Winter sewing and 'Sugar Blossom'

This week I decided to make some heat bags for winter, filled with Australian wheat. They can be used for cold bags too.I made them for our Kindergarten fundraising ladies night we had. We had a ball and the ladies who won them were thrilled. They are so easy to make and I lined them and overstitched so they looked like they were quilted.  All it took was some leftover yummy fabrics and 500gm wheat.

Sugar Blossom

This is just gorgeous and so girly. I love the range and its the latest fabric line from..... Katicupcake...  and if you'd love to have a sample visit Kati's blog for a giveaway... HERE to enter. Please don't forget to mention I told you to visit. Melody told me! I just love the freshness of this range and I can imagine a few things made from it...a bag for me or some skirts for my girls and just maybe a quilt or three... he he.

No I am off to finish a quilt for a friend that I am meandering all over...LOL

Happy stitching

Trouble with blogger?

I am having a problem with blogger like lots of you seem to be as well. If you visit and get this post, I have done it in Live Writer and hoping it works.

I am around, just busy being Mum/Nan...LOL...and have had lots to catch up on sewing wise and am attempting to get some finishes soon. I have seen my little grandson grow in the last few weeks from newborn to little baby boy with personality. He is just so adorable, we love to have lots of cuddles with him. He has put on some weight and is alert much more now. I am hoping to get some more photo's this weekend.  So I will be back with some to show you and some stitching pics too.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and that blogger is not playing up for you too much.

Happy May Day!

What conjures up in your mind when you hear May day...

I always think of the May Day Festival in Cornwall

celebrating the first day of Spring.

 Here in South Australia we are a far cry from Spring.

 It's cold and wet wet wet... and I don't mind...

Wonderful weather for curling up near the fire and sipping hot tea...

 Sewing with a little girl is on the agenda today.

 She has a little bag to finish....so I better be quick.

 Below is Block Five 'Out of the Box' and I love this block...

reminds me of lots of different things..

1. Front door-  Our Home,

2. Spring bulbs getting ready to burst in a few months.

3. Hexagons taught to me by my dear friend Vicki... 

I had not really wanted to make any for a long time 

and now am hooked on them and added pearls as you are a special lady Vicki.

4. Union Jack is my homeland and Australia's stars

added as this is my home now and I love it.

Are you making the stitcheries personal to you... it's not hard to do...

 Block Five of 'Out of the Box' is ready to download HERE

 and don't forget to visit Vicki for her block five too!
