A quick tidy up
Why is it that we feel we have to tidy the house the day before the cleaning lady comes? Well with my lack of mobility it wasn't the whole house just my sewing room. But that clean up has take several days! It must have been a good tidy because I came across an old treasure. This little p...

I have to have a MRI first so that takes a few days to get in. If I have the op I have to get a place in theatre, so another few days. Then I will request I go into rehab for a few days to get Physio. I am lining up the projects in advance.

Show Holiday
It is show holiday here today. The Ekka is in full swing but I will not be going. I am lamenting the fact that I will not get a strawberry Sunday. Those are to die for. And I will miss all the horse events. But my knee has given out and I have to sit around. I am off to Toowoomba wit...

I agree totally.

Why try to reinvent the wheel?
I did so enjoy working those small embroideries that I was going to draw up a whole new lot of designs. But then I went over to Kelly Fletcher's site and began wondering about all the effort involved when there was so much out there already. Or I could just join the "Start Stitching" Group ...
it is a very odd combination.

Where does she get these from?
Now, I have a collection of old doylies and some of them are wonderful, but Pauline must have a secret source for these pieces that she recycles. They are all pieces of art. I can never find anything quite as good as this to reuse. The other thing she recycles is old skirting boa...
Thanks for the heads up.

I stitched up those little pieces from Embroiderers Day and am making them into pin cushions. It was really enjoyable to do something quick and easy, embroidery wise. I can't say the same thing for the machining. I backed each one with some old quotes that I had bought by the metre in Houst...
I hate throwing good fabric away.

One of those Ebooks
I was saying in my last post that I had bought an Ebook of patchwork patterns. Well this was it. I haven't got around to sewing any just yet, but I will because there are some great patterns in there. The cost of the hands on book was ; The eBook was only $8.00 and it only takes up spac...

I was looking for cheap tassels
I had morning tea with a friend the other day and she said there were cheap tassels at the dollar shop in Wynnum. So armed with directions I drove off to look for it. Problem was there was no parking. But a drive around a few blocks saw me find a park within walking distance. But, I then wa...

It was and it is all because of Queenies original post a few years ago that we knew about it.

World Embroidereers' Day 2019
Well another one put to rest! I haven't heard back from the other sites as yet but the event I attended at the local library was well attended and attracted a lot of interest. In fact we never had a spare seat. There was a good range of ages and everyone just loved the stitching. One of ou...
It is a very useful stitch.

The Quaker Stitch
I first saw this stitch back in 2007 when I did a workshop at the Quaker Centre in Kendall (UK). I hadn't seen or heard about the Quaker Tapestry at that time but during the time I spent there I studied the Tapestry every day. This stitch is really good for lettering and when I found this vide...

New Applique Technique
One of the blogs that I subscribe to is Martingdale Publishers. I sometimes find a book I like and I have bought a number of Ebooks from them. In one of their latest posts was a video about a new applique technique, called "stitch and flip" applique. Sounded interesting, so I had a look. I ...

Introducing a new family member
This is nugget. He is a Beagle, Pug cross, 6 weeks old and a bundle of energy. At the moment his favourite occupation is chewing everything up. Tomorrow he and Charlie are going to be introduced. I wonder what the outcome will be?
