This & that..................................



First up a finish from The Country Yard 'Sewing Essentials Project' club. This month a pouch for my rotary cutter & a thimble/ thread/ earing keeper thingie.


Next a cushion I made for a friend who is going through a rather tough time at the moment. You will notice from the photo's how different light can change the look of the fabrics.


Trapunto on the front & an all over loopy/paisley for the back.





It is winter here in New Zealand, so it is hard to believe this next photo. They have a divine scent!


This weekend I celebrated my birthday, I got a very special gift, my youngest granddaughter to visit. Here she is helping do the dishes.

  5. Ohhh Leeanne - she is sooo cute - helping with the dishes, look at the concentration :-)
    Your creations are gorgeous, as always, love the quilting on the cushion. You are a much warmer climate up there if you still have those lovely roses blooming.
