Treadles no more...

We met a friend for coffee at the Barnyard (a great place for kids...). While sitting chatting I noticed that some of the tables had had a previous (more interesting) life.

I felt a little sad, but they were very pretty...

My Mother's Hexagons

My mother made this hexagon quilt many years ago from scraps a friend gave her. Not one fabric is used twice. I love it. Whenever I stay at my Mom's house I sleep under it...


Here's the back, perhaps you can see the quilting (handquilted fairly sparsely. - Please ignore the grumpy quilthanger LOL)



And in one of my Mother's drawers I found this old game. I don't remember ever playing it, but it looks quite cute.

Picture problems...

Trying again...

Apologies for no posts, but we are in an internet void here. I'm just trying to figure out how to do a post direct from an email so the next few posts may be different...

Just to say, I miss reading everyone's blogs. I also miss sewing because by the time we have entertained the boys for the day in the heat, I'm too tired to sew... but hey, I'm on holiday and the sun is shining and the boys are growing so we're doing as much with them as we can. This involves copius trips to the Aquarium, the beach, play areas etc etc. All in over 30 degrees centigrade heat.

Keep well and look after yourselves!!

ps Sharon, I think I'll need to join 'loser Monday' when I get back because I'm eating far too much of all the yummy food here!
