My weekend at Phillip Island

I had a great time over the Mother's Day weekend at Phillip Island. The Patches group treated us well at The Island... There was about 130 women in attendance and all the classes were interesting and went well.

I spent up with bargains at the shops, ate well and sewed into the wee hours of the night...

I caught up with Kerryn from Christmas Creations...

We all know she doesn't like her photo taken. No Kerryn I won't show all the photos and embarrass  you.

Sorry Kerryn.  This will be the only one though.....

I also caught up with a lovely Mother daughter team, Margaret & Melanie, from the Yarra Valley. I hope to see more of them over the next year. I first met these lovely ladies last year and have been keeping in touch over Pineterst with Melanie. It was great to catch up with them....

My great tutor was Maureen Miller.

Her class was the Compass Rose table runner.

 This is my progress so far.

 This is where I got up to on Monday at my next sewing day..

Maureen did a fantastic job being our tutor with this class and I have put down for her leaf class next year.

 This is my second choice for next years classes. A lovely appliqué quilt...

I can't wait to go to the Island next year. Hope I get in...

The last Blue SATURDAY for JANUARY

On Saturday I worked with my blue scraps. It was the last Saturday for the month and before we started the new colour PINK for February. 

I managed to sew all of my crumbs. AMAZING. I never thought I would get through them.

I did all the machining SATURDAY then finished the hand work on Sunday.

Here is what I made and got finished too.

 Fabric bowls x 2

 Large zippered purse ( 50" binding )

Table runners x 2

I am linking up with ANGELA for So scrappy Saturday's. And say goodbye to the
BLUE MONTH

Finishes with friends

My Friday night was spent finishing some Xmas projects.

Like many others over at Cheryll's FNWF I am enjoying my night with my daughter. We are working on more breast cancer awareness hangers & the binding on a puzzle quilt.

I have finally finished not 1 BUT 2 Xmas Tree wall hangings complete with lights. They sparkle so brightly and look amazing.

 Then I got around to finishing my Dresden Xmas  table runner I started at the Toolangi retreat with the Kilmore quilters

Come on Xmas. I just might be ready this year.

Slow stitching Xmas on a Sunday

I am finishing off my Xmas table runner that I have made with Dresden plates.

I am sitting here slow stitching the binding and linking up with KATHY's Quilts.

It's always good to takes some time out to slow down and relax for a while.

 Hand stitching is good for the soul.
