Getting back on track

What an exhausting two weeks we have had here. 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.



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.

I have displayed a quilt which has finally been finished. I began this applique quilt before I had the children. It is nice to now have it hanging above my sewing machine.

Spring is definitely on its way. The flowers are blooming and the tree ferns are showing new life!!

Pretty things in winter

The winter roses in my garden are just beautiful this year. Inspired by Annie I just had to experiment with the photo's. It has also been a nice day to potter in the garden while the children played with friends.

Stitcheries

A passion at the moment is completing stitcheries and then making them into quilts with various patchwork blocks. I enjoy the stitching and then the patchwork side as well. These flower blocks were great to take anywhere.
