Purple Rocks!

Today was the day for Purple - purple fabric postcards that is....

My apologies for the poor photo quality - my camera is charging (after we finally found the charger) so these were taken on my phone.

My dyes arrived from Dharma Trading today - Thanks Dharma for the super fast service!  Can't wait to dye some more fabric with my friend Jesse!

Today the girls in my Thursday class finished off their bags and we started cutting out the patterns for their new projects.

Seeing their faces when the bags were finally finished......priceless!

Happy Quilting

Bad mood blues

It's Official!

Yes, I was officially in a bad mood yesterday afternoon!

My day started off ok and then I decided to get a haircut (not my favourite thing) and then do some clothes shopping (definitely NOT my favourite thing!)

Needless to say I came home with very little (except frustration)  and forgot to buy some more ribbon which I needed.....

Solution:  Dive into the sewing room and make some more fabric postcards and Christmas Tags:

Ahh that's much better!

Christmas Cards galore!

Yippee, today I spent the day back in the sewing room.  It seems like ages since I have done any sewing althought it is only 2 weeks.  It time to start thinking about Christmas  and Christmas cards:

7 Cards in one day, I was "smokin" today!

I started on a new roll of fusible web today that I bought online (wonder under) and I had nothing but problems with it.  I've used fusibles for years now and never had any issues until today.  The backing just wouldn't peel away nicely and then it started to bubble the fabric.  Grrr. 

It had better behave tomorrow or I'm throwing it in the bin and heading off to spotlight!

Today I've also been in contact with the British Club who are holding a quilt challenge in November and I have booked a table where I can sell my cards and hand dyed fabric.

See you there!

Happy Quilting!
