will be well. No more booked days before the end of term...so here comes sewing.
