No?
Well. Sit down.
I have news.
No, not THAT kind of news.
Gosh, no.
This kind of news….
See this quilt? It’s mine! My own. I finished it. I quilted it and I bound it. For me!!!

Amazing as it seems, I have actually been getting some quilts done for my customers. My super-organised cupboard is filling with pink and green post-it labelled boxes, and deadlines are looming so quilting is going on.

Between having 7 children in my house for 4 days in a row (minding my nieces) and it being school holidays, a 2 day case of the flu and last week of school term festivities, I have been too busy, too tired or too sick to blog.

No visual progress today.
I had only 4 hours sleep last night. I guess I was so excited about my room that I was too mentally alert to sleep. Occasionally I have a really sleepless night, but not too often, fortunately. I feel wiped out today. I went back to Officeworks this morning to exchange the [...]

Day 8 – April Fools Day
Today was my regular patchwork class, so not a thing was done on the quilting room. It was also my oldest sons’ birthday. He turned 12. His dinner request was Fettucine Boscaiola for dinner and a pavlova for dessert. I cooked for him and he enjoyed them both very much. [...]
