Wednesday

means sit and sew at St Leonards..I spent my time unsewing as the sewing I did last yesterday was crooked and I had gone off the backing fabric!! I was not a happy camper....just shows me I should not rush things!!!
Mary was working on these colourful blocks, something she has made up

back home work began again on the Aussie Hero quilt

the Supervisor got fed yp following me from the table to the iron and back, so settled nearly under the couch

All done!!!! Yay, butnow I think the bottom is wider than the top and I am a bit concerned when I trim I will cut into the bottom photos!! Wish I could sew in a straight line!!

Lynda gave me a wonderful birthday present today, a great bag, a sewing kit, scissors and two jelly rolls with gorgeous blue batik fabric! Very generous of her! She also made a beautiful hand made card with stitching on it.

I have done some quilting around the gum leaves, just random stuff
a bit of definition around the signed squares..I think I am done for now. 

next job is to try and even it all up and trim..Gulp!!!

the Supervisor says not my job!! Lol!!
I am off to check my dinner,smells good from here!!
Happy sewing.

  1. The Supervisor is adorable! I'm like you, as hard a I try to sew a straight line, it never seems to end up that way.
