I've been Sewing

In between going to the end of year presentation assembly

for the girlies school, going to the supermarket and the usual

day to day stuff we all do I am so pleased I managed to get

some machine time in, working on Mums quilt

This block mum hand pieced

these blocks I machine pieced

now I have finished 9 of 13 blocks

YIPPEE

the next 4 blocks are going to be a mix of machine piecing and

my favourite needle turn appliqué 

sadly tonight I have 4 bon bon's needing their little

stitcheries to be stitched.

and a proud mummy moment,  Sophie got an

award at the assembly, she received her classes

'Citizenship Award'

and yesterday she informed me that all year she has been helping a little

girl in year 2 with her reading,

I am so proud of her, and so proud to be her mum.

Be still my beating heart

Miss Sophie had a girlie-friend come and stay on the weekend

Miss Emma was at her girlie-friends staying over

so I thought as I was minus the chatty, attention span

of a gnat girlie it would be a good time to introduce

Sophie and Miss E to stitching

designs were picked and traced

cotton floss was selected

needles were found

and voila

Miss Sophie and her first of many stitcherie's

meanwhile I have continued to sew hexagons

I have made the required 123 hexagons plus a few extras

as I want straight edges not the jagged edge the pattern

has

I still have 25 more to sew but they are all cut out and tomorrow

I will sew them up ready for their centres to be stitched on at night

I am hoping to get back to sewing Miss K's granny square quilt

tomorrow and I need to catch up on my New York Beauty

as this weeks block came out today and I haven't made last weeks

yet.

there is lots of sewing on my agenda this week, plus a farewell bbq

here on Saturday for one of hubby's work mates who is

moving north to another Port next month

(as soon as she is gone we get to move into the House on the Hill)

 it will be a stitching free weekend for me!

The pressure the pressure

and we are still having tv issues, tv man is supposed to be coming

today to see what he can do........emphasis on

SUPPOSED lol

and we are down to 1 child this weekend as the big girlies are

off on a scout camp, 2 whole nights of peace :)
