Photos Green Tea Sweet Beans

Good morning, it is not a good day for photography - I can not get the the line to hang this so that you can get a good view and hanging against the window doesn't work as - 1 not enough front light or 2 to much back light.

I did like the flower garden at the bottom

Do you like the combination of the backing? I think it works very well...

On the bed - this may not be the its final home - shh that might be a secret...

GTSB BOM finished...

Great to put the last stitch in place, will get some pics over the next couple of days if our weather is fine enough.

The binding drama was resolved by just joining it all even tho half of the fabric was on the other angle. bloody 45º things...

:)

Ever lose Pins and Needles?

I am normally very careful to try to avoid leaving Pins and Needles in places that will cause effects of injuring others or myself. This afternoon I sat down to do some more of the boarder for the Green Tea and Sweet Beans quilt. I have 2 sides done, working on the third now would be nice to have this completed next weekend as a trip to buy some backing will be in order sooner... any way I digress.

Normally I use the arm of the couch or the pin mouse, first reached to the arm of the couch for them and nope nothing zip ~ not a pin to be found! hmm most strange, OK some new ones from the mouse then, note a pin was in it... not wanting to accuse of the two legged members of the house, that would just not be fair! no not at all...

:)

This was most puzzling until a few minutes later I saw the culprit...

Thief, ever so innocent!

Miss Tigga jumped up to offer her assistance! sitting on the arm of the couch! yes this is like 'The Cat sat on the mat'! Carefully she pulled one pin out.. and spat it out fortunately it landed in my sewing bag, then another and another and so on! I even found a needle with thread beside it on the floor in front of where I sew most evenings...

Although she thought it was a great game... not so sure the sewer in the house...

Update: 07/06/2010 ~ found yet more pins today on the floor that I had missed

Amitié BOM - looking great

There has been a lot of sewing happening over the last 12 months ~ even if this is not reflected on the blog....

Following are some pics of the Block of the month that I have been doing from Amitié in Melbourne. I choose this as a project as it had many very interesting blocks that I can learn how to sew better from.

This is now just missing the boarders which have not arrived, I will of course blog about this and the sneak preview of the XMAS quilt that I must finish for Leigh.
