Trying to get motivated

Hi there Blog land, I just wanted to let you all know that I am still here and in search of my Mojo.
I just haven't been able to get it together in the sewing/Blogging department lately. I have had some lovely emails/messages from people wondering where I have been and if I am OK. I am OK and really appreciate that you are all looking out for me.......
I have pulled these flannel fabrics out of the bag and started to motivate myself for hopefully a quick finish to get me back on a roll. We will see how I go. I think this will be a nice Autumn snuggle quilt once it is finished. Simple strip piecing because the fabric will be the hero in this one.......
Speaking of Autumn, where did it go?
I am heading outside after I post this to rake up a tonne of gorgeous Autumn leaves.
Take care all of my gorgeous Blog friends.....
Until next time, Happy Stitching

Keep Calm and......



This lot arrived for me from my friernd Sandy Norman....
The keep calm fabric is really cute and I have tried to use it as
 my motto while I am waiting on my house to settle....
WARNING!
 Do not buy a house that is having the block sub divided!!!!!
On the upside I hope to move in the weekend after next....
Would rather it be mine when I moved in though....
I can't help but smile when I look at this cute thread keeper...
Sweet detail on this ribbon....
I wish it would inspire me to sew....
All in time I guess, you can't rush these things....
A big thanks to the lovely Sandy for thinking of me...
Until next time, Happy Stitching

February Traditional Nine Patch



These are the two fabrics that I have used
for my February Nine Patch blocks...... 
The finished block.....
We were supposed to make 12 blocks but then
 Trish emailed and asked us to make 13 so
 a Bakers Dozen it became....
She since has said we have 14 ladies in the group...
So do we now make 14 Trish????
If anyone knows can you please leave a comment....
Here are my 13 blocks bagged up ready to go off to Trish....
Until next time, Happy Stitching

Red Home Tote Bag



I traced the stitchery last night for the 
Tote Bag from Red Home by Natalie Bird.....
Just a little bit done but it felt nice to be stitching....
It is our February project for Stitch-a-long.....
I guess a little bit of something is better than nothing at all....
Back to work tomorrow so February will 
be full on, at least I have made a start....
Better go as I am meeting up with someone special today 
who is passing through Orange...
More on that later.....
Until next time, Happy Stitching

Puzzled



I am a bit puzzled as to where my Mojo has been hiding....
I have just spent the last 5 weeks on holidays and have only 
sewn the thread catcher for the January Stitch-a-long.....
I did manage to do this cute jig saw puzzle that was a bit of fun....
I hope to get back to my old self soon :)
Until next time, Happy Stitching

"Another Birthday and Surprises in the Mail"



It was my Birthday on the 24th and I must admit
 I really didn't feel too much like celebrating,,,,
You see my new little Home is still in the process of settlement 
due to the subdivision of the block and
 quite frankly I am feeling over it!!!!
So imagine my surprise when 5 nice little 
envelopes turned up in my mail box this week....
They were some very unexpected Birthday Gifts
 from some really sweet ladies that I have
 the pleasure of calling my friends......
All containing gorgeous French General fabrics
 and a lovely matching plain for some stitchery....
I am not sure if it was planned between my
 birthday Angels or if they all just think alike.....
Thankyou so much Fiona, Sylvia, Trish, Susan and Anita....
You really put a big smile into my day....
I am not sure what I will be making with these yet but am
 hoping they inspire me to get some stitching done soon....
Random acts of kindness truly are special and all I have to say is
"When you least expect it, Expect it Girls" xxxxx

Until next time, Happy Stitching

First Finish 2013 Stitch-a-long....



My first finish for the 2013 Stitch-a-long is a
 thread catcher basket for the book "Red Home"
Was very quick to make once I got myself motivated.....
I used some fabric that I won as a lucky 
door prize at a retreat in Nowra in 2011.....
So that's half of January finished.....
Now to start on the shoe bag from "SKOW"
Until next time, Happy Stitching
