I'm off to Patchwork class in Papakura today.. I will be working on the 2nd Frangipani Wall Hanging. I have made a start on the satin stitch.... It amazes me how the black stitching just makes the whole thing POP out! I love this technique.

PS love the new wall hanging. What is the black, is that like heavy stitching?
The photo is great! We are fighting the swine flu here- and new photos are not forth coming anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteLove wall hanging as well- wish I was that talented!
It is not like you to only get 1 comment :-).
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a lovely weekend - a whole night to ourselves. I hope you made the most of it, bugger about the alarm going off.
Have a good evening.
haha, Andrew looks hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAm sure people still love you - how could they not :-)

I would like to comment, but I don't know what to say. (speechless, I know its hard to believe, but unless a person's got a spare 24 hours to sit and listen to me dribble on about all the current ups and downs in my life, (which I'm aware people would be snoozing within 15mins, then it doesn't leave me alot to talk about at the moment.
ReplyDeleteUmm,,, what can I say. Well I'm back, alive and well. Weather is lovely. I WONT be moving to Nelson and I'm fine with that decision as I just don't feel like its right for me. (lovely guy, but don't think we are suited long term).
Umm,,, what else. Oh, I'm getting three new lambs later this week. (have to buy some in because my girls all had boys this year, which means I won't have any replacement ewe's for next year. Real pain but fortunately its the first year its ever happened so hope its just a one off. I am getting three wee ones so will be bottle feeding 4 x a day to start with. (arrrrgh, early morning and late night feeds are not my thing. Hope E thinks they are cute enough that she can be responible for them and their feeding requirements. lol
Have a great week.
I do a lot of memes cause it saves me from thinking "what ever will I post about?" You ALWAYS have something worth reading on your blog!
ReplyDeleteI'll try to do better with the commenting, I promise!
Well I wanted to be comment number 7 (as it's my lucky number) ... so was just holding back a little - but how could you think you're boring ... NEVER!!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt ... and the pics are great :)
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Aww can't have you sad!!
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing quilt from the tutor! So pretty.
Don't blame me, Chris! I was on vacation. The first thing I did when I returned? Looked at your blog! (AND if you believe that one, I have a bridge I can sell you - cheap!). Love ya!
ReplyDeleteHa,I love your food for thought up at the top there. SO TRUE!
ReplyDeleteI'm Lael BTW,I found you via Carolyn. It's nice to meet you:)
Hi Chris - It's Labor Day Weekend here in the states. Perhaps a number of us Americans aren't on the computer, but rather at the beach enjoying our last hurrah before school starts. So, perhaps that's your comment dilemma. I noticed you posted quilts, dogs and kids, but no pottery?! Waiting to see your beautiful work! Bobbie
ReplyDeleteLOL poor Andrew! It is a cute picture though!
ReplyDeleteYou? Not get a comment? I'm lucky if I get one! Ha ha. I'm glad you drop by and leave comments on my blog. You are a sunshine, believe it or not! I seriously LOVE that baby quilt. That is so stinking pretty.
ReplyDeleteCOMMENTS CAN MAKE OR BREAK ME ON SOME DAYS....I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND....I NEED TO FEEL THE ♥ OF MY FRIENDS...EVEN IF THEY ARE ALL IN THIS LITTLE BOX....I ♥ ♥ ♥ YOU! YOU ALWAYS MAKE ME SMILE!!!!
