Scrub Stitchin' 2026 - Part 2

 

We all received a goodie bag.

The butterfly is a magnet made Janice. 

She knows I love Tilda so she made 

mine in one of the older ranges. 

The name tag is also a book mark and

the orange fabrics were to make a pouch. 

 

Besides working on my hexagons, 

I also made my pouch kit.

The fabrics were Liberty cottons. 

Here you can see the back fabric.

I added to my Tilda 

collection along the way.

 

We had a Make It, Bake It, Fake It swap. 

I received the gift from 

Raewyn (Stitching Farmgirl).

I forgot to take a photo of 

the gift I took to swap.

 

 Unfold the bag and you have a larger bag.

 

Raewyn had added these goodies. 

The blue scissor fob was made 

by Raewyn's mother. 

The stitching is beautiful.

It was so special to receive this. 

 

 I was lucky enough to 

win these fat quarters.

 

 Lots of lovely things.

 

Rosie and Tilly made some new friends.

Luna Lapin and Midge the Terrier.

They were made by Kylie.  

We had a big Show and Tell. 

All of these gnomes were made by Sharmayne.

 There were so many beautiful quilts shown too.

Friday night was our special 

dress-up night and dinner. 

This year's the theme was

 "Your favourite book character".

Sharmayne and I love the 

books by Dilly Court. 

I went as "Tilly True".

Dilly's books are set in the 1800's in London. 

 I bought this book when I was in Scotland 

and fell in love with the author. 

I got Sharmayne hooked too!

I've been slowly collecting the books at 

op shops, book swap places, 

ebay and marketplace. 

I now have 28 of them!

Ursula.

Lady Danbury (Bridgerton) and Paddington.

The Four Wally's! 

These girls came all the way from Utah!

Raewyn flew over from New Zealand. 

Miss Marple.

Noddy and The Gruffalo.

 

Special dinner. 

We even made the Coonamble Times!

We had a fabulous time and

all too soon it was over.

It was sad when the time came 

to say goodbye to everyone. 

Now the long wait for Scrub Stitchin' 2027!

 

But before that I've got to start packing 

for our next adventure.

We're off to Vietnam and Cambodia!

 

Scrub Stitchin' 2026 - Part 1

Rosie, Hector and I headed off the

Monday morning to make our way 

 

to Corowa to pick up 

Sharmayne (Country Fragrance)

for our road trip to Baradine. 

 

We loaded up the car and off we went. 

Rosie, Hector and Tilly 

were very well behaved in the car.

  A thousand kilometres after leaving home, 

 

we arrived at Camp Cypress on

Wednesday around noon.

 

We got ourselves all set up 

butdidn't actually start stitching 

until 9pm because we were too 

busy catching up with everyone!

 

 I started working on a new project.

 Lots of hexagons made with vintage Tilda fabrics.

  

Front and back hexagon 

panels for the pouch. 

 

I finished one side of the pouch. 

 It took me longer than I thought. 

That just may have had something to do 

with all the chatting that went on! 

Sharmayne, Janice, me and Jo. 

As you can see, I was away 

from my stitching spot 

and not working on my hexagons!

  

We enjoyed delicious scones 

made by Chooky's mum.

 

Having fun with Chooky.

Onto Part 2. 

Happy Easter!

Easter Bunny left some goodies for Kade and Ralph.

Then it was time for an Easter egg hunt 

at Uncle Mitch and Auntie Steph's house.

Kade had a wonderful time.

 

  

My bunny collection gets bigger each year!

 

Wishing everyone a very 

Happy Easter.

Better Late Than Never!

This is the first quilt I ever made.  

"Intriguing Illusions, an overnight mystery quilt" 

made back in 1993.

Well, I have finally sewn it's label on!

I have a little bag full of made labels and 

I'm going to try to get the others sewn on too. 

They are mainly for little wall hangings

and were all made back in 1999.

 You can't rush these things!

I don't think I have ever shared my colour wash quilt. 

I named it "Window of Colour".

I made this one back in 1997.

  

It has it's label on now too.

So better late than never!

 I am so bad! LOL!

Playing On The Phone!

  

Nelson was playing on his phone 

and sent this photo. This was from 

when we went to Phillip Island.

Then the fun started!

Then somehow, I have no idea how, 

I managed to do this one.

We all had a good laugh with these.
