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 :)
