It's Back

My mojo that is. Since my last post I have a couple of hours

left of appliqué on mums quilt, 

then while wandering blog land the 

other day I came across a pattern that

loudly shouted

Make Me

so I wandered to the www store and ummed and ahhed about

buying the pattern for it, decided nope, can't really swing it, 

and then remembered I already had the pattern

in Annette Gero's gorgeous book

'The Fabric of Society'

So out came the reproduction stash, and 9metres of

background fabric and I was good to go

on Saturday morning.

Dancing Dollies is in Progress.

I have prepped 2 dolly strips, ready to be stitched down,

I have basted 40 hexagons, tomorrow I will cut out another 

40 and get them basted also

ready for my 3 hr layover in Melbourne on Friday.

Nothing better than a bit of hand sewing while

waiting for a flight

Really pleased to be going home, mum is in hospital, she

was admitted last Wednesday morning with severe pneumonia

no one has mentioned when she will be released

so my guess is I will be taken straight to the oncology

ward as soon as I land to surprise her. She has no idea I am coming

home. Dad will be fed properly again & I will leave him with a freezer

of food and his favourite cakes & biccies in the pantry.

I am also bringing home all of mums fabric stash, so I have

been told, but as I have a 6 kilo luggage allowance difference

between the airlines, my guess is Aus Post will be delivering her

fabric stash.

Our little house guest 'Annie' went home tonight. Annie

has been staying with us for 10 days and we miss her

But we have visitation rights so its all good. I think I will ask

Santa for a Maltese x Poodle for Xmas the girls adored having 

her even Henry tolerated her.

I'll pop back tomorrow with photos of mums quilt

and Dancing Dollies.

To all who were on sewing retreats last weekend

I was very jealous, you are all very blessed to 

have the chance to meet up with like minded people

and spend your days stitching & laughing.

One day I might just join you.
