Block of the Months

Hi there everyone,
Well we have put the footy celebrations behind us now and it is back to work as usual.
I have been busy doing up Block of the Month Kits as we have had some renewed interested in the Quilted Village.All our BOM can be found on our website.
I have also finished making a couple of bags for the Cancer Council from a Moonshine pattern called The Gipsy Bag.Its a great shopping bag.I have got three different Moonshine Bag patterns and they are all very good instructions to follow.
I have made up the Festive Season table runner up into a kit.This is pictured as work in progress on one of my previous Blog's.
Now I am back to appliqued Teddy Bears on Libby Richardsons new pattern which I should have finished very soon.
Hope you all have a great weekend.Cheers Cheryl

Hatherleigh Eagles

Well not much sewing has been happening this week as it has been a week of celebrations.Congratulations to our local footy team Hatherleigh as they won the A & G grade footy grandfinals on the weekend as well as the B & Under 13 netball.Four out of four not bad.What an exciting weekend. Son Matt played in the B grade final and is pictured above with his medal and the team.It is 22 years since the B grade have won a Grandfinal so they will be celebrating for awhile.I'm so proud of them.Until next week when I will be back to sewing again.

We are really short of numbers for the Lessa Siegele class and may have to cancel so if anyone is still interested in that class please let me know.Cheers Cheryl

Fabrics

The patterns pictured here are Libby Richardsons two new patterns which are just lovely.
The socks have just arrived and they have quilt blocks on them which would make a great gift for a quilter.Hope you are all having a good week. Go the Eagles for the weekend Grand Finals.Cheers Cheryl

This is a new pattern that I made up last week.There are two size bags in the pattern and I also have a good range of glass bead braid to go on them.This pattern is very simple to follow which is great as some bag patterns are very complicated.

Stay tuned for more information on what is happening this week.New Libby Richardson patterns and great new socks with patchwork logos on them.Will get a photo up soon.

Cheers Cheryl

Barra Fishing

Barra Fishing

Hello everyone,
This is all a learning curve for me for today.I have already written this once before and lost it all before I got it posted!!!!
I have been up in Darwin for a few weeks visiting Anj.We had a great time enjoying the warm weather,went swimming with her and had some nice picnics as well as some serious shopping.
I also managed to catch a nice Barra on the Daly River.It was 74cm long so I hope you are all impressed.Beginners luck they tell me.Anj has just enrolled to go to university to study pharmacy so she is hoping she will be excepted and is very excited about it.
Now that I am home in the colder weather again I have been busy knitting some nice warm socks.I am now stocking the Heirloom sock wool in plains,stripes & variagated wool.I also have a great childrens jumper pattern knitted in this wool. I have also ordered some Debbie Bliss knitting books as well as some Wool/cotton yarn.
I have been also busy making a great xmas table runner which I will attempt to put up some pictures of when I work out how to do it.Maybe today,maybe tomorrow,maybe next week!!!
Lessa Siegele will be teaching at the shop on Oct 22nd & 23rd.For those of you who have never done a class with Lessa you are truly missing something as she is a great teacher and a wonderful caring and sharing person.
Will sign off and hopefully get this to work this time.Cheers Cheryl
