Lucky me is on holidays (for another 4 days). We went to Alexandra Headlands for a week, which is just over an hours drive. It was nice to get away to the beach and we enjoyed some sunny days.
We had a great time.
And after a visit to Eumundi Markets and our favourite costume stall [...]

Chaletgirl sheepishly sent me an email asking if I would “please please” join her block swap. She was worried that I would be the only one. I replied before looking at her blog to see that I has already been signed up and there was already a lot of interest.

I feel like I have been making this little quilt forever.
I had the top finished early september. But I couldn’t figure out what binding to use and hesitated basting it.

I have just been looking back at Sheridan (aka Chaletgirl) and my posts on this Joint Quilt project. We decided on the pattern and fabric mid March 2007 and it wasn’t until May that we started making the blocks. I can’t believe that this quilt has been a WIP for a whole year [...]

Did you have one of these as a kid?
I remember that me and my sister had one. My mum made it out of old sheets I think. Florals, Purples and Oranges – the best 70’s stuff you could imagine. I loved playing in it. It is one of the few memories [...]

Packages, parcels and envelopes were arriving daily. Most of my birthday shopping spree finally showed up on my door step.
All of the fabric here is from Z&S. I love the way they package their fabrics – all tied nicely with a little bow.
I got a 6 yards of Prints Charming, red Follow [...]
