Spring - beginnings

Out in the garden today I noticed that the mulberry tree was beginning to burst with small leave and fruit - not long now - here's to sunny days

Some things finished - some things started

Got some photos to share- finished the lovely quilt for G with the fabric that her bestest friend Suzy bought for her in the holidays - Suzy and her partner Pete are wonderful adult friends for G and love her and indulge her in such a fantastic way I am blessed that they are part of her life. I have been designing and playing with a quilt for Suzy using June's Backyard fabrics and am very happy with the pattern. First one I have done on the computer with the little patches of fabric colour downloaded from a website.

And now to reveal G's new quilt with kitty cat fabric and red toile - works a treat and all designed by my gorgeous 13 year old

Still here - stil thinking about sewing more than actually doing sewing but still happy to think and plan - Is that OK - I think so!!!

Does anyone else have a problem with pets getting in the way of their pinning??

Kitty News

My darling girl just spent some time with friends Suzy and Peter who love her and always seem to enjoy her company. And during a visit to the Kirkaldy Quilt Shop in Strathalbyn ,G designed her own new red and black quilt, The staff translated her pattern in to a custom quilt and today Suzy brought me the fabric all ready to sew with a pattern with instructions. Very impressive for my 13 year old - she must have been watching me - Another quilt on the to do list - which is great fun for me. Thank you Suzy.
