Happy Australia Day

 Goodness me, two posts in two days - however can't go past another of my mini quilts. This one obviously is for Australia Day, it is one of the ones I did at the beginning of my mini quilt journey, so guess you can look forward to many more over this year.

We shall enjoy our day culminating with hamburgers for dinner. Now that has special significance to Peter & I. To everyone else - enjoy your day.

'Til next time

Rudolph Stitching Day

 What is Rudolph Stitching Day you ask? Well, let me tell you. A friend of mine - Laurie -  from our local Ladies Sewing Group made a comment a little while ago about doing a Rudolph Day each month this year - OK I would be in that.

However for us, we will be stitching a Christmas project. Guess it will take the pressure off trying to rush around in November/December to get them done.

So, today, being 25th January I will begin the Christmas project I have chosen. I might add that this project has been hanging around in my project bucket for quite a few years, so this is a good opportunity to get it done.

This tartan and white fabric will become a round table centre. I began today by tracing the design on the white fabric, and all is ready to begin stitching.

Sorry to say the above photo is a bit pale, but I couldn't do the tracing too dark. Now to get to and begin stitching.

'Til next time,

Continuing with Mini Quilts & Hexis

 This year, like all others is flying by and I have been busy getting my projects for this year in order. To begin, here is my next mini quilt.

This one is where I have transposed our map of Australia that I had marked with our travels onto a mini quilt. Quite pleased with how it turned out.

I also have finished another two hexagons that will eventually be part of my quilt.

So now, that is 6 down and 66 still to go - ah, this project will keep me busy for quite a while.

Trust this finds everyone well - look after yourselves and take care.

'Til next time

A NEW YEAR HAS BEGUN

 Oh my gosh, where has the time gone? Yet again I seem to have been slack in my blogging the last few months. However I have decided that this year will be a better one than the last 2. 

So .... I will start off with a posting that I hope to follow up each two weeks throughout the year - my year in mini quilts.

The first one of course has to be Happy New Year

I have decided to focus on just a few projects this year - my days of going full steam ahead are done.

The main on-going project this year will be to make a push to make more of my Hexis that I began last year.

I have another two that are all but completed - coming soon.

A couple of other ideas are floating around my head to be sorted out over the coming weeks.

For now though I shall continue with my stitching,

'Til next time
