A Lovely Afternoon!

Today Mel and I met Kaye from Kitten Stitching. The plan was to meet at a lovely stitchery store and then have lunch. Unfortunately our plans went awry when Kaye's car wouldn't start (it ended up having to be towed to the car depot). Kaye doesn't live too far from where we were meeting, so Mel and I headed over to her place (getting lost on the way! LOL!). Kaye whipped some soup and quiche out of the freezer and while she was getting lunch ready, 
we got to know each other.
Kaye had a gift for each of us. A bundle of fat quarters, along with scissors and a scissor keep that she had made. Mine is the pink bundle on the left.

Thank you for a lovely afternoon Kaye. It was lovely getting to know you. Mel and I both enjoyed our afternoon spent with you (which went very quickly). Hopefully, we'll make it to Lazy Daisy next time!

June OPAM!

 Only a small total of four projects for this month.
The four covered hangers I made for our 
Mill Rosie Blue Swap.

I have several other projects finished but as they are for swaps, I can't count them in yet.

Some Lovely Mail and a Peek or Two!

This week two squishy packages arrived over two days. It was the first deliveries of my Fat Quarter Shop's 
2013 Designer Mystery BOM! 
The first package was the finishing kit. I was kept in suspense for an extra day until Block 1 arrived.
The fabric range is Avalon and is just lovely. We have such a full weekend that I won't get a chance to start cutting until next week. But as it's now school holidays 
I'll hopefully get to it very soon.
 Thought I'd tease you with another couple of sneak peeks!
Hope you're all having a lovely weekend and 
getting some stitching done.

Just Because!

A lovely surprise arrived in the mail for me yesterday. It was a "Just Because" gift from Bev of Kainga Happenings
Thank you so much, Bev. It is now hanging on my 
sewing room door.

What I've Been Up To!

Secret sewing, of course! 
So only sneak peeks for you. LOL!
 A bit of stitchery.
A bit of quilting.
And some more stitching!
