A New Look

Before

After

A trip to the hairdressers and an impulse decision, the long hair has gone.
This is quite a big step for me as my hair is very course and unruly so the straightener is now my best friend.

What Quilt's on Your Bed?

Lynette Anderson has posed the question - What quilt is on your bed this time of year? Mine is a Home Art special...rather sad as I'm surrounded by beautiful quilting fabric everyday. A bit like a mechanic...

Anyway after looking at the wonderful quilts adorning the beds around the world made me think it is about time I made one for mine.

Free BOM

I just love the fantastic designs from Anne Sutton - Bunny Hill Designs. Anne is offering a free Mystery BOM which is so adorable, I just had to share.

What's new from The Rivendale Collection

With lots of new arrival in the coming weeks, I'm so pleased to give you a seek peek at Sally's new patterns and samples. After a fabric exchange with Sally some months back it is exciting to see the results - simply, Beautiful.

Kits and patterns will be available for purchase in the next few days.

The Stockings were Hung

At least mine will be...

I received this very special Christmas Stocking and Gift Bag from my dear friend Pam,

and inside the gift bag was this wonderful wooden quick unpick.

Every time I use it I'll remember the many laughs Pam and I had at dolly club when I used to make her unpick her wobberly seams.

Thanks Pam, I just love it!!

The last 3 months - Through the Window

It has been 3 months since we opened Homespun and Beautiful in Jimboomba. So I thought I would share our store with you - looking from the outside in.

The last 3 months - Tuesday Girls

Every Tuesday we get together to sit and stitch, mostly we laugh the day away.

Helen and Laurel on their best behaviour.

Teresa and Leona have been hand stitching hexagon quilts.
