Volkswagen label

I'm making a bag for mum for her birthday. Here's the label. We had a Volkswagen camper van way back. I'm using my first attempt at paper pieced block of the month stars.

Andrew loves rock climbing

Andrew climbed to the top of just about every rock we saw. Just because he can. 

Bush walking

We went for 9 km bush walk today. It was wonderful watching the boys in front of us. We explored shacks that date  back to the 1800s. 

Aargh!

I asked Ben to give me his iPod last night before bed.

He was away for a bit then put this down on my sewing table upside down.

I happened to turn it over. A creative use of rocks to give the iPod the right heaviness. That boy. 13 now and drives me crazy sometimes.

Backing

Here's the backing I'm piecing for my #xplusalong quilt. I'm using my precious glamping layer cake. I'm also using all the tiny triangle off cuts from the quilt to make inch squares for the teeth around each glamping square.

Glamping range

Loving working with this glamping range. It's so camp (excuse the pun!) and over the top!!

Close up

Ben puts a lot of detail into his signs and books.

He often adds copyright details.

Ben's door

I do love that Ben still writes notes for his door. He's set up a gym "jim" program in his room.

We go in one by one. He lolls back on his bed and gets us to do push ups and sit ups and more till failure. Then he kicks us out of his room and waits for the next sucker!

New quilt

I love the new quilt I've picked up from the quilter.

have a few little scraps of fabric left. I'll be using them for the binding.

Art gallery fabric

I made this quilt using a jelly roll of gorgeous art gallery fabric. I've picked it up from the quilter, Helen.

She has done such a great job.
