I promised you a kitchen reveal... Before
I haven't moved totally in yet...Lots of things hidden in boxes around the house!... maybe I don't need them.. since I haven't seen them for 6 months!I had a rather exciting day today...
Susan and Karen from Finders Keepers (our local fabric shop) asked if I'd teach a class.... (after I finished laughing).. I said why not!.... So today was the day...
I had 6 lovely ladies and we did english paper piecing with hexagons.
They enjoyed their day and they are keen to continue... so I guess they got bitten by the hexie bug !!
The project was a cushion...here it is without its insert
When I was hunting through my sewing room looking for EPP samples, I found this old piece I started so many years ago that I had cut out templates from cards... and scrap fabrics from dressmaking.. no patchwork shops or laser cut papers in those days. (I think it was the 70's)
Baby Audrey's quilt is finally finished too...(The colours do look better than the photo..and the little black specks in the centres are bees.)
finally... some farm shots for Chooky
I never get sick of this view... just love it....thats looking towards Narrabri.
This calf has a special nose ring...its a weaning ring and stops her drinking from her mother.
She is one of last years calves.
till next time
keep stitching

Lea well done teaching,those ladies look so happy .Love all your hexies and you live in a beautiful place.xx
ReplyDeleteoops forgot to say how fantastic your new kitchen is,its gorgeous,happy baking.xx
ReplyDeleteWow Lea! Love your kitchen. It is absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the put away stuff. When we moved from Melbourne to the country, there was a lot of stuff that didn't get unpacked. After quite a few months, I donated it to the kids' primary school for their fund raiser. Never missed any of it. We also did a cupboard tidy up and hubby put a whole heap of stuff out the front of our house, which was snapped up pretty quickly.
Hexis are such happy little things. I haven't tried paper piecing, but I have made some flowers using the quarter inch seam. I love your finds from the cupboards - fancy forgetting about them!!! :)
How exciting to be in your new kitchen. It is gorgeous. It looks like you had a great time teaching your little class. Clever you to think of hexi biscuits. Lots of lovely show and tell. I love your view, but it sure is dry.
