A little gift....

Like everyone else, I am busy sewing, but not on anything that I can show.

I love patterns that are so much fun to make that I want to make multiples. This little covered notebook by Anni Downs is one such project. Out of the gift box and off to a friend.


I gave in to temptation last night and bought the downloadable pattern for Brigitte Giblins hexie bag. Now there's a dangerous development - if Hatched & Patched starts that I am in deep trouble. But I am NOT starting the bag until my SSCS is done........

On a very exciting note, there is only one week to go until I'm off to the Stitching Post Retreat at Katoomba with Ann-Marie and Sam.
Enjoying the warm Spring weather and the last of school holidays today. Hope you have a great weekend.

  3. Enjoy your retreat. Can I ask, where do you get the tops for the bag? I may or maynot (looking in to the sky right about now trying to avoid eye contact with the computer!)have purchased that pattern in the last 24 hours ;o)

  9. So... when are you going to start making Hexies then ;o) Honestly I never cease to be amazed by how little self control some folks have... off they go pressing buttons and buying patterns willy nilly... oh heck I'm talking about myself again (and you too of course)!

  11. I smiled when I read your confession about buying the hexie bag pattern.
    I thought it was only a matter of time of time.
    I know it will be beautiful.
