Little bit of this and that..


Well, it's a wee bit hard taking pretty and creative photos when it's rather windy and dark outside. And drizzling with rain. Not that I'm complaining about the rain mind you. I'm so grateful for the rain that we have been having lately.

But I wanted to show you all what's been keeping me busy for the past little while. See, I am heading over to Papua in Indonesia in 16 days time (eek!) to deliver the clothes for my Sew Blessed mission. So I have been madly trying to sew as many things as possible, and that has been taking up any and all of my free time.


Once I'm back I'm determined to get back into the swing of sewing quilts again. I have so many designs running through my head that I want to create!

So yes, I'm getting pretty excited about going back to Indonesia, but also pretty nervous and anxious. There just seems so much to do in so little time! I have no idea how I'm going to be ready in time.


Anyway, just to finish off this post with a little something I have been working on (when I needed a slight break from sewing clothes!) I absolutely love the Patisserie range of fabric by Moda, so this little quilt is made using a Turnover, and some co-ordinating fabric for the strips.

As I said, it's a bit windy outside, so excuse the pics, but I just had to share the yumminess. I think I will leave it at this small size, as it will be perfect to hang on the wall of my future dream house. *sigh* Someday!

You certainly have been busy, Sam. Those pretty dresses will bring lots of smiles to the faces of those who receive them. I love the colour/pattern of your quilt, yummy fabrics. I hope you have a wonderful trip, and arrive home safe and sound at the end of your visit. Hugs, sandy.
