Happy Saturday
Take Care Peg….
The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.
see how the second border is stitched on – it is sort of offset…
another addiction I think…………
Kerry is hosting a new BOM – ‘This Goes With That’……….this one is paper piecing by Sue Daley….
It runs for 8 months and over that time you will receive templates and pre- cut papers of 7 different shapes that all go together to make an assortment of 2 1/2" hexagons………..these are the first two paper pieced blocks
….this is going to be so good…..…..Pop over and see Kerry if you would like to join in…
Happy Friday….
Take Care Peg…
The cyclone derives its powers from a calm centre. So does a person.
This is what I made on our recent retreat at Cottage On The Hill…
There is a bit of a story…..….my very dear friend Kerry had designed this from a card I had given to her a while back….when Kerry received some new fabrics in the store Bali Pops she came up with this fantastic pattern to show off the fabric…..
I rang Kerry last week to say please organize a surprise project for me….so….when I arrived in Nundle she asked me to select some fabrics…A jelly roll of Bali Pops Pink Lemonade was what I selected in ….still having no idea what I was making, my first instruction was to make 24 blocks which was a square in a square….still no idea…then Kerry produced the star that she had made, and said, that’s what you are making…shock horror……I have never attempted anything like this….(but how could I say no)……anyway I made the star, and I decided to raw edge applique the star onto the black fabric, I added the borders and then Kerry surprised me again….. my next instruction was to add prairie points to the outside….so here it is…..
thanks for making me go outside my square Kerry….I did love the challenge…..
(I think my quote today is perfect)…
Happy Thursday
Take Care Peg…
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive.
A progress shot of my secret project…..

Happy Wednesday
Take Care Peg…….
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.
We are back….
and we did have the best time, on our retreat to Cottage On The Hill….(thankyou, so much Kerry for spoiling us rotten….)
I asked my dear friend Kerry to ‘surprise me’ with a project…..and this little pile of fabric, is what, she gave me….
I had no idea what I was making………..challenging is what it was…(more tomorrow)……
Happy Tuesday
Take Care Peg……..
You learn something every day if you pay attention.
Its that time again…..
My bags are packed and I am ready to go…..sounds like a song….
Tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn we are heading off on our annual retreat to Nundle Cottage On The Hill…
Lots of show and tell when I return…..

He who sings frightens away his ills.
Another finish for me…..a little table topper…the fabric was French General…”Lumiere de Noel”……and I also used a bit of osnaberg for the border…
Happy Wednesday

I think skipping could be the answer to many of our adult health problems.
