Some in, Some out, All good!

 I have a change to my stash report!  

Yay! It has been a slow start this 

year but I finally have another finish. 

Surprisingly , it looks a lot like the 

last one only larger!!


This twin pink quilt is destined for 

the Zebra foundation . It has a Hobbs 

80/20 bat with an up cycled 

sheet (wrong size for the spare bed)  

on the back in wonderful soft and happy colours. 

Oh look, a bit of orange there too!



The quilting follows the edges of the colour bars

of the courthouse step blocks and I machine bound

all this pink delight with a scrappy binding. 



Finishing out at 64 x 72 inched it makes a nice twin. 

That brings my totals up to:

Who's in a Bind?

 Wow, finally lots of binding going on here!  

This is what I ended up with after a busy few days, 

hiding from the smoke and sewing into the wee  hours. 

First scary pictures of smoke and fire, yikes. 





 Rest assured, the cows are safe! 

Now a happy picture of quilts with binding ready to 

sew from Friday night!!Woot woot! 



Four , count'em, four quilts to bind! 

Friday Night Sew In, I made up four sets of 

binding and solved 2 mysteries with some cute 

Aussie detectives!  Saturday morning, I virtually

stitched on one complete binding with a group from 

all over at  The Idiot Quilter's pop up online sew day!

Lots of stitching and lots of fun!  They started up at 6 my time

and had a little lie in and joined them just after 7am. 

 It was fun and surprisingly, 

I finished the entire binding on a twin sized pink quilt. Yay! 


Look at this killer corner!  My sewjo was on!


We chatted about subscription boxes during the sew day and 

a few good ideas came up. One in progress, trading by mail, is 

selling unwanted or " just not my style" fabric or swapping 

with a group , reasonable pricing and 

great fun getting packages in the mail. 

The other, (my suggestion) just sending your UFOs

 out to people and hope they return them finished! 

What, no takers, so disappointing!

Any way, a fun morning before we went out into the smoke and 

helped some of our kids plant a garden.
