Tilda Vintge Indulgence Project #3

The Catherine Bag designed by 

Dawn Hay of Kitty Rose Cottage

from the Tilda Vintage Indulgence box.

I really enjoyed making this bag. 

Was so happy that I managed to get the 

front and back curves sewn to the gusset with 

no puckering in any corner first go. 

Even the lining went together perfectly!

 

Project #4 is well on it's way.

Garden Flowers Table Mat designed by 

Dawn Hay of Kitty Rose Cottage

from the Tilda Vintage Indulgence box.

 

It fits perfectly on the small table I 

have next to my spot on the couch. 

Now onto Project #3!

Tilda Vintage Indulgence Project #1

  

This is the Heather Hexagon Pouch designed by 

Dawn Hay of Kitty Rose Cottage. 

 It is part of the Tilda Vintage Indulgence box.

 

It is quite large, about 8.5" x 15.5" 

so plenty of room to hold lots of things.

I'm keeping this for myself! 

 

Things have been very slow in the sewing front and 

it's been great spending time in my sewing room.

Now onto Project #2! 

A Baby Quilt

I've just realised I haven't shared the baby quilt 

I made for my flower girl's new daughter, Kelsey. 

It is made with Scrumptious by 

Bonnie and Camille and is a smaller 

version of the one I made in 2021. 

I found the backing fabric at Spotlight 

which matched perfectly.

I had been saving the leftover fabric for

 if we ever have a granddaughter. 

Now, of course, if we 

do get a granddaughter, 

any quilt made for her will 

be made from Tilda fabric! LOL!

2026 Vietnam and Cambodia Adventure (Part 3)

Of the 20 people in our group, 

only four of us continued onto 

Seim Reap in Cambodia.

It was great with only four people 

as it was like having a private tour. 

 

Stephen and Christine are from Victoria 

and it turns out we have mutual friends.

We spent a fabulous few hours at Angkor Wat 

and the areas around it.

It's tiring hanging around the temple!

 

 We visited the Wat Tepothivong Memorial Site 

also known as The Killing Fields.

 

 It was very sad reading about everything.

 Apopo, where they train rats to find 

unexploded land mines from the war.

There are still a lot to be found, 

especially in rural areas. 

  

This is Jessie who demonstrated 

how the rats find the mines.

 

 This is Jordan.

 

 Jordan loves sleeping and getting cuddles!

We went to a traditional Cambodian buffet for dinner

and enjoyed an Apsara dance performance.

 For our last night, the four of us 

headed to the famous Pub Street.

There were so many restaurants to choose from. 

We enjoyed another delicious meal.

Cheers to the end of our big adventure!

 

We had the best time. 

Saw so many wonderful things, 

ate the most amazing food 

and met lots of people. 

  

I hope you've enjoyed reading about our trip. 

It is only a snapshot and of course, 

we took hundreds of photos!
