Weekly Update 21/6

The last stitches were made on Green Tea and Sweet Beans

Ta Da in all its hand quilted glory

And the back

and the fabric I chose for binding

Binding is ready

I've made hexagons, 64 of them for my Amitie Mystery BOM

These girlies turned 14

Their cake, they loved it which is all that matters right

My new mug given to me by an absolutely gorgeous Quilty friend

Blowing out their candles

I've finished 1 hexagon border, only 3 more to go.

The next 2 quilts to be basted, Friends for Christmas and my Scrap Vomit lap quilt

I had to use the boardroom table at the hubster work 

All prepped and ready for me start the hand quilting which will begin as soon as I've finished the binding on Green Tea and Sweet Beans. I'm not using pearle cotton this time, I've chosen to use a verigated brown Signature thread by YLI

Today (Tuesday) I'm taking Miss E and 2 others to referee a PSSA soccer game 1 hr away, the things we do for our kids, Miss E asked was I taking my sewing, I sure am I plan on finishing off Green Tea and Sweet Beans so I can start Friends for Christmas tonight, yay that she allows me to stitch while I watch. 

1 more week of school then it's holiday time, we are heading to Melbourne for a week and we are all looking forward to the break, that means 2 weekends of no soccer, I am so ready for a break from soccer, my feet and hips are so painful after an 8 hour day in the canteen. A hazard of getting older I think, and yes I'm old, the combined ages of my kids is 66 years and 3 months, now that makes me feel old. By the time Imogen finishes year 12 I will have been paying school fees, making lunches and going to parent teacher interviews for 27 years... Which is how old my son will be next year, that's just crazy.
