I love to sew, mainly quilts and bags. I am 66, married to Fred and have one son, Matthew, who is 27. I enjoy embroidery and applique and prefer to machine piece and quilt my projects. I love my vintage Singer sewing machines especially my Featherweight 222K. I’m enjoying treadling on my 201K Singer and I collect Miniature Sewing Machines and currently have three Essex , one Singer 20, one Singer 40, two Vulcan Miniatures and my latest, a Grain. My love of sewing I believe comes from my Grandmother - I still have the drawings she made for me to embroider on tea towels many many years ago!

CHRISTMAS ALL BUTTONED UP!!

I forgot to show you in my previous post today------ I found some great Christmas buttons in Spotlight .... 3 to a card for $4.99... I have already sewn a few onto the Christmas Wallhanging. If you want to see the buttons close up, I have put them on my gallery.

Some of the gold stars have fallen off! I have had them for years so I guess the "glue" may have worn off by now! As I have a large bag of them, I'll just iron some more on:-)

Happy Sewing!

TEDDY CAN SEE!!! AND IT'S RAINING!!!!!!



Yes, found time today to stitch the details on poor old Ted and went shopping for the ric-rac for the Gingerbread Man and have just finished stitching it on. He's a very happy Gingerbread Man!!!

Tomorrow I hope to get to work on the Poppy quilt plus I can now pin the Wonder-Cut ruler Star quilt as I found a great piece of backing fabric in my stash. Of course, I should piece the top of the Christmas Wall-hanging as well but the Poppy quilt must take priority at present as I really want to have it all finished well before November 11th.

I should get lots of sewing done tomorrow as it is RAINING, yes you read right... RAINING ... in Queensland!! Our Dams have received quite a lot of rain today and we are now getting quite steady rain here - rain on the roof.... what a beautiful sound!!

Happy Sewing!
