Internet Working in a Fashion

Hello again

Have the internet working again in a fashion, it goes for a while then drops out, but least I have it again.

This week has been busy again at work, only three more days to go then I get two off mmmmm, so hopefully will complete slip stitching the binding onto at least one of the quilts I am endeavouring to finish.

Not much else this week, oh have been looking at my stash to see what fabric to use in a bag I am itching to make, decisions, decisions.

Happy stitching until next time

Eight Days Straight


Have had no internet access since last week, due to the strong winds we are experiencing.
 Worked eight days straight, then had four off, now back for another eight.
The quilts are coming along .... Dad's has been quilted in the ditch and have attached the bindin, just needs to be slipped stitched onto the back, Mum's is being quilted at present (on my lunch break lol). Hopefully will get it all quilted today and the binding attached to the front.
Will post some photos once I have proper internet reception.



Happy stitching until next time :-)

No Power

Well yesterday's 46 degrees C, culminated in a storm, alas not much rain, (and the storm was a bit of a fizzer as well) and the power went out, had the generator going, but is stopped about one and a half hours ago :(

(The fire is still burning up in the hills, luckily it is away from structures and cattle).

So no sewing today, BUT I shall cut out some quilts and bags I have earmarked to do, the fabrics have been selected and they are in snap lock baggies with the patterns, so I shall put my last day off to good use.  (Back to work tomorrow for eight days straight, then four off, then seven straight), I love my job, but it does interfere with my quilting lol.

Happy stitching
