Let us pursue what makes for
peace and for mutual upbuilding.

It is with
cheer that I can tell you....I managed to put my knitting needles down long
enough to do some stitchery and sewing!! I think it must’ve been the cool
weather we’ve had around here. It was very comfy sitting in the sewing shed
having a great old time. My favourite crafts magazines are out there, so I
pulled up a bit of bark (chair) and flicked through some of them. I came across
this cute little pin and needle holder and just went for it.
So sweet
The original
pattern had ric rac running down the side but as I have a love of buttons, I
thought I would change it a little. It measures about 3 in x 7in and a very
handy little accessory to have.
I recall
making a pact with myself not to purchase any more yarn....well that went out
the window on a recent trip to the craft shop. Couldn’t go by a great deal. Buy
3 balls get one for free and they only cost $4.60 each in the first place. I
suspect I’ll be back buying more now. Lol
Managed to
make a bit more progress on a wall quilt I have been working on for some time.
Stitched with love
Someone had
given me this panel with backing and wadding, so I’ve started quilting it. That
was part of my work yesterday in the shed. It’s amazing how much you can get
done when the weather is cooler.
I text a friend
yesterday to see if the stork had delivered her nephew....seems the stork’s GPS
isn’t working....he’s lost, no delivery yet! Hang tight Ashlee.
A few pics of
my childhood haunts being torn down...not very happy but at least I have some
pics to look at and remind me.
This makes me
happy though.....the island of Burano, Italy.
See you all
another time.
Cheers, Anita.

You have been productive in your shed. I like the buttons, too, on the pin cushion.
Great idea to quilt the panel. That should look good.
I know you can't resist a bargain when it comes to wool!
Love your photos.
I love the country themed quilt.
Love those buttons, nice switch :)
Also love the colors of both those yarns!!, especially the blue one. Nice find!!

If only it was cool where I am. We are all dripping with sweat in the humid weather on the qld coast. Love your yarn purchase. The pin cushion finish is great and the panel looks lovely. What a perfect holiday snap. Just like a postcard.

Gorgeous pinkeep & wool colours there Anita. I actually had that very same country quilt panel & made it up into a small quilt with a few little country buttons dotted over it. I had it over a chair for many years & just loved it so much but the red & green faded where I had it in the sun, so it is now just used as a throw-over in our sleepout. Gorgeous colours in it - very country :-)
