I have been

happily sewing away at home today
the photographer and surfers are sewn on the Aussie Hero quilt

the photos have been attached


I was laying out little white squares to create the look of a film strip...I was talking about this to Tracee last Saturday and another stitcher was listening in, she didn't know what a film strip was!!! She was in her early twenties and boy did I feel old!!!!! 


late this afternoon I finished the sewing on the stars...the first strip on the Christmas Strip quilt challenge from the Seachange group.....we are getting one theme a month until October and then have until December to finish.
Once again today I was sewing happily and was late getting dinner, while it was cooking I ironed down the white squares, so they are ready for sewing tomorrow.
The next challenge is to turn the white fabric into mountains for snowboarding.  Sadly some of the white fabric has a bad dust line which I didn't notice earlier....will have to sort that out tomorrow too.
Happy sewing.
