I can't believe it has been 18mths since I last posted, there are lots of reasons but in a nut shell 'life is hectic' for me at the moment but I am really wanting to fit blogging back into my week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I have not blogged about it, I have managed some time for stitching and I do feel that I am a much calmer person once I have spent some time with needle and thread in my hand. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finally finished my Tis the Season (by Natalie Bird) wall hanging just in time for Christmas 2015. </div>

On Friday afternoon I headed to Sydney to met up with my bestie Sam @ a cupful of stitches. We spent Friday night catching up & stitching in the warmth of our motel.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a late night, we were up bright & early to head into the Quilt & Craft show at Glebe Island. We arrived around 8.30am, it was a gorgeous morning & the new venue didn't disappoint. Looking across at the harbour bridge as we climbed the steps was just beautiful.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We wandered around taking it all in and not a single purchase was made - Wow, that is soooooo not like me! <br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>We headed into the quilt show where we thought about what I was going back to buy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was lovely wandering around and I could feel myself becoming excited about getting back to a few projects that I have been neglecting (it has been very quiet on the stitching front here, due to lots of other stuff going on)<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were some really beautiful quilts on display - not all to my own taste in colours or designs but I could see all the love that had gone into each an everyone. I'm sure that they will look amazing in the homes of the owners. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that we had be inspired it was time to go and support the designers & store holders lol </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are my purchases - shhhh don't tell my hubby. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
On Sunday we decided to head back into Darling Harbour to wander around and take in the sights before heading our separate ways.<br />
It was a great weekend full of stitching, laughs & late nights full of catching up.<br />
I can't wait to do it all again soon.<br />
<br />
Until next time<br />
Happy Stitching xox </div>

On Wednesday afternoon it was a mix of emotions as I waved good bye to Chicka as she embarked on the trip of a life time. She is spending the next 2 weeks on a school excursion in JAPAN! </div>

25 students and 4 teachers - I am in awe that they would even attempt it. </div>

Definitely a big difference to few days I spent in Canberra when I was at school. </div>

We visited Kerry's shop on Friday afternoon, its such a cute shop with so many beautiful things. I'm sure we all walked out with a small amount of shopping. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I noticed a beautiful quilt hanging on the wall and whilst speaking with Kerry and her showing how another quilter was making it to me in another colour way -I was sold. It was an original design of Kerry's and she had run out of patterns. </div>
<div align="center">
Hmmmm to purchase or not to purchase - that was the question........ No question really, of course I purchased the pattern and it will be on its way shortly. Can't wait for it to come. </div>
<div align="center">
Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the quilt. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Kerry also showed us a few other quilts that were sitting on the shelf. There were some really beautiful colours and designs. </div>
<div align="center">
One in particular looked amazing, then Kerry mentioned her own flimsy hanging near the French general range. </div>
<div align="center">
Well need I say any more - I just had to have it! </div>
<div align="center">

On Saturday Lynette had quite a few of her quilts hanging around the hall. </div>

A huge part of the fun of GDITC is catching up with friends and making new ones. </div>
<div align="center">
There were two swaps that were being held over the weekend and I managed to organise something for both of them. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Firstly Chooky's swap on Friday night - Make it, Bake it or Fake it</div>
<div align="center">
I faked it and the lovely Kez got my gift. </div>
<div align="center">
It was the first time I had met Kez and we hit it off immediately. </div>

<div align="center">
I received this fantastic light with it's own pretty carry bag from the lovely Janice. </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Looking around at all the lovely gifts, I was feeling so grateful to be in the company of such generous ladies. All the gifts were beautiful and everyone had put so much thought into them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kerry also organised a swap with Lynette sharing a cute little needle case. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was planning on making the needle case but just couldn't manage to get my act together and the instructions did say that we could turn it into anything we liked. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So instead of missing out on the swap I turned my stitchery into this...... </div>

I spent last weekend with my bestie in Nundle. We headed from different parts of NSW & arrived in Nundle at approximately the same time. I was excited to be catching up with Sam again but also looking forward to meeting up with fellow bloggers and friends.</div>

Shez & Cheryll (better know as Dory). We had lots of laughs at dinner on the Friday night - </div>

Hey Dory, can you tell us the one about when you met your hubby??? </div>

Love it - haven't laughed that much for a long time. </div>

Saturday arrived and the anticipation rose as we waited patiently out the front of the hall. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We found our table and these lovely blue boxes were waiting for us. </div>

I did manage to do a bit of stitching as well as socialising - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last weekend saw a quick trip to Sydney to see a much loved friend of my daughters. </div>
<div align="center">
We had a lovely morning wandering around Broadway shops. The girls shopped til they dropped. </div>
<div align="center">
Manicures & Pedicures were high on the list along with trying to find dresses to wear to the upcoming Debutant Ball. </div>
<div align="center">
Lots of laughter throughout the day, it was so nice to see this beautiful girl smiling - she has had a very rough 6 months. </div>

I can not believe it has been 4 months since my last post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its amazing how quickly the weeks are flying by. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been very hectic in my little world but I have managed to find the odd moment to play. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Nephew was born in Jan 2013 and I was on the hunt for a quilt. It took me quite a while to make my decision, Anni Down's cot quilt from 'A Boys Story' was the winner. The decision was made however with work, study and family commitments it has taken me a lot longer than I had hoped. I have changed the layout and have decided to put his name and DOB in the middle block. I have one block to go and hope to get it off to the quilters soon - fingers crossed. </div>

I finished my SKoW quilt at the end of last year 2012. However I wanted the very talented Belinda Betts of Eucalypt Ridge Quilting to do the quilting for me. I had to wait for several moths for her to fit me into her busy schedule. </div>

Believe me when I say the wait was well and truly worth it.</div>

</div>
<div align="center">
Last weekend I spent some quality time with my sewing machine and I managed to complete my August project for the SAL. </div>
<div align="center">
I unfortunately wasn't able to get any template plastic here in the town where I live and by Saturday night I was sooo closed to being finished. </div>
<div align="center">
I often travel with my job, so whilst I was in the small town of Wellington in NSW I popped into the little fabric shop and luckily they had just what I needed. </div>

I completed my June pincushion on the weekend but couldn't share a picture until it had arrived at my dear friend Sam's house. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
June's project was the Natalie Bird's pincushion from the Red Book however a special friend gave me a blue one for Christmas last year, so I didn't need another one.</div>
<div align="center">
Instead of using my pass I decided that I would make the design that was in the Easter addition of the Homespun Magazine here in Australia. It is still very similar to the design in the Red book but with cute little bunnies and a felt bottom. </div>

I feel that I should explain my absence from Blogging Land and the reason for falling a little behind in my SAL projects. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Over the past 18 months I have had to return to studying to keep a job that I have been doing for the past 15 years (in one form or another). As much as I have been proud of my results and was quietly shocked at what I do know, it has really taken up a lot of my time! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I still have 6 months to go however I have just finished a 100 hours of work placement (in a preschool setting), s that just leaves 6 assessments to go - not that I am counting! </div>
<div align="center">
Fingers crossed it will all go smoothly and I get that little piece of paper the government require! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I have a 3 week break now with no assignments due, so I am hoping to catch up on some other UFO's</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Speaking of UFO's - I received my SKoW back from the very talented Belinda Betts almost 3 months ago but just haven't had the time to put on the binding. I am hoping that is all about to change! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Here is a little peak at the exquisite quilting. I just love it and can't wait to be able to use it! </div>

<div align="center">
Friday night I decided to put everything else aside and concentrate on finishing this project. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I decided to make mine smaller because of where I am planning on hanging it.</div>
<div align="center">
Now just a trip to Hatched & Patched is needed to get a hanger.</div>

<div align="center">
Thank you to Chooky for allowing me to re-join the SAL blog
even though my SKoW is still only at the top stage. It's booked into the
quilters in March and with the way this year is already flying, it will be here
before I know it.</div>
<br />
<div align="center">
I managed to complete both of January's projects before the deadline.

My daughter saw the picture in Anni's book and suggested that
I make a small change to the bag to make it more applicable to her needs.
She goggled images for "Ballet Slippers" and decided on this lovely picture.

I used my little thread catcher today and it works a treat! I
can why everyone has made more than one, it was sooo easy. </div>

I've managed to get all my blocks stitched and together for my TTS. I have used Lynette Anderson's range 'Scandinavian Christmas' and it seems that there is very little of this fabric left -anywhere. So I took along my top to Katoomba the other week to see what I could find to match. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
On Friday night we were doing a spot of shopping before the retreat started on the Saturday and guess what I found..... Yeah the red & white heart fabric!!! </div>

I couldn't find anymore of Lynette's rabric's so I settled for this French General. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>

So feeling pretty happy with my purchases, I couldn't wait to get started. But I had to wait a week due to the assignment from my last post. </div>

On Saturday I put on the Red & White hearts, then I had to decide which outer boarder I liked best. </div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
If changed the size of the outer boarder I would have enough of the Red Stars - ahhhh the choices. </div>
