No fun sewing day

Today was a working day.
I had an order for fitted sheets to be ready on Monday.
They are stitched and packed ready for delivery.
So no pictures.
Cathryn is away at a sleep over and tomorrow is a family 21st braai
Monday is the start of the new working year.
I wonder what it will bring as I am no longer working for my husband
and hope to find something else to bring an income.
I am hoping I will be able to do my sewing from home,
enough to keep me busy and also earn enough along the way.
We will see what 2009 brings

Until later
Happy sewing

Still sewing ...and finished

Today was a major sewing day.
No breaks,well almost none.
I have managed to complete all the blocks and I
am now putting them all together so.....
the top should be done by tonight.
This mystery has turned out so nicely although some stages were a bit tedious
I think I will make another of the same.
Finished top photos to follow


Happy sewing

Completed top
The first for 2009!!

New Year Greetings

Good Morning all!
I did manage to stay up until the new year.
Cathryn and I watched 2 movies.
Both of us commented that we hoped this year 2009 would
not be like it(2008) ended.... both of us in tears!!
Still it was lovely to watch with her and see the new year in.
Today I am busy sewing my NYE mystery quilt.
Have already found I am 1 block short.
Until later, Happy sewing

Christmas has come and gone.

We had a wonderful time with family and friends.
This what I have been working on while waiting for the NYE mystery clues.
It is from orphan blocks made while teaching a friend how to
paper piece.
It will make up to a lap quilt size.
Here are some photos taken at Christmas.
Choir practice with my three daughters and sister, I am the one wearing the apron!
We had lovely weather and were able to sit outside

Until next time,
Happy sewing

Back home

Well again its been too long.
I have just returned from a weeks holiday in Margate.
Wonderful to relax.
I have however missed my sewing machines and all my fabric.
I am revving to go and sew again.
I will be doing a mystery quilt on New Years Day.
I also have about 7 UFO's or PhD's(Projects half Done) as I prefer to call them.
Sounds so much more professional!
Will be having my family over for Christmas Eve dinner.
This year I am making a Turducken.
Should be interesting!
This year will take photos to add to the blog.

Wow one whole month!

I have just realized that one whole month has flown past without even one tiny entry. Life is just too complicated at the moment. I have so much going on in my mind that I cannot think.




On the quilting front there has been some progress. I have completed 2 table runners for Christmas. and the "one of a kind" quilt has its first border on. It is looking much better even though it is not really what I would have chosen to make. still I feel that having started I must complete it.

Until next time
Happy sewing

Sucess on the Hinterberg

Well I did manage to setup the plexiglass on the frame and have done a double bed mattress protector.
It all worked out very well and I will be loading some more fabrics for the next lot of protectors.
I only hope they sell as well as they sew out!.



Here are a few photos of the laser setup.
I am really pleased with the way this all came together.
I am now looking for a laser light that does not use batteries but one which I can plug into the electricity.
My H says he can modify the battery operated one but we will have to wait and see how that pans out.

Until next time,
Happy sewing
