Some of my projects

I enjoy stitching, whether is be embroidery or quilting, or sewing on the machine. I just love what one can do with needle and thread.

I thought it was time I shared some of my projects with you. Above is a block holder and a small project bag.

At the moment I have a number of things on the go.

1. Hand quilting project, the top I made a couple of years ago and I have the quilt on the quilting hoop at the moment.

Oops, I have one of the photos on its side.

2. Red work embroidery, I'm hand stitching and the moment - that has been fun and I have started collecting red fabrics for the blocks that I'm sewing together to make the quilt.

3. I'm still working on the items that need finishing from my Loxton weekend in July, nearly there - as I have been working on them simultanously.

4. A beautiful Blackbird design which I found in the American House and Garden Magazine, Patchwork and Quilting a year ago. That quilt is done in reds, pinks and creams, I'll have to take a photo of that work in progress. The project has I think 12 pieced blocks,which are stars and 3 applique blocks, which are of a vase of flowers. I'm really enjoying that.

5. And .... there are a number of small things that I'm working on.

I should get alot more done now that soccer and netball are over. This weekend I'm joining my patchwork and quilting group "The Evening Star Patchwork Group" on a weekend away at Lake Cullaleraine. Lake Cullaleraine is just over the South Australian border and approximately three quarters of an hour away from Mildura. We are going to have 2 1/2 days of quilting, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, - away from everything. I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully I'll get quite a bit done.

Blessed be.
