Really.....

I am unpicking YET AGAIN

Sheesh will I ever get these blocks made

They are supposed to have the 2 dark triangles at the top, so why did I put the light triangles at the top....

Reverse Sewing Marathon

that was my day,

I am working on Block 4 of Civil War Journals

and yesterday I started to sew the remaining 9 blocks

all was going fabulously until I realised that instead of sewing theses

I had sewn these

and today my ironing board portable work space

looks like this :(

I unpicked 144 pieces of fabric and then re-sewed them

the correct way..... 

Ugh its been a while since I have had a day like that!

Road Trip

Yesterday a very good friend and I took a road trip

interstate.....to Victoria

why I hear you ask, well to visit 2 lovely

patchwork stores in Orbost

I didn't buy much really

these are my purchases

I need to make the reindeer, how cute is he

and Sophie informed me, she NEEDS to make

the snowman

this yummy pattern, by a NZ designer

she also had a a very delicious table runner,

but there were none left :(  so I will visit her web site

and order direct from her

a new clover blue pen, dh asked why I only

bought 1, but she only had 1, and some new needles

I love these needles for appliqué

I found this very cute little sign and it just had to come

home with me

and backing fabric for 'Erin's Quilt'

Sewing wise, 

the centre of my Civil War Journals is together

after avoiding night time sewing all week, I started the appliqué

on Month 3 of Butterfly Garden last night

I have 1.5 flowers left to stitch down

this morning I got block 4 ready for tonight while I watch

The Paradise on ABC1 and Messiah on Foxtel

Henrycat is busy supervising, he has made himself a sleeping

spot on my shelves, he can't possibly miss out 

and the embroided blocks of month 3
