Patchwork Angel

A SAD TIME.

You may have heard me talk of a group of friends of mine The Bossy Stitchers  affectionately known as the Bossies!

This is a sad week as we say good bye to one of our members who passed away on Tuesday.

Our dear Janet.

The Bossies are a group of 9 women who came together to stitch but as it is with patchworkers we proceeded to stitch together, laugh together, eat together, drink together (sometimes a little too much) and yes we have even cried together.Janet was one of us. She was our friend and we will miss her.

Value your friends you never know how long you will get to share with them.

Keep on Stitching,

Janet recently did a trunk Show at the Buderim Craft Cottage. You can see her quilts HERE and HERE

MEETING ROBYN PANDOLF

It has been ages since I blogged and of course so much has been going on. We have had our Christmas Party in store. Had the Crazy Patchwork Party and last friday night the staff party. How is it we were all having too much fun to take photos!

In November I went to Melbourne to Australian Quilt Market. (also an excuse to see my son Zac, sister Robbie and family) Where I got to meet Robyn Pandolf. My darling sister also called Robyn took the photo for me but it took 3 goes with my new iphone as I had it on video!!! Robyn Pandolf is a lovely gracious lady and clever designer.

 
Caught up with Natalie Bird from the Birdhouse. She has some lovely new designs too including this one below. Natalie is promising to do a Trunk Show for us in the New Year.

This lovely stitchery comes pre printed with the hand painted buttons included.

Order it HERE

We are trying to set up a Facebook business page if anyone is an expert and would like to help we would welcome your advice.!! So if you friend us on facebook and I do it wrong forgive me!!

WAS SHABBY NOW RATHER CHIC!

This I am ashamed to say is my very favorite footstool!

Yes, SHABBY  to say the least. My Mum, Jill found this at a local op shop and it has served us very well. Especially when hubby, Chuck had his knee replacement. BUT, it really was beyond it so I brought home some Moda fabric from the shop and  2 hours later Voila!!!

Think I will now make some cushions to match too!

Oh in this pic Tess our rather old lady ( one of our 3 dogs) decided she should pose with the new footstool!

While on the track of thinking outside the square. I have a canvas above our bed. Every now and then I get sick of the fabric covering it and bring home something new.

Here's the new look canvas.

I think it looks good anyway!

So the moral of this story?

Patchwork fabric is not just for quilts!!

Keep on stitching or covering !

REVERSIBLE PINNY AND THE ADORABLE RUBY

How gorgeous is this little girl Ruby. She comes in to visit us with her mum Renee. Everyone just goos and gaas at her as she is just so charismatic!

Ruby's Mum loves to sew so here is Ruby wearing her REVERSIBLE PINNY.

and here is the reverse. A quick change done by Mum.

Renee has fussy cut and appliqued the other fabric on this side.

Oh, but check out the FRILLY DILLY BLOOMERS too.

Matching of course.
If you would like to share any of your project photos we would love to see them.
