The Hay Plains

I thought I would share this picture with you. This is what we saw as we crossed the border in SA after many hours driving along the flat, flat, long, flat, dry, flat Hay Plains!

Twas the night before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house…..
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse….

Except over at "Hugs from Helen" there is a beautiful giveaway, of a christmas 7 part block of the month.

Hop over and have a look!

I've been away for a holiday!

Gee, it's been awhile since my last lot of blogging. We had a family holiday to Adelaide! What a wonderful town, so pretty, and clean. We went and watch the BMX World Champs! The racing was fast and furious!

The best thing about the trip was spending the day with the girls from Adelaide, that are in the craft group. I don't often get girly days, so this was splended! We all chat like we would if we meet every week!

A big thank you to Mrs Moo for opening her house to us all, I hope to see everyone in January!

Paper Bag Swap - Post No.2

Here's the Bag that Gail sent me in "Missymacks" Paper Bag Swap.

I sent Gail this matching set of cushions.

Paper Bag Swap!!!

Well, it is now all said and done, I love the bag the Gail sent me and I must admit that I did enjoy making the pillows I made for her. I would love to post pictures of these but the camera and the computer are having a domestic at the moment and simply won't talk to each other, but I am sure Gail wouldn't mind if you popped over to her blog (http://missnance.blogspot.com/)
for a look!

Thanks to Missymack for organising this swap!

Paper Bag Swap

Well, my swap bag has returned from its trip to Gails house, Oh I wonder whats inside?????

(I won't open it until Mine arrives there)

I posted Gails back to her today, Hopefully she'll get it ASAP! I hope you like it/them ;).

Paper Bag Swap - Missymack

Missymack is currently running a paperbag swap which finishes on the 31st May. I am nearly finished my item and will hopefully finish & post it off next week.

Pop over to her blog, and check it out!

Here is a sneak peak at what I am making.

Breast of Friends

These are 2 of my blocks, I have converted a lot of them to stitchery as I can not do applicate on the run. I hope you like them!

New Project - Dr Seuss

This is my new project, it's a Dr Seuss quilt for my youngest son's bedroom.

(Dr Seuss got him into and improved his reading).

Mum is going to paint some canvases to match the quilt I am making.

It will be bright and colourful when finish, but for now have to get about 15 stitcheries done, stay posted and watch this quilt develop!

Mystery Block of the Month.

I chose yellow & white as my colours for this swap, so I will end up with a cheerful quilt. This is my first block that Willgoer made for me, aren't the colours beautiful.
