Stitch-a-long with Chooky Blue and Susan, fabrics and more

I have joined Chooky Blue and her friend Susan on their annual Stitch-a-long

It's needleturn applique

Something I am extremely BAD at

so it is a challenge for me

another challenge was using my fabric stash without

buying anymore.

I was lucky I had a 'scrap bag' of Fig Tree Fabrics and a

1/2 meter bundle lots of California Girl from Fig Tree

 

February's Blocks

 

March's Blocks

 

Going to be interesting - am a bit behind as co-rodinating poppies for Anzac Day

has taken a lot of my time but I had so much fun doing it.

 

 

So proud to achieve this with over 2500 poppies being knitted and crocheted for the day -

When I started the project back in Sept last year I thought I would be lucky for 500.

 

 

Have finished my Markets for the season - during Winter by weekends

are taken up with football and netball with the kids.

 

I love the yellow table and chairs bought from my local Mitre 10 -

everywhere I go the are used mostly by husbands and kids but I love the look.

 

More fabric arriving more jelly rolls and meterage.

 

Just to show a few

 

 

And some yummy brushed cottons (think pj's)

I had some spare time one sunday and decided to start working on my entrance.

Amazing what some time and cans of spray paint can do.

 

 

So migraines aside I am opening Sundays from 2pm - 6pm

Other times by appointment

(sorry Saturday's are family day)

 

Dont forget you can always go shopping at

A finish, a prize, and time for contemplation

If you read the blog and my facebook page you will know that I'm participating in Chookyblue's Stitch-a-long......we are completing

Anni Downs 'A Nature's Journey' divided into 8 months worth of work.

Anyone that knows me knows that I'm not the most organised person but I'm rather pleased to say that i have finished the February blocks  

Sundays sewing

Then I finished the last two blocks tonight

 

I know they're not perfect I've been putting off needleturn applique for years

And hope this challenge will improve my techniques and finishes...

On my Facebook page I'm also having a giveaway for this

Closes Wednesday night 

This Sundays sit n stitch session will finish at 5pm instead of 6 

as  I am off to Adelaide for more training.  The shop is also open.

Keep stitching

Some new arrivals

Just trying to keep updated with the stock that is arriving...

 

Had a great day on Sunday at Nays Place -

 don't forget this is your time to simply sit n stitch -

he he he do I say that its only 11 months till Christmas.......

Can anyone else believe that in 12 days time its the end of January ALREADY..

 

Somehow after a weeks training in Adelaide I managed to loose a week and was hoping against all hope that yesterday was only the 10th and not the 17th of January -

apparently I as wrong....

 

No 1 son about to start Yr 10 and get his licence in May, Middle son is about to turn 12 on Australia Day and is in his final year at Primary School, Miss 3 is in Yr 4 and still rules the roost.  We've now lived in Waikerie 8 years and its almost the longest time I have lived in one town, amazing how quickly time flies.

 

This year I made the resolution to finish some workshop projects - I may have a few starting from Australasian Quilt Convention in 2009 to Indulge in Stitches in 2014 - with lecturers from Anni Downs, Natalie Bird, Gloria Loughman, Braenda Gail, Gail Pan, Libby Richardson, Rosalie Quinlen, Melly Hurlseton (McNiece), Browyn Hayes from Red Brolly, Natalie Ross to name a few.

Haven't I been lucky - to attend a workshop is such a wonderful experience for all and to be honest my first time I had no idea of what to expect but no matter where I have gone I have meet some wonderful people, many whom I can now call friends.

 

Mind you have some more to do... (and this is only part of them)

This is only from last years Indulge in Stitches

 

 

Spent the afternoon in Nays Place - added some more shelves (gotta love a quick detour to Ikea after training last week) over 40 bolts of fabric arriving next week - slowly running out of room, I think that's a good thing.

 

 

Stay tuned for more fabric photos to be uploaded to facebook and pinterest.

 

Not sure if I showed you all but I did participate in Gnome Angels mug mat swap - I received a parcel from Trayce W from USA - complete with some chocolates (mm they went pretty quickly)

 

 

Think I shared a sneak peak of mine..

 

 

Cant wait to show you the fabric that I have coming in and yes it will mean rearranging 'Nays Place'

 

Keep Stitching
