Things are so slow are the moment.

A little bit of stitching, only what I can do when I am supervising lessons and homework. This is the last block for the quilt. I had to look up the sequence of the colours for the rainbow. Still, I... Continue reading

We are having some problems at the moment. That girl is so strong willed! I have to make that an asset.

Lots of action

The current situation with Covid 19 virus has seen lots of people moving out to the islands. What with the home buyers grants and the cheap land on some of islands to the south of us this area has seen... Continue reading

Returning from sick leave

I have had another week where I was out of action. Well mostly out of action. I still had to supervise home schooling 3 days each week. I have to say it is a bit of a struggle when you... Continue reading

Yes, they are really flexible. I will have to get some.

I see most of the tutorials use plastic but I have some old ones from China that used cardboard. That is why I want to test that out. (Still have to get some plastic.)

WIPW

I don't have much time to stitch now that I am home schooling my grand daughter but I take my Medici sample with me to try. Problem is that it is just like one of those puzzles where you mustn't... Continue reading

Yes. It took a bit of organisation but it is possible.

Something else to keep me on my toes.

BEFORE I took on the role of home teacher I had taken on the role of the Secretary of the Coochiemudlo Artisan's Collective. By the time all the home schooling stuff had started it was too late to back out... Continue reading

Taking Stock

The past month has been difficult but I hope I am coming out the other side. Home Schooling starts this week and I must say I am worried about it. It is the 'thinking about everything that could go wrong'... Continue reading

The skill that is out there in the world is amazing.

Thank you.

I think I left it too late to learn.

Commented Oct 2, 2020 on Lace from Solvenia at caro-rose-creations

It is like one of those puzzles where you mustn’t lift your pencil off the paper.

Lace from Solvenia

Last week at the Guild one of our members brought in some bobbin lace work that belonged to her neighbour. As it happens I taught both daughters of that neighbour and like most kids of migrants they never said anything... Continue reading

Thank you.

Commented Sep 30, 2020 on Another block finished at caro-rose-creations

WIPW

The last embroidery for the quilt is ready to go. The combi block is going into a mug bag, and the Medici embroidery is driving me mad. So much so that I have decided to stitch the one I found... Continue reading

You only have to miss out once.

Yes I have found the internet great but when it goes down there is a big hole.

Another block finished

This block was surprisingly more complicated than it looks. Those little hexies were very frustrating to stitch and attached. The fabrics I have used are what I intend to piece the quilt in, very sweet and pretty. I think they... Continue reading

Something to explore

I came across Teresa's patchwork videos whilst looking at Facebook and found her methods very engaging in fact I almost became addicted to them. They are all short and easy to watch. There are actually 200 videos on the playlist!... Continue reading

Finding this fabric has taken years and then I had to buy a kit. For all the simplicity of the pattern I am finding it challenging.
