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!

BIRDS AND BIRTHDAYS!!







This photo taken with flash, the pink fabrics were very pretty.

Hello there!

My latest sewing.....  two round tableclothes with matching serviettes for little Bridget (my Great-Niece).  It is Bridget's birthday tomorrow but today she had a party at a childrens play centre which was lots of fun.    My sister (Bridget's grandmother) asked me to make some cloths for the little round table in Bridget's cubby house.  Naturally I had to go "all out" and put pom pom's around them!!  I also had to refresh my memory on how to do a rolled hem on my Overlocker (Serger) to make the serviettes.  Everything came out very nicely and I'm sure they will get lots of use in the cubby.

Some exciting news!!!   we have another baby Kookaburra!!     Yes, another baby Spike:-)     We knew there must be a baby bird as both Mr and Mrs Spike have been visiting us frequently and begging for more food and then taking it off "somewhere".  Well, this week the baby has finally made its' appearance!!  Cute as!!   I hope the video works above, the little baby bird makes the strangest sounds!

Today I am working on a project for the Tuesday Craft Group - we are using my Go Cutter to cut out Applique shapes and then we will make a little wall hanging or small quilt.   I'm doing some prep work here at home so we have more time on Tuesday to get the shapes ironed on and ready to embroider.

Happy Sewing!!
