A finish

After two days of sitting in a cool room (yay) and stitching away the quilt is finished....I finished the binding and checked it all only to find my stitches had come through on the front in one area, so some unsewing had to be done and then re sewed!! But all is good

Eve had a lovely Christmas tree here, with beautiful traditional decoration

looks amazing doesn't it!!

While watching a marathon session of A Touch of Frost.....(better than being out in the heat!!! ) I have also stitched together another two pin cushions

blogger wants to show you them on their sides!! Will need their stuffing when I get back home.

I am looking forward to the cool change today...hopefully it comes through without causing too much damage. 

Happy sewin ft. 

The wrestling..

...is finished!! Yay!!! Yesterday I put the binding on,still the hand sewing to go but we are nearly there!!!!

happy dance happening here!!!!

Monday I was in Geelong and had a look at the Myer windows...I thought I would have to queue like you do in the city but, no, I was the only person looking

the story the scenes are based on is Russell's Christmas Magic....how can you not love sheep!!!

little sheep asleep outside in the snow...love the little quilts they have!!

so cute!!  And the toothbrush and paste and see the knitting?

Oh oh!! Sants has crashed!! Poor reindeer! Sorry about the reflections, is hard to get a photo without them..

Russell to the rescue!!

Santa is amazed!!!

loved these little birds...

more sheep in quilts....sadly I couldn't find the end of the story..bit I am guessing all ended well!!!  And I probably have enough photos anyway!! Off to sewing at the Seachange Quilters today,

Happy seing.

And so

it continues....I have spent the day wrestling, sewing and pinning...but I am nearly there....seven more pieces to attach on one corner and the a few gaps to fill in on the other end...I can see a faint glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel!!

lots to wrestle!!!

A lady at Port Arlington group suggested I get bike clips to keep the spare fabric rolled up, I haven't found a bike shop but had a look at the quilt shop in Gisborne and found these quilt roll clips....had another wrestle to get them on but they are very useful..and keep the quilt on the table!

This is the wonderful gift I received from Ondrea ...I had a message from her saying maybe I should open the present from her not keep it under the tree ( that I still have to put up!!)..so here it all is..a lovely ginge decoration and some coasters for Christmas.  Thank you Ondrea!!

Off to do some more wrestling!!

Happy sewing.
