Gosh you must have been tired Dilli to sleep through lunch and most of afternoon. Thank you for the awesome books I got today .... Will definitely be using those.
Mafe it til the sewing room today - made about 30 pennants all joined together to make a banner - all Christmas fabrics. That's for my Christmas loving daughter for her birthday in October. Then I started on a Christmas table runner for another daughter. So at last I have started my Christmas gifts.

Sounds great barb, I made lots of xmas stuff a few years back when we had a white xmas. everything was made white and silver. The smaller grandchildren had not experienced our white xmas in nz yet. hehehee
(everyone wore white and all pressie were wrapped in whit, white tree, and white decorations, treeskirt, table runners, stockings, placemats etc etc etc. was a lot of fune but someone else can do them now if they would like another white xmas - I come from Holland and we often talked about white xmases) lots of laughs sewing all the stuff too. All the best and enjoy the rest of the xmas sewing. I only sew stockings each year now. JUgs on for drinks. mash and sausies for dinner. (and I burnt the sausies but thell be ok only me eating them) Have a great eveing all.

OK - I've been busy

Finished this a week or two ago - is for my sister-in-law's 60th soon. We're hippies from the old days and she loves purple. It was a cotton sarong and I didn't want to cut it so just added the border and had a go at machine quilting.

This next one is a pattern called "Dancing Nine Patch" and inspired by Bonnie K Hunter and her scrap quilts. I've used Canteen Bandannas again and this is just the top finished today. Will probably just put Polar Fleece on the back and intended to give it away to Hospice maybe but I have a friend whose 26yr has just undergone a double mastectomy and it just occurred to me that I would like to finish it and give it to her.

Hi Barb - love the disappearing nine patch quilt. I am making one at the moment. Queen size with batiks. It is all coming together nicely. I also want to make one with bright childrens fabrics which I have been collecting.
I love this pattern - so simple yet very effective.

Hi girls. Not made it to sewing room today. Mum left with my brother for two weeks in Australia with another brother and the house feels very quiet. Which is rather odd as Mum is not a noisy person. I have been reorganising cupboards in the kitchen. When we moved in together, people just put things in cupboards without any planning and I have been meaning to rearrange for ages. Amazing what I have found. Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend. Jugs on for those who want a break.

Good morning all - it's another mild day in Wanganui. Finished the table runner yesterday but not happy with its finish so will be keeping that one for myself instead of giving as a gift. Also started (and almost finished) some red and purple banners for my chapter of the Red Hat Society.
Coffee is on .... Help yourselves.

Hello everyone. This time last night I was at A&E having some funny things happening to my right eye. Didn't get home till 1.30am so bit tired today. I always thought I was a pretty easy going person without a care in the world but I managed to have 3 panic attacks while there so they checked me pretty thoroughly before sending me home. Eye still not right and am seeing GP on Monday. I thought I might have had a detached retina but they couldn't see anything in the exam. This getting old is a bit of a pain at times.

barbrose - 2014-06-11 22:06:00
46784

All the best Barb. Hope your eye sort itself or that you get it looked at and sorted by your GP.

Haven't done any sewing for days .....just doesn't feel the same in the sewing room without mum who has been in Australia since the beginning of June. She comes home tomorrow so maybe I will start being creative again soon. I've actually enjoyed the wee break - almost like I was on holiday too but looking forward to having her around again.

barbrose - 2014-06-15 21:57:00

Hi all. Well sewing room taking shape. Still have two more chairs to distress and wax, shelves to fill and stuff to hang on walls etc. Room is nice and big so my crafty friends can sit and knit or sew on couches at one end or bring sewing machine and use table. When we moved in room was orange, full of dents and stinky carpet. Best bit though, I've totally furnished (including machines) for only $1200 from Trade Me. It won't stay tidy for long as I sew like I cook. Not to bad but in a sea of 's#%&t' lol!

Thanks Dili.....my long term abition is to sneek in a quilt frame! For now I'm happy to have space to set up both sewing machines. Annoying thing tho, I recently acquired the Virtuosa machine instead of my 930 and the perspex insert for my sewing cabinet no longer fits. Righto, off to work sooon, classroom day for me taking two new staff members through orientation training for care facility

Great sewing room viv - wish mine looked like that now. It did for a week or two and then the fabric and other bits and pieces took over. It was a revolution!!!! Am off for dental surgery tomorrow - 4-5 hours in the chair under sedation eeeeek. Not looking forward to it but I really want to save my teeth. Thank goodness they sedate us scaredy cats these days. Probably won't get to do any sewing for a few days.
