Daily happenings

We have been for a walk along the beach most mornings


Everything gets a thorough check!!

I have finished a table runner for Ingrid, made from fabric from Donna's stash.

and a table topper for Jenny in the same fabric, lots of interesting recipes on this fabric.

The willy wagtail came along on or walk one day for a little while.

My helpful supervisor was on hand as I lay out the International Sisters blocks one afternoon

Right on hand!!!

So he had to have a squishy hug!! (Not sure the supervisor was impressed!!)

I made a shopping bag one afternoon this week when I should have been doing something else, the fabric was a remnant from a local store.
I had some happy mail this week

a new pattern book.....like I need another one!! 

And a beautiful bag made from kimono fabric and a postcard from Pamela. We had an email discussion about the lack of snail mail these days and how we both enjoy receiving some. So we decided to do a postcard swap, or an I will surprise you with mail sometime thing. Pamela sure surprised me. Thank you very much Pamela.


I have finished the sewing on this block, now it needs to be mounted on a 10 x 10 inch board. That is the job for today!! But first sadly I have to vaccum......sigh!!!
Off I go!
Happy stitching.
