Hooked on my Hooking

Here is my first try at hooking this pattern.
Very lop sided not to great but I hope I will get better as the scraf grows.
Second one is looking better already!

What do you think?

Good Night In

Here is the work I got done on Friday night.

Friends were meant to come around, but I ended up on my lonesome.

Not really for I know there was at least 50 ladies were sewing

out in the great craft world. :-)

Looking great by the pool

This is a challenge quilt Mum(Life on the Block) and I have been doing. Maybe Mum could put hers up so I can see it. We had the same fabric and where only aloud to add one more. I added the dark blue.

Had to piece together a backing after placing some of the checked

Needs to be cut down to size

fabric in the front panel. Sure it will look fine. Maybe Mum can help sandwich and pin it when she comes up next!!!! Please.

Also planted some winter veggies, hope this spot gets enough sun during the day for my broccoli.

Don't you just love how a cat will magic its way into a photo...LOL 

Thanks Tove for model two new Jelly roll heart quilts

I had striped & cut them a couple of months back

Last night I finally put them together.

Do you think they need another boarder around them?? 

They are only lap quilts and are all ready 45"x45".

Must be off, food shopping, kids party and a BBQ 

for the rest of today's 

entertainment

ANZAC Day 2013

First I would like to say have a good ANZAC Day to Dad and all the men & women that have served us over the years.

After rising early and taking part in a ANZAC Day parade with pride, the day was all mine!
So what to do!!

Life lately has been beyond busy. Work stress has reached an all time high, coupled with a tight diet & exercise plan (lost 8kg in 10 weeks), kids, school & after school commitments (1-2 different things each day) it is time to sit.

BUT as one craft person to another we can not just sit there must be something in our hands to do!

Below is the view as I sit & stitch. Challenge quilt I am doing with Mum(Life on the Block fame) in progress.

Stitching a picture from the 'The Bayevx Tapestry' for a banner I am making.

I haven't spent all day stitching, also been working on the mess in the craft room. Scraps!!

Also more work on the challenge quilt with a cuppa. Ran out of the dark blue...nooooo. All I need is 4-1 x 9.5in stripes to finish the last block. Public holiday and no craft stores open nooooo.
Love the cup DH got for me, sums up my world!!

Time now to pop some things in the car for a trip down south, and a bit more sewing he he

Time for it to find a home.

Nice blue binding

Today was back to school......YES!!

So it was time for Mum (Life on the Block) and I to do a little fabric shopping.

and have a nice coffee in peace.

Found this great range on special! Orange and Blues

I  challenged Mum to a quilt off.

That's right it is on!!!

Who will come up with the best quilt from this range.

We are only aloud to add one more fabric.

Will post results soon.

FNSI at Mums

First post for 2013 is a lovely FNSI at Mum's

at Life at the Block.

We arrived a couple of days ago for

Sun, Surf and Sewing

Mum has been working me hard!

Have always loved the Chervon block

So decided to give it a go

This is the result after FNSI over two nights.

This will find its way to a little someone in Tassie

to brighten their 2013.
