What did I do on the retreat???

 

 

 

So what did I do on the retreat….Number three son and girlfriend asked If I could make a a simple little baby quilt…not knowing what the baby was going to be….I thought I would start on a baby girl quilt first….half way thru and one of the girls at our retreat mentioned that the baby had been born and it was a boy…knew I should have made the boy one first….LOL….not a problem, I just whipped up a boy one as well will show that tomorrow…have a wonderful day…

take care Peg….:>)

Retreat Time…..

 

New pot holders for the kitchen…..all my pot holders were getting a bit tacky…….so time for a bit of colour…

Yippee….Retreat time again…today 14 of us are heading off to Ridgecrest at Burrendong Dam for a four day retreat….this is an annual event and I think this may be about year number 7 or 8….I have so many projects packed so hopefully lots of show and tell next week….Chat again on Monday…hope you all have a fantastic weekend….

Take care Peg….:>)

What I made for Gloria…..

  

 

 

  

Club Quilt had a paper bag swap with The Patch a quilting group in Dongara WA….lots of lovely projects have been exchanged…..These are the goodies I made for my swap partner Gloria……I have made a block holder which is about 16 inches square, pin cushion and needle holder…….I did enjoy making all these for Gloria…have a fantastic day…

Take care …. Peg…:>)

Folders……..

 

I loved what Lisa did here….so I decided what a fantastic idea and I have made a folder for my L.I.B. bits and pieces, I have used an A4 binder and made a cover, the little buttons on the front fell off a beaded bag I had for years, I thought it just gave it a nice finish, now a few plastic sleeves and everything is secure, I like to have my projects in separate bags or baskets I think this a nice alternative…thanks Lisa…

take care….Peg…..:>)

For the mums….

 

 

 

 

The other day I showed you my flower…this is what I made …it is another one of those journal covers…..Because it was Mothers Day and our mothers are now 77 and 79…..what do you buy them????….they are both getting a little forgetful (but I didn’t say that) and I thought a note book each and a glasses case, they both loved their hand made gifts….but thought they were too pretty to use….LOL….enjoy your day….

take care Peg…:>)…..

a little gift for Mothers Day….

 

  

Meet my Janome…she is very special…and she always does an amazing job….but she does have one very small problem….. as you can see she has a very big arm, so when I do small projects it is very hard to sometime mauver the project …so for Mothers Day my beautiful boys gave me this lovely new little helper, no bells and whistles but as you can see her arm comes off…,….it is getting a little cold her now, so I felt I should make my new girl a little coat……..now I have the perfect pair…have a fab day….

take care Peg….:>)

To all the fantastic mums

Nothing compares with being a mother…
…who else can be bugged,
… tugged
…and hugged…
all at the same time?

Happy Bugging, Tugging, Hugging Day
