Dream A Little Dream



I call this altar cloth TIL DEATH TO US PART. I see a woman in her wedding car, wearing a ring that joins her in a soul bond. Tell me what you see?



This Fox one is so amazing in person, it's so sparkly with so meanings on so many levels. Someone who connects with dreams and spirit animal of Fox will love this one.



This angel turned out to be spectacular. I wish I could get more of this fabric. I don't really know how they are going to turn out until I make them, and the fabrics are sometimes blink and you miss it.


May Angels be with you tonight.

See you at The Spiritual Co-Op online market (facebook).

When shopping is an event

And 2 days later I wonder why we didn't buy more toilet paper!


And started to think about all the items we usually buy and where they come from, or where the commonly purchased ones come from...


China has pretty much stopped producing stuff, so anything from there will run out soon...

Italy is the next hard hit along with Iran.

Did you see that the coles brand tomato pastes are from China or Italy? So people who usually buy those will move onto the Australian ones and there is going to be a shortage, no matter what you usually buy.

I haven't even thought of the impact on our stitching! I do hope I have enough supplies to keep me going! *Hahahhahaha, what a joke that is!!*

House update

An exciting update for our house... 12 large frames ready to stand up onto the columns by crane.


The house is going to be very high in the air.


We'd best get going to the gym to make ourselves really fit for the stairs. Hahah



A little bit more wet season to go before we can guarantee the machinery won't get bogged in the mud.

Shortages

And suddenly everything changed in Australia, and I should've bought more than 2 packets of toilet paper.

Mystic unicorn


The final quickie panel quilt is finished, these are perfect for the couch or to go over the body on a cold night, as they don't go over the entire bed. 

All 3 children were very excited to use their lap quilts in the air conditioning to watch a movie. (Lovely temperature to cool down in after doing housework).


This one has been quilted in clouds, and once again, I used backing from my stash.


It's been a journey this year! 


11 quilts finished already, and it's the first week in March.

I also have plans to work on the Diamond Hill quilt and the Raven, and a special Easter quilt that I am hoping to have made in time for the Townsville show entires.

Dinosaur quickie


I wish you could see the detail in the panels...

Mum has quilted it in a fern allover pattern.


Backing from my stash.



And that's 2 couch quilts made, with one more to add binding....

Dolphins



Woohoo, the first of the large panel quilts is complete! This one is for Master almost 10. He put it straight on his bed, and snuggled in.

I made one for each of the children with these beautiful beautiful digital print panels....

Mum (Deep Creek Quilting) professionally quilted it for me with large bubbles all over it. Thanks Mum!



And the backing is also gorgeous! And all out of my stash!


I love stitching the labels down before the quilting, then they remain stuck on forever.
