Stitches

Just off loading my frustrations!  A few weeks back I left my dress making scissors on my chair, well as the story goes I sat down and the scissors went into my leg.  So upto emergency for stitches.  Wont be leaving the scissors on the chair again.  Monday off to the dentist for a cracked tooth and again home with a stitch after over an hour in the chair.  Im starting to feel like somethings just not right.  Praying for no more stitches this year.  Im really not enjoying drinking my coffee through a straw. At least I can still laugh HA HA HA.

Applique Tree Wallhanging

I spent so much time wondering what to do for the next boarder that I finally decided it didnt need one so adding a small boarder and making a wall hanging.  My daughter Alishya designed the tree for me I cant wait to hang it up.

Tuesday Treasure

Im a little early, well only just over an hour.  This is the beautiful sun rise although not a good pic.  Just love the change of season.  Plants are comming into bloom, sun is warming, birds are singing.  My favourite time of year.  The doom of winter is almost over for another year, what a beautiful world we live in.

Tylers Quilt

Amost done this quilt is for a sweet little boy Tyler.  His mum likes bright so I hope this fits the bill.  Cot quilt just needs binding but iv actually finished quilting YIPPEE.

Bed Ends

Working on some bed ends now that spring is in the air.  Soon all the extra quilts will be leaving and into storage for the summer so need time to add a quilt thats not a quilt??
This is my daughters single bed (Bed End) the points will hange over the edges of the bed.  Thanks mum for the pretty emboridery pannel in the centre.

This one was going to be for my bed and almost finished.  Going for the random nothing matches theme.  Will have to go to Alishyas bed as I miss calculated and made if for a double with the last patterned fabric overhanging the edges with tassels one end and beads the other.  I used up alot of damaged doileys and lace on this one.
