I had a wonderful Saturday, when my husband took the kids out for over 4 hours and I got half of my Good Fortune quilt quilted up. I had much more success than the first block, although still not perfect, but I had fun quilting whilst watching new episodes of Gossip Girl via Hulu, and took an intermission to go… Read More

April’s Achievements
April was quieter for sure, with a few things ticked off my list, and a few started. Jonathan’s preschool bags went off without a hitch (and he’s still loving it there!). I made this little zippered pouch both as a swap angel and also for Le Challenge. And I won a $20 gift voucher for the Fat Quarter Shop by… Read More
WIP: That Time Of The Month
… The busy, getting-bees-and-BOMs-and-QALs-done-before-the-end-of-the-month time of the month! Especially given the wet and windy weather here this week. Perfect for bunkering down for sewing! This is the first of 4 butterfly blocks for QCA Bee #5. Tracy has asked for 6″ finished butterfly blocks to make a quilt for her daughter. She will be embroidering different uplifting words and phrases… Read More
Good Fortune: Block 1 – The…. Bad and the Ugly
Oh wow. Free motion quilting a big quilt is hard work! I have a small machine, no extension table, not set into the table, nothing. The drag as I’m sewing! I also need to get some gloves as I feel totally out of control. As is clearly evident in the above pictures. I seriously nearly didn’t post these pictures… Read More

WIP: Geometry, My Heart, My Stash
GeometryI’ve been thinking and pondering upon what to enter for this month’s Le Challenge, and the need to make an angel pouch for the Sweet Pouch Swap is the perfect little project to do it for! I’m using some leftover HSTs from my Fat Quarter Shop BOM to play with triangles – probably my favourite geometric design element! I’ve finished… Read More
A Quieter Time
March was insanity. Pure and simple. I had many deadlines to meet, many things to catch up on, and I’m so proud that I made it! I’m a procrastinator by nature, and thus like to run and hide from deadlines. But I didn’t. Well, not enough to have impacted the outcome – all was ticked off by Sunday! To celebrate,… Read More
WIP: What Am I Doing…
Besides getting distracted by cherry blossom season?!! I don’t necessarily plan on joining in for the mid-month check in at A Lovely Year Of Finishes, but for once, given how much is on my month’s plate, I am. Mostly so I can feel accomplished and productive! Must Do: – Two blog hop projects: I am running Having A Starry Time… Read More
Let The FMQ Games Begin!
Whilst in Australia, I bought a generic FMQ foot and crossed my fingers and toes that it would fit and work on Ellie. Hallelujah it did! And thus begun a new obsession… I signed up for Leah Day’s free motion quilting class on Craftsy on a whim – it covers a range of designs and patterns for a beginner and… Read More
