April is over

 Well April certainly went quick, Scrub Stitchin was a great weekend with friends, lots of sewing, chatting, a few drinks and lots of food. Below is a pic of the women from the cabin I was in, minus Chooky.

I got a lot of sewing done, not a lot of photos but never mind. I finished my Springtime quilt top which was my March Chookshed Stitchers Challenge. The blocks are for the scrub stitchin quilt organised by Raewyn and chooky.

 Above is a photo of all the lovely scrub stitchers, does that make us scrubbers?.....

Since getting home I have been sewing everyday like a good non housework person I have made 4 Farmers Wife blocks, the 4th isn't pictured but it is done this was my April Chookshed Challenge to do some foundation paper piecing. It is only a small block but takes ages to sew, for me anyway.

My night sewing is an old EPP project from way back I think around 2017, it's a Hugs and Kisses pattern, certainly not the fabrics I would be using if I made it now.

The garden is going great after a bit of rain and some cooler mornings and nights. we have flowers on the Rosella bushes, I plan to try and make some jam this weekend and the Lilly Pilly and lemon trees going well too
Work is settling down to normal after the public holidays, so all good here Bring on May

 3 more sleeps until Scrub Stitchin, for me anyway.I have things sorted way too many projects but better to have too many than not enough.

I'm back from scrub stitchin, as usual it was a great weekend, wonderful company loads of inspirational women and sewists, heaps of fun chat and friendships forged, and a Show and Tell to rival anyone.

My ususal failing is not take photos on the way over the entire weekend.

                            Farmers wife blocks got out but not done , it was early in the morning and i didn't have my brain with me.
