Full Steam Ahead...

Well, the holidays have finally come to an end. Two boys back to school today and the big one is back tomorrow. Yay!!! Back to a routine...I love routine....

I am back teaching at All About Sewing on Thursday. I'm really looking forward to seeing all the ladies after my long summer break.

I have been steadily getting samples done for my classes and for the Block of the Month programmes that I am doing this year.

Sabrina is finished and hanging in Southern Cross Needlework at East Maitland. It will be a BOM this year and into the next year

On my bed... look at that stack of quilts over in the corner.... 

She is quite heavily quilted.... this is the most custom quilting I have done on a quilt. It was back breaking...but the finished quilt was totally worth it. 

Every little bit is quilted..... 

I love the circles around the stars.....

Happy Quilting...

Stunning Sabrina....

I have been quilting up a storm... I'm really happy with how this is turning out. I have gone a bit feather crazy. It's been fun to do. It took a while to work out how I was going to quilt it but once I started the creative juices just kept on flowing...

This will have to wait a few days now. The boys are still on holidays and we have a few things planned. Close to home but time with my beautiful boys just the same.

Hope you are having fun whatever you are doing...

Happy quilting
