A Request

I am looking for a pattern that will utilise a fat quarter bundle of Moda Aviary by 3 sisters.I have been to the Moda Bake Shop with no luck, well there is a stunning one but its getting the extra fabric that I need in Australia, perhaps someone can point me to an Australian online store that sells the Moda Aviary on the bolt.......

Can anyone help?????

Otherwise the beast still isn't happy it turns out a cog was the issue but now all the timing is out and the auto cutter won't cut and the needle is hitting something so if it can't be fixed here by our sewing machine man its off to Perth, I am very blessed though as my boss has one for her quilting frame which she isn't using so I am going to borrow that until mine is fixed or replaced.

PHEW

and the computer is unlocked took Jason all of 10 minutes to fix it, YIPPEE now I am back to re loaded my programs like Dear Jane and Dear Hannah and my favourite Mahjong

We had some more Moda Love arrive today I bought home a jelly roll of Snippets by American Jane which I am going to use for Rosalie Quinlan's Jelly Roll bag and there is a fat quarter bundle of Snippets but I am in two minds over that one, we also received Neptune JR, Basket of Flowers JR, SR and fat 1/4 bundles, and Patisserie SR and JR and a HUGE book order, email me if you are interested in some of our Moda Love we are happy happy happy to post anywhere.

have a great Wednesday :)

photos tomorrow I promise

Technologically Challenged

Is my middle name tonight lol

I have locked myself out of my computer.... seriously lol

until I find or remember the password I am back to fix the current issue square one with no computer lucky I have DH's here :)

argh!

Its Back

The computer that is, I dropped the printer in this morning on the way to work and had it all back by noon, it did take some over the phone assistance to get the computer and the router to co operate but we managed it :)

Still got all my photo's :)

Still have all my emails and address book :)

all my favourites

Jason is a STAR

But the beast isn't so well, rumour has it that the beast is going on holidays to Perth.......... it could be the motherboard ..... I will know more tomorrow lucky I have Pinkie.

Our camper is ordered and I am rather excited to be going away TWICE in 3 months lol once to Perth for the Quilt West Exhibition/ Craft show thingie that's on and to collect the camper and then when we go away the girlie's are very very excited and here is a photo of the camper trailer we are getting ours is Blue and Grey and where the fly screen room is we are getting canvas instead with windows.

as much as I would love to have a caravan, I think this will suit us more and hey I can rough it every now and then lol.

No photos of quilting progress YET

Henry cat is off to the vet on Thursday he is losing his fur so he is off to be checked out. Only 3 more days until school holidays I wonder if the Easter bunny will come to me????

The Bugs have spread

Do computerized sewing machine get bugs too????

The beast is going to see Ed the sewing machine repair man tomorrow :( :( :(

I was happily sewing along minding my own 1/4inch seam when the beast had a hissy fit beeped at me and stopped and is now refusing to sew :( :( :( and I was on a roll with my sewing too.

Thank heavens for Pinkie, she was pulled out of the cupboard where she has been resting and woo hoo I am back to 1/4 inch seams and not quite on point blocks. I have been working on the quilt I am making for the shop, I have done the centre medallion, I have added the 1st and 2nd borders and have 1 side left to complete the 3rd border, 4th border is some more applique then that just leaves me with 3 more borders lol, as soon as my pesky bug filled laptop is back I will share some photos, and hopefully tomorrow night the beast will be back in business

Now firstly I have to say I love my husband but at the moment Jason the computer man is my hero, he has been trying to fix my laptop without having to wipe and restore, alas for me he has had to wipe and restore :( and I got to spend Thursday hunting for all the operating discs, I wasn't able to locate the XP recovery discs oops, photoshop 7 bigger opps, the printer software oops again nor my camera software oop, oops and oops again, but jason the legend has fixed it all for me bar photoshop 7 which if anyone has I would LOVE to borrow it, same day turnaround postage wise :) :) :) anyone..... no tomorrow I get to drop the printer in so he can download something that will make it work again once its connected to my laptop. We never loaded to software onto DH's so we are printer free and the moment.

We had the funeral on Friday, it was as lovely as a funeral could be and I especially loved it when they released helium balloons at the end..

We have also decided to purchase a camper trailer, and in August we are going away for 3 weeks, we will be going to Port Denison and Canarvan with 2 other couples and 8 kids :) DH is ordering it tomorrow and we are hoping to collect it mid may when we head to Perth for the big craft show that is coming to WA. We are both looking forward to getting away.

Have a great Monday

Go look

go and look here at some yummy patterns

then head here at some more yummy patterns

personally I WANT THEM ALL

I've been corrupted :(

well my XP operating system has been :(

it wouldn't do anything for the computer tech, so he is currently doing a big nasty virus scan and if it comes up clear on that then they are going to have to WIPE everything on it and I am going to have to start from scratch again which will be fun for me NOT as I have no idea where my, XP recovery discs are, photoshop 7 disc is, nor my printer discs and as for the camera disc's NO FLIPPING IDEA, but he assured me that they will back everything up first.........

so fingers crossed its just a nasty virus and tomorrow won't be an expensive day for me :)

I have commandered DH's computer in the mean time, although I need to find his mouse, touchpads are just way to irritating for me :)

I better run I have to collect the girlies from the bus stop and then 2 of them have tap dancing in 19 minutes and it takes 10-15 to get to town oops.
