Sleepless nights

Thanks for the welcomes, I hope you don't find this boring as I find new things that I can fill my time with, until the next bout of study happens.

I have finally finished this little friend house, I don't think I will use it for its' original destination though, will give it some thought for future use. Have also started the panel which is associated with this, but the photo didn't work, hence it is not here, maybe when it is completed.

Rosalie Quinlan's "Welcome Friend"

Sleep free nights have pretty much become a common factor in my life over the last few years, but now they are more interesting. I have just finished pinning my quilt front to the backing, ready for me to get the courage to sew together. The pinning was done on the kitchen table, haven't got a dedicated sewing room yet, so have to get creative about how I do some things. Pinning in progress, hope it works

Pinning completed, just hope it works

Well that's it for another day (night). Off to the dentist in am, check on happenings in the face, possible infection (hope not though). Oh well, what will be will be, just get on and deal with it........

Good night all, till next post

Sewing again at last

Have at last finished my assignments, until the next course starts, and have finished the panel for my grand daughters quilt and spent the afternoon pinning it to the backing. I have also finished the stitching for a needlecase, but I don't know if that is what it will end up being yet. Photos will be added soon

I am now sorting through other small projects to see what I will begin next (to work on between quilts). I will be getting the stitching panels ready for 3 more baby quilts, this time with baby patterned materials.

That's all for now

Blessings to all

Freeing up time

At last, am just about to complete and send off my last assignment for the current course. Once that is done, I will have some time to spend on my quilts and stitchery projects. I am really looking forward to that. Stitching will start again tonight, hooray!!!!!

Until next time

Works in progress

Hi again,

Having thought much about this over the last few days, I have decided that I may as well use this tool, even if I am the only one who sees it. The projects I am working on at this time include a quilt for one of my grandchildren, and a small stitchery project from "Rosalie Quinlan" designs. I am going to attempt to add photos of these projects in the various stages of completion. I just need to find the tools to do this. I have just checked out the icons at the top of the page, and guess what? There is an "add photo"icon; how good is that!!!!

Cheers

Claire's quilt

This is my first effort, so not very good at it yet. I hope the future ones will be much better.


Rosalie Quinlin stitchery project "Welcome Home"

A new and exciting venture for me

Well, I seem to be following my younger sister again, but what the heck and who cares. I have been contemplating this for a while, and still don't know what I am doing here. This first note is just to say hi, more will be added as I get some photos of works in progress.

I am not a story writer, and I am not good at putting ideas to paper, but there is always time to learn a new skill. My official studies are coming to an end in one area, and beginning in another area, so I am hoping to have more time to commit to my own leisure and creativity.

I am interested in many things, a few being the use of essential oils, natural soaps and household cleansers, and also natural health products. Quilting is a re-invention of sewing for me. In years gone by, I was an unofficial seamstress, and it was hard to come to terms with buying beautiful material and cutting this up into small pieces, only to sew it back together in a large panel. I have achieved this aim, and am now in the process of making this panel into a baby's quilt. This will be the first one I have made from scratch. The only other quilt I have made, was made from stitching samples from the lessons I received when I purchased my first sewing machine (many years ago). Well this is the end of my first blog, sorry about the lack of photos, I hope to have some for the next time I post on here. I don't know how often that will be yet, but that will get worked out.

Cheers
