Oops & Heirloom Stitches




I know I know I've been slack. Nearly 5 months since I last posted. I promise to try much better.

Wednesday all the girls returned to school and since I had taken the day off I decided to sew for the rest of the day.
The above 2 blocks are the start of a new quilt. I bought this pattern at the International Quilt Festival when I was there in November. It is by Lori Smith who is just a brilliant designer. (I think I bought about 6 of her patterns.) Won't that keep me busy!
Anyway I have started the applique block with the eagle on it and took advantage of the day off to do some piecing. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.
The girls were all keen to start back. S is in Yr 10. C started highschool and T is on her own in primary Yr4. Now that it is Friday they are already pretty tired. Thank goodness it wasn't a full week.
S has gone to the Beautitians for a facial that mum gave her for her birthday. Pretty spoiled. She went a couple of weeks ago for makeup tuition. Couldn't believe how grown up she looked. Definitely not 15.
