Not much sewing has been happening around here of late. The school holidays have seen us have a trip to Wagga staying with mum, a visit to the Junee licorice factory, some park days, a very chilly 5.8 degree day followed by a few foggy slightly warmer days (only just!), some wonderful catch ups with friends, a tipsy night out, a couple of spewey nights (the boys not me!) and as I said ZERO sewing......nothing like a bit of op shopping to fill the void.
PS: I could show you what the boys have scored in the past few weeks but action figures, batman costumes and gumboots and really not that cute!

These blocks are for Andi for the July Beehive. My first try at a string block and I really loved it. The best thing about this quilting bee is trying many different styles. A year ago I had never even heard of most of these quilting styles. Only three months to go before we have all finished. I might just have to join another one.
I have heard about an edging foot which I am on the hunt for. It will make top stitching edges like this and pocket edges so much neater.
It's been really fun following along with all the members and seeing what fabric combinations they are using. The sewalong runs from 19July to the end of the month. I am yet to make the dress..........think I'll go up a size so it will be perfect for summer.
Rosa was pretty chuffed...............thanks Grandma!
This super cute vintage fabric/doona cover. I'm pretty sure the fabric is old just by looking at the print. It has been sewn into a doona cover using the longest metal zip along the side seam.
And this large wooden toy for Rosa to put her favourite mini Strawberry Shortcake doll in.
Lets just say Rosa scooped this time around!
