It was raining today!!!!!!!!!!

WELL!!!! I wonder how long I can keep these shelves tidy??????????

Here is my new work top there will be some small adjustments made to this, as I need my cutting board a little higher!!!!! And how long can I keep it clear of STUFF!!!!!

LOOK I have found TWO sewing machines now Still have another couple to find!!!!!!!!!!!!
The end you cannot see still has a way to go, lots more sorting and rearranging to do. But a least I can SEW now if I want to YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

Finally found my Sewing Machine

I have joined Free-Motion Quilting Challenge hosted by SewCalGal here is the first challenge design by Frances Moore

I am in the middle of having a MAJOR clean and tidy in my studio. I am only half way through but managed to find the sewing machine today. I have been so excited about trying this, SO here is my first attempt.
I plan to make up a sample sandwich of pale colours and quilt in a darker thread, below is the fabric I have painted for the sample quilt.

Christmas chair decorations

I have been working hard getting these chair decorations finished, I am thinking I will add some gold thread to surround the candle flame. I really need to get some other jobs done first and put up the Christmas tree etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Playing again

Isn't it amazing what you can do to a piece of work 19 years later!!! At the time I thought it looked OK!!!! I do think the quilting improves it and it gave me a chance to PLAY AGAIN!!!!!!!


I think it is time I put my machine away and do some real work!!!!!!!!!!!! Like dusting and polishing Ha Ha I don't have anything to polish thank goodness but I may find some dusting if I look hard enough!!!!!!

I'm on a ROLL

Well I just can't seem to leave this alone. Still having fun!!!!!!!!!! this small piece is 17 inchies square I had to see if I could do free motion feathers in a border and make it fill the space.

Now all I have to do is to add the ribbons to tie the back together. Sorry Dayna you will have to wait until after the quilt club show and tell before you receive your Christmas Tree Skirt............

Christmas Tree Skirt for Dayna

Yesterday I got carried away quilting this Christmas tree skirt, looks like I will be putting feathers on everything ( just joking)

Today I started painting, I have finished the painting I will take another photo when I have bound it. I first will have to hunt out some fabric, plain red I am hoping who knows what I will find in my stash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just having FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paulines quilt finished above!!!!!!!!!

Here is my sampler of Painted Fabric, Free Motion feathers, Free Motion Fillers, Trapunto, Colouring with water soluble crayons and Couching. I have to say this was FUN. I have been just playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
