Mid October

 Work has been crazy busy the other girl that works in Gunnedah is off so I am covering her clients and mine as well, oh well in a few weeks I'll be complaining that I don't have enough. I just got a second shower at a clients house, she has complained last week that her new tap came off and I didn't believe her and today it came off in my hand, luckily the plumber knocked on the door a moment later to replace the tap.

I bought a new sewing machine it's a Bernina 590 it has the embroidery attachment which I wasn't going to bother with but it was reduced heaps so why not. I took it to my Mudgee getaway with the Coolah Patchwork girls and it took a bit to get used to but I think I love it. I have named it Bernie! and the woman sitting next to me was also Bernie!

 

The house that we stay in is an AirBNB but they have told us that it won't be any longer so we need to find somewhere new.

 

I got three of the quilts that I recently basted quilted and bound in the last couple of weeks so I am chuffed only 20 something more to go! isn't that ridiculous.

 This one is Everything Goes by these clever hands, I started this one a few years ago it is huge 100" by 84"

 

 

 

This is for Francis it's an eye spy bubble quilt, lots of pebble quilting.

This one is Oh My Stars which was a sewalong with Pat Sloan.

 

I started this one at Spring Stitchin and finished the top on the weekend.

I am undergoing a cleanout in my sewing room wish me luck 

 

 

October!

 Hello October! and hello daylight savings. I do like daylight savings but the first week is hard getting up earlier.

The garden is going nuts, not much thanks to me, Dave has been planting and turning dirt, (I helped repot the blueberries! ) and today I will be making a pot of Loquat jam and shelling and freezing some peas not enough for the year but never mind. I had a medical thing in Tamworth last week and Dave had a few hours to kill so he went to Bunnings and got some potted colour which we planted and they are brightening up the flower beds.

I went to the Sydney Quilt Show and had a look around and maybe bought a few things saw a few friends and their quilts then went to Brads to babysit young Francis. 

 

 

 

 

I had a basting day yesterday and my back is sore. I basted 5 quilts ready to quilt.

I got a message from the eldest son yesterday He has been living in his ex's garage to be close to the kids and yesterday a tornado tore through their back yard, shed roof gone, a lot of damage done and the toilet in the lounge room. luckily no one hurt and they were thinking of moving anyway but also no insurance. One of the basted quilts yesterday was for him so I had better get it done.

not much sewing done here lately, I did a class with Coolah Country Patchwork and we made some Lori Holt project bags, I love most things Lori Holt and these are very cute. 

I have a sewing weekend coming up with the Coolah girls and then a weekend in Sydney doing a Workshop with Michelle Marvig which I am looking forward to. 

Thats it for now
