Back to the real world.

Arrived back from Sydney last night.  I  dropped the Featherweight off for Neil to service before I start using it.  What a lovely little machine.  I can't wait to have a play.  The show went well - 2 firsts, 1 second and 1 third with the cattle, and got to watch Max play soccer at Newington College yesterday morning, although they lost they were matching it with the favourites.  I also got to stop at Craft Depot!!  Lots of backing fabrics for my baby quilts.  Now to get to Singleton to use my Pfaff Grandquilter to quilt them.

Off to the Show

So excited, I just bought a Singer Featherweight 221K today on ebay.  Was most upset that I missed out on purchasing one on Sunday but I saved $210 on the one I bought today.  Can't wait to pick it up and try it out.  We are off to the Sydney Show in the morning so will get to deliver Zoe and Cooper's quilts.  Hope they like them.

Monday

Well, Zoe's quilt is quilted, Coopers quilt is quilted and bound and the cushion cover has been marked for quilting.  The house is almost tidy and the garden got watered, not weeded.  So nearly met all my goals for the weekend.  My daughter and her boyfriend came home for the weekend so no point in cleaning until after they left late on Sunday.  If only I hadn't run out of black thread (who does that?) and didn't have to make a 4m long curtain for Sydney Show I could have finished everything!  Still not a bad weekend.

Day 1

Okay, I've thought about it, had a look at everyone elses, and now my first post.  I've been setting my goals for my 3 day weekend - first I have to get the housework out of the way, this shouldn't take too long as most has been done just the bathroom and washing the floor to do, second; pin Zoe's quilt, third: draw the quilting design on the fabric for a european pillow cover (white on white), then of course is break out the sewing machine and spend lots of time doing what I love best - the quilting! Then if I get that done, I have to finish weeding the side garden and then I can make a cuddle quilt for Cooper - baby Zoe's big brother - in denim, ready for Sydney Show! Let's see how I go.....
