July Goodbye

 Well July is almost doneand Oh My it has been cold especially this last week.

I went to Sydney and stayed with the youngest son at Caringbah, right across from the railway line, and I went to the Sydney Craft Show at Darling Harbour. It was smaller than what it used to be but I saw a lot and caught up with a few people. 

The man from Accuquilt remembered me from last year when I bought my cutting machine from him, and he helped me by carrying it across a park to my car, I was going to catch the carpark shuttle but I missed it so I started lugging it myself. He said his arms were sore for a week haha and he has been telling people all year about this poor woman that he helped he didn't know how she would have got it to the car if he hadn't stepped in. I told him as much as I appreciated his help and still do I would have got there eventually (probably without a box). 

I did a scan n cut workshop and also a Janome M17 workshop. This is the same machine that I used last year and made a book cover, this year it was a fabric bowl

There was a quilt display at the show a lot was a visiting display from the States. This quilt was my favourite from the Quilt NSW display unfortunately the name card and descrition photo didn't turn out, I have been having trouble with my phone.

I spent a bit of money there was a new online shop Hab Fab that had designer metres for $10, $20 for Tula Pink and Kaffe, I unburdened him of a few metres

I really wanted to do the workshop with Kasia Jacquot, I love her folky style embroideries and it has been a long time since I have done this sort of embroidery but she cancelled her workshops and only had a few kits.

CHOOKSHED STITCHERS CHALLENGE 2024

This month was no 1 in the challenge which is my version of Sarah Fiekle's Down the Rabbit Hole. I don't think this will ever get finished, although the next few months of the BOM from 2014? is machine piecing so I like that. I have sewn down most of the flowers and I still have a couple of days to go.

Also I have been needleturning this quilt called Blue Baskets

I have finished to crochet rugs I need to sew in the ends and give them away somewhere, they have been keeping me warm at night

We picked our first Pineapple and it was delicious

That was my month.
