Some finished hexagons

Her are a couple of pics showing some finished hexagons from the This goes with That and the Fussy Cut Club.

Some Shopping

Some more fabric has made its way into my stash. I don’t know how but it did.

Precut Hexagons

Hi all, I have found the most amazing online shop that is doing something really great.  It is Possum Blossom Patchwork the brainchild of the wonderful Joanne.  I came accross this wonderful blog and shop a couple of weeks ago.  I contacted Joanne and immediately ordered the Multi Pack of Precut Hexagons in Good Fortune and Terrain (both by Kate Spain).  The special at the minute is that if you order these packs you get a free pack of paper piecing hexagons.  These hexagons are all perfectly precut and come in fantastic packaging by way of the most gorgeous little box with the name of the fabric line on them.  Joanne cuts these particular 1 inch finished hexagons from Layer Cakes.  I was sooo excited when these arrived I immediately contacted her to order more.  These are like little boxes of candy.  If you love paper piecing (which you know I do) just go on over to Joanne’s blog and shop and get buying.

Block 3 – This goes with that and the Fussy Cut Club

This was block 3 of the This goes with that and the Fussy Cut club that I’ve been getting from Quilt Fabric Delights.  I am absolutely loving this paper piecing.

Back soon with some pics of the finished Hexagons.

Welcome to 2012

Hi all, welcome to 2012.  I know it’s February, well nearly March but it’s been a bit hectic around here.  I haven’t been up to much but work, work and work.  I’ll have a couple of posts up in the next couple of days to catch you up.

Here’s a picture of the little Daisy dog who is now one year old.  How time flies.

 

Black Caviar does it again

I’ve just watched Black Caviar win her 16th race from 16 runs. This mare is just so beautiful to watch. She brings a tear to my eye everytime she runs because she just makes it look for effortless.

Some goodies arrived in the mail

When I came home yesterday I was greeted by the most wonderful surprises.  Last week I ordered these from a couple of sellers on Ebay.  In that pile there is a Terrain (by Kate Spain) Layer Cake and some Terrain yardage.  I also couldn’t resist a Little Apples (by Aneela Hoey) Charm Pack and lastly in the bottom left is a Charm Pack of Good Fortune by Kate Spain.  I was really excited about this because this range is not due out until January 2012.  It is gorgeous or what?

Month 2 – This Goes with That & Fussy Cut Club

I’m so excited that my Month 2 package of the This Goes with That & the Fussy Cut Club BOM from Quilt Fabric Delights.

The fabrics are so gorgeous.  You will also notice that in this month’s fabric is one from my fav fabric designer, you guessed it Kate Spain.  Yayyyyy.

The race that stops a nation

Well today is Melbourne Cup day in Victoria in Australia.  This year’s race has a lot of international contenders.  It is one of the richest races in the Southern Hemisphere.  Most people in Australia attend the race or if they can’t they usually attend lunches and watch the Cup on large screens.  The Australian people want this day to be a national holiday but the government is just not coming to the party.  Even those people who don’t have horses suddenly become horse experts on this day.

Some Sashiko for today

At a craft show I went to earlier in the year I found this cute little Sashiko cushion pattern.  I am doing this in a brightly coloured variegated Cottage Garden threads.  I’m really enjoying this.  The photo is not very good.  Sorry
