Perfect Weekend Sewing !

A long weekend at the shack, sewing on the verandah overlooking the lake each day, hot sunny weather and no wind - why oh why did I have to come home !

Each morning by 9am I was sitting with a cuppa and sewing machine ready to sew


I sewed 30 Tasmanian Mug Rugs while enjoying the sunshine


Here they are all finished and ready to go overseas


Why you ask?


My latest obsession - fabric license plates from the Row by Row Experience held each US summer in quilt shops around America and Canada  (oh, how I wish Australian quilt shops would adopt this popular concept)

I found a great swap group and some lovely quilters from many US states have offered to send me a license plate so in return for their generosity, I will send them a little 'Tasmanian' gift in return (the mug rug).


My Paper Mache Vest is also ready to be covered in selvedges.  I have a design in mind but won't draw it onto the vest until it is completely dry and then the gluing begins in earnest  LOL

Thanks for stopping by, happy quilting  !
