Its up and running..........

I have now started the Christmas Fun blog. For those ladies interested in joining us, pop over HERE.



You can go at your own pace, the challenge is, to have it completed by Christmas 2012... Easy!
Come on..... what are you waiting for?!

We interrupt this programme.....

We interrupt this programme (What's on the Gammill Friday) for some important news. Well, not that important but I just wanted to say that lol! No seriously, I have had no time to play on my Gammill today as I received some BIG packages which needed uploading and cutting for kits. Rouenneries Deux and for a limited time $15 per mt (1/2mt min purchase):

Too much to bare? Maybe one of these GORGEOUS kits here and here....... Simply stunning and such a BIG saving too!

Oh, and Miss Sophie loved all this eye candy:

Yep, Vintage Modern pre-cuts are in the house! WooHoo! Such a gorgeous, GORGEOUS range!

So as you can see, I have been too busy fondling all this goodness.... sorry! :+) But then again, who can blame me!!

flower applique

I have finally got around to finishing my 16 needle turn flowers for my place mats. Because I don't use a hoop as I find I am too slow, I always cut my blocks bigger than needed, then once I have finished appliqueing or stitching, I trim down to size.

Here they all are, all trimmed up ready to piece together:

I have actually sewed the bottom and top row of blocks together, just need to attach them to the applique blocks..... ONE DAY soon! While chatting to my buddie Annie (Hi Annie :+) she tells me she is only having 3 projects of the go at once.... One long term, one very, very quick, and one other. I went on to explain my UFO's.... Not really too many.... Until I started reading them out. Gosh! I came up with 7 and have since counted MORE! Luckily for me, I have no gifts to get done soon, just one swap gift so I can concentrate on getting that pile DOWN!

Want some fun?

Last year I decided to do the Christmas Fun project with Roseanne.... But, it was one of those projects that went on the back burner for a little while, planning to catch up, but never made it to the front line!

So, we made a pact..... It WILL be done by Christmas THIS year, if one of us fails, we have to PAY the other one the cost of their kits! I am NOT giving Roseanne one cent, so have made a start:

And, I know she has too! This is such a good incentive! Anyone interested in a stitch-a-long with us for this project? The only rule for you is finish by Christmas THIS year..... You don't have to pay us if you don't finish lol! Also, I have ONE button pack left of this cute BOM if anyone is interested. Click HERE for details.

Out and about......... AGAIN

Yesterday, I went for a drive to Deloraine to catch up with Vicki, Christine and Christine for lunch. It was such a nice day for a catch up! After a wander around the shops, we decided to stop at the 50's Diner for afternoon coffee (and maybe or maybe not, something sweet!!). I have wanted to stop in here for such a long time but every time I go, its shut! They told us they are closed Monday and Tuesday's. I think I may have been before, but such a long time ago!

Old petrol bowser. They had been restored VERY well!

Old diner style booths. Here are Christine and Vicki waiting to order their coffee's:

Lot of old oil bottles, cans, petrol pumps etc..... Even the ice-cream fridge was made from a car front:

One of my favourite things there..... This bar inside the boot of an old car. Looks great doesn't it?!

Lots of memorabilia:

Thanks girls for lovely company!

What's on the Gammill Friday

Hi! Friday again. How this week has flown!
So, what was today's project. A lovely small quilt by 'C'. The hearts are made from a fancy sewing machine stitch. Very clever:

I should say this is my 'early morning' project as I was out most of the day!



Quilting design: Vines
