Not Ideal

This is not the ideal way to do applique

Last night I joined Wendy and friends world wide for a night of stitching

I decided my Australiana quilt needed state names , so I worked on them Not so easy when the quilt is sewn together, but I managed

Also did a little work on the new border

What do you think?

Today I got to look after this little bloke for the day

He is such a good little boy

Cannot believe he will be 3 months old on Moday

Cake and Candles

I was the lucky winner of Antheas birthday Cake and candles giveaway

Not the best photo but I did love my little sewing kit with some lovely extras in the pockets

Thankyou so much Anthea

I have been along time reader of Antheas Blog

Bloggy friendships really are the best

My friend Mary (no blog) has just finished Michelles Tea cup teddies 

This is a better photo of my goodies

And Now It's April FNWF

Where on earth does the time go?
For FNSI I asked for advice on my Australiana quilt
I have decided to go with an appliqued border of native birds and flowers

Last night I got some applique ready and did a little blanket stitch on one

Thanks everyone for your thoughts

Then I made another snowflake for a friend who gifted me a the green fabric It is sparkly which does not show up in the photo

Today we are going to get some wood

Keeping warm is hard work

I will be back over the weekend to see what every one else got up to
