After our lovely relaxing weekend away we have all been unwell, there have been many days off work and school and lots of laying on the couches!!! The kids and I are much better than we were, it seems to take awhile to get over it completely. Therefor there has not been much happening in the sewing department.<br /><br /><br /><br />We have our school concert this week. The children in my grade are so excited. I have spent a lot of time this weekend sewing costumes.<br /><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240630764147704450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaNYDi5WXzpSxroYCbD5uc_iJCH20uSDaqmZKjlkVM4M28tB2bLsf911VftePZtCZBZzeu9mFxTgzipaHfS0NnZFV_IifIT6In6Y5Kh8IBLlPWECSFnlyUsNg5kw86_bQkU5oc6liqB_s/s320/100_1096.jpg" border="0" />I have displayed a quilt which has finally been finished.

Here are some of my purchases! I bought the black and whites and reds for the New York Beauties I have been working on. The fabric squares because I liked them and the floral fabric will be a major part of a stitchery quilt I am working on. Hopefully I will have some sewing time this weekend.<br /><br /></div><div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>Janettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10766241927902957410noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917191248456531551.post-35886337193979777812008-07-26T16:09:00.008+10:002008-07-27T22:23:48.205+10:00Pretty things in winter<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMru685LcseFfOdp5rPnemDAK2Nr_-3yMcJUWsWwg5B9Br1dsA4EwcUZmHxDq03IPHmq_HRbjtR3UW7K3lM-nHZfr6rXN9jj4ygMgfv0_fUMqcs6iby4hhqNgXTqTH_AOjcLcPNWM-Ox8/s1600-h/collage1.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMru685LcseFfOdp5rPnemDAK2Nr_-3yMcJUWsWwg5B9Br1dsA4EwcUZmHxDq03IPHmq_HRbjtR3UW7K3lM-nHZfr6rXN9jj4ygMgfv0_fUMqcs6iby4hhqNgXTqTH_AOjcLcPNWM-Ox8/s320/collage1.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="middle" border="0" /></a>The winter roses in my garden are just beautiful this year.

I have been busy catching up with friends and some very productive sewing time. A sewing day with the girls was most enjoyable. It has been great spending time at home with the kids. Pa made a puppet theatre for the kids, I made the red curtains with the gold trim (as requested) and my 8 year old girl added the final decorations. I recently took part in a New York Beauties class, so decided to try this pattern using black, red and gold, all different colours for me!</div></div>Janettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10766241927902957410noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917191248456531551.post-42839811354242568942008-07-03T05:00:00.000+10:002008-07-03T09:14:56.932+10:00on holidays<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr5LFcj5z-VZPWMx1mNbJbadZ8WXldZBcIa4lzvGItTMWBZsWrGur02e7OGUf9vMoA9CEuiYbB5DZwZ-XSnj7n8lRhz_8QsX_6jBBDYHzhoeea-Ix3Dh3namcQb3P98s-707F5LiN5wqo/s1600-h/100_0969.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218398051902033010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr5LFcj5z-VZPWMx1mNbJbadZ8WXldZBcIa4lzvGItTMWBZsWrGur02e7OGUf9vMoA9CEuiYbB5DZwZ-XSnj7n8lRhz_8QsX_6jBBDYHzhoeea-Ix3Dh3namcQb3P98s-707F5LiN5wqo/s320/100_0969.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I have viewed a few blogs and thought what a great way to share our love for sewing and craft.
