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!

IN FLANDERS' FIELDS...



Hi everyone!

The Poppy Quilt is ready to be backed and quilted - I think it's turned out o.k. I will go out tomorrow and purchase the backing and hopefully will have it all finished over this coming weekend. I'll post a photo of the finished quilt with label once it's all done. The presentation to the RSL will be on Remembrance Day, November 11th.

Nothing else accomplished this week - I did however go to the Gym twice! Feeling much better for it I must say. Brisbane has been hit with terribly hot weather the past couple of days, therefore sewing was the last thing anyone felt like doing. We have been promised a storm today and tomorrow so that will cool us all down!

A few posts ago I mentioned the wildlife we get on our hill. We seem to have our own Water Dragon as a permanent resident! He just loves our water fountain and the brass figurines which adorn it!! He's not the only Water Dragon either, as I have spotted a smaller one - not sure if it is a baby of the larger one, or perhaps a female! I guess if we find lots of little water dragons soon, we will know!!!



Happy Sewing!
