I'm half way done now with my blocks, so this will be a lovely big quilt when it's eventually finished. Every second Wednesday (after the store closes), I meet up with some current and ex-staff members at the store where I work and we all sew our Ice Cream Soda quilts. Some of the ladies are doing EPP, others are hand sewing their projects. One is even machine piecing her blocks. We sit and show our progress. We chat and eat and honestly, don't get a whole lot done, but it's a lot of fun.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpAJyfS4463DBssXXBjQmtrTr7m8b0ALfwS_SyxUd-fSgCBzXt7NkuLSPZPOt9zHd5YwWis0h8UjMHww3Ue7eaSCqvZbnOo4q7fw68moGNCq53-2FXBHpYjmNFuYILjnY_24sd6aTjYRWFq77bP6YskTc2VO-ZILXPqlpTLCsEbyDLFhINC6Z27oiq97A/s4284/ICSQ.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4284" data-original-width="4284" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpAJyfS4463DBssXXBjQmtrTr7m8b0ALfwS_SyxUd-fSgCBzXt7NkuLSPZPOt9zHd5YwWis0h8UjMHww3Ue7eaSCqvZbnOo4q7fw68moGNCq53-2FXBHpYjmNFuYILjnY_24sd6aTjYRWFq77bP6YskTc2VO-ZILXPqlpTLCsEbyDLFhINC6Z27oiq97A/w640-h640/ICSQ.jpg" width="640"></a><span></span></div><a href="https://www.sameliasmum.com/2024/03/curves-ice-cream-soda-and-rainbows.html#more">CONTINUED (Keep Reading) »</a>Anorina @SameliasMumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01210287822137630366noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-32853806149621764842024-02-29T05:00:00.000+11:002024-02-29T05:00:00.241+11:00Aurifil Challenge - February 2024<p>The challenge for Aurifil Artisans for February 2024 was all about upcycling.

The colours and print captured by attention straight away and I had to have it. It's quite a decent size tea towel and great quality fabric. I held it in front of me and thought that it'd be pretty good for an apron.</p><p>The next step was to google how to make one. I found a old tutorial on YouTube by Jenny Doan (Missouri Star) and jumped right in.</p><p>I didn't have cotton tape at home, so I made my next strap / ties (is that the word?) out of a solid fabric from Island Batik which matched the reds in the print beautifully. I even found the most perfect shade of red #2270 in my Aurifil collection to put it together and top stitch.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwgjYb2mp5DH8bhYBeTwHeQZqX2-vLXzr9ljt2KJDL4p8-8BT_hEzN2sYkLZP8qGfPgT2Dl4nVzOZCqkLzkqdVgyfs-Utgiyf27qqmY8rAxhiBc62rhSjpZC7x0f572UHoWwPiYms-a_-Kq3SjmlzpLwphC516WGH-dOAZKtgsUT9T86yMXnY982LYK6A/s5712/TeaTowel%20Apron%204.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5712" data-original-width="4284" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwgjYb2mp5DH8bhYBeTwHeQZqX2-vLXzr9ljt2KJDL4p8-8BT_hEzN2sYkLZP8qGfPgT2Dl4nVzOZCqkLzkqdVgyfs-Utgiyf27qqmY8rAxhiBc62rhSjpZC7x0f572UHoWwPiYms-a_-Kq3SjmlzpLwphC516WGH-dOAZKtgsUT9T86yMXnY982LYK6A/w300-h400/TeaTowel%20Apron%204.JPG" width="300" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDnfN4KEP6PNq2HUDMMKaTbDJGqE6ABIUtJcLo4x2MpEFjtCppRUfElZ9kmJcImHzLQ2zQbwmyYwKVALTc-mtr0Ll-zO6fzFDHIwpokwOnRH7DpECnmeKYAWwp0igI_sbqVMdR4PIVI-R8VAipTNZfHGxnwBB_uQ3MU62HwLOh_Dhnegk2m4Xha-gT-2k/s5712/TeaTowel%20Apron%205.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5712" data-original-width="4284" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDnfN4KEP6PNq2HUDMMKaTbDJGqE6ABIUtJcLo4x2MpEFjtCppRUfElZ9kmJcImHzLQ2zQbwmyYwKVALTc-mtr0Ll-zO6fzFDHIwpokwOnRH7DpECnmeKYAWwp0igI_sbqVMdR4PIVI-R8VAipTNZfHGxnwBB_uQ3MU62HwLOh_Dhnegk2m4Xha-gT-2k/w300-h400/TeaTowel%20Apron%205.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><p>I'm quite pleased with how my upcycle project turned out.

I've always wanted to make a quilt, sewn by hand. Not EPP, but hand stitched pieces. I'm not sure why I've never tried this way to stitching together a quilt. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8f7Xb0ykmXhChRZwZqkJkSlI7JhnnriqcS61U6eysKPHWnHK3jNTTxfCAMewIQzSL-Gnf5tPj0qNP5uVNguqRAJbapUdMVP1BkjUlU_DkqXNUIklc4HXvqteut3aUSkQyQ_U6k7RrGSEE9Z28Vy39kvrR6XExvKJhEW2Bcpw84aTJAK2gcPwOmbHXBKs/s1125/RSC24%20-%20Jan.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8f7Xb0ykmXhChRZwZqkJkSlI7JhnnriqcS61U6eysKPHWnHK3jNTTxfCAMewIQzSL-Gnf5tPj0qNP5uVNguqRAJbapUdMVP1BkjUlU_DkqXNUIklc4HXvqteut3aUSkQyQ_U6k7RrGSEE9Z28Vy39kvrR6XExvKJhEW2Bcpw84aTJAK2gcPwOmbHXBKs/w512-h640/RSC24%20-%20Jan.JPG" width="512" /></a></div><p>I have a big "0" birthday coming up next year and I decided to make a list of "50 things to do before I'm 50". One item on my list is to hand sew a quilt. This ticks off that item quite nicely.</p><p>I used the triangle template from the Ice Cream Soda EPP quilt, which I'm also making at the moment. I've cut out triangles from my scraps, marked the lines and am hand piecing these into hexagon shapes.</p><p>My hope is to make at least four blocks each month, but realistically, I'll probably aim for at least 8-12 in each colour so that I can make some sort of colour wash style quilt at the end of the year.</p><p>So far, so good! I've made another couple of blocks since this picture was taken and have more triangles cut to piece together over the next few days as I find snippets of time. That's one good thing about hand sewing - it can be picked up and put down quite easily. No need to head into the sewing room and turn on the sewing machine... </p><p>What else has been happening around here this past few days? Well I taught a class at work - a group of girls on how to sew a pencil case. It's lined and includes a zipper. They all did very well. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOaDA1wgP0ZxosYQujpxDIXv92SzzLDI7Q_PZCvrCYOqTAHZBLAl-eUSg37Aiuk0gB4PJREnIgGvDwWJ45YZcOseycAZm4_-SNoQfyImdNvYWzKtts4Hg1K9wljDE2kqptpnVSeiqHMAtezuc9a0Xxkbuohg80b3NUWYTIyzwTI0GOUv3Vf-v2Mv89oTY/s5712/Pencil%20Case%20Class%20Jan%2024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5712" data-original-width="4284" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOaDA1wgP0ZxosYQujpxDIXv92SzzLDI7Q_PZCvrCYOqTAHZBLAl-eUSg37Aiuk0gB4PJREnIgGvDwWJ45YZcOseycAZm4_-SNoQfyImdNvYWzKtts4Hg1K9wljDE2kqptpnVSeiqHMAtezuc9a0Xxkbuohg80b3NUWYTIyzwTI0GOUv3Vf-v2Mv89oTY/w480-h640/Pencil%20Case%20Class%20Jan%2024.jpg" width="480" /></a></p><p style="text-align: left;">It's always funny to me that at the start of the class, I tell the kids that they can go around the store and choose any fabric they want. The overwhelmed look that crosses their faces when they see the walls of fabrics, is priceless. </p><p style="text-align: left;">As quilters, we know that choosing the 'right' fabric for a project can take a lot of time. So I give them a 5 minute time limit. They have 5 minutes to go around and choose whichever fabric they want, to create a pencil case to take to school. I've run this class a few times and the fabric choices always surprise me. No Tula, Kaffe or Anna Maria have ever been chosen (which would be my go-to fabrics).</p><p style="text-align: left;">Australia Day was on Friday. We had a BBQ here at home for lunch, which is tradition. Around that, I joined Chooky and the gang for a zoom chat. I popped in and out a few times through the day, but some of the girls stitched for a good 12+ hours! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxxx3kZFDitp1fhk-eMjJnaCv1ZunTIjhTmSkFyOi1eHLUJ4gkls7X2IKKS-q44Rheqc8hHjjrstwlvHCfJFI9Z8NvRnW01PAexLtEjC85k2qTYJflUDhPrhM1_dNe6uXp30a4WkEp2mJJmjOFe_8P6BYcN9VTmpQMW7tZfyhLTIEJNmprLRDafjFMRPo/s2534/Zoom%20Jan%2024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2534" data-original-width="2534" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxxx3kZFDitp1fhk-eMjJnaCv1ZunTIjhTmSkFyOi1eHLUJ4gkls7X2IKKS-q44Rheqc8hHjjrstwlvHCfJFI9Z8NvRnW01PAexLtEjC85k2qTYJflUDhPrhM1_dNe6uXp30a4WkEp2mJJmjOFe_8P6BYcN9VTmpQMW7tZfyhLTIEJNmprLRDafjFMRPo/w400-h400/Zoom%20Jan%2024.jpg" width="400" /></a></p><p>It's always fun to join the zoom chats organised by Chooky.

In saying this, I recently had the pleasure of working with some of the new 8wt thread by Aurifil and it is an absolute delight! Keep an eye out for all of the artisan projects using 8wt thread, in the coming weeks.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I fell in love with 12wt a few years ago when I really got into big stitch hand quilting. It is the thread which I've used on all of my hand quilted quilts for the past few years. Sometimes I even used it for hand embroidery (think quilt labels) or machine stitching for extra delicious texture on a project.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWZuS21yl-4VSAYKx7sxhJkNvnZRTCXhhnL26wU_VnuqyVsV3IQwAl_G8cqiiKNcqdWJVOmusUndevT56TOMuI9jvZeEwaLp72E7-kbBHIbXfxcM2qiDXZJkvqqT8s2h_zBZytgYQWRTf9pM2Szr5g1oyqgbjtWHm8eKUnQdRfsp7TodFNIll02hAIlO0/s5712/Aurifil%20Challenge%20-%20January%202024%207.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4284" data-original-width="5712" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWZuS21yl-4VSAYKx7sxhJkNvnZRTCXhhnL26wU_VnuqyVsV3IQwAl_G8cqiiKNcqdWJVOmusUndevT56TOMuI9jvZeEwaLp72E7-kbBHIbXfxcM2qiDXZJkvqqT8s2h_zBZytgYQWRTf9pM2Szr5g1oyqgbjtWHm8eKUnQdRfsp7TodFNIll02hAIlO0/w467-h350/Aurifil%20Challenge%20-%20January%202024%207.jpg" width="467" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The reasons I love this 12wt thread so much are then easy needle threading, a beautiful range of colours, gorgeous sheen and thread strength.

When I next came in, I saw that it was gone and figured someone (with great taste) saw it and bought it too. </p><p>I love the girls I work with. It was my birthday on Thursday and so at work yesterday, they had a surprise morning tea for me. A couple of girls who weren't rostered on came via the store to go shopping in the mall downstairs and hung around chatting - little did I know that they were waiting for a lull in customers so they could sing happy birthday and we could all eat cake. Did I mention I love the girls I work with?</p><p>Okay, only a short and sweet one from me today as I'm heading to work for only a few hours today.

Gosh, time certainly does fly (although I feel like I say that all the time). So what has been happening around here... not a lot really. Busy over the Christmas and New Year period with family, friends and a little bit of work.</p><p>I think that after all of the year-end deadlines I just needed a little bit of a break. I finished up my last Island Batik ambassador project and decided that I wasn't going to participate again this year. It's a wonderful program with very generous supplies from Island Batik and industry partners, but I wasn't able to contribute as fully as I would have liked. I felt like I was rushing my projects to get finished, rather than have the time that I would have preferred. Who knows, I may apply again next year. It was a lot of fun and the monthly projects were quite diverse and often pushed me out of my comfort zone.</p><p>I am still an Aurifil Artisan and as you know, I love slow sewing and playing with their beautiful thread. Just before Christmas, Aurifil put a memo out to the artisan group about the new 8 weight cotton thread which they will be releasing at Quiltcon in February. The thread collection is a collaboration with Suzy Quilts and we could put our hand up to receive a few spools to "play with" and create a project by the end of January. I was very quick to put my hand up. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJtvg0k3Xd3lgbtNwSGY1UhKI81GmR1BwRd9-5ODNdtijWkUIIofSi_p180_VLwD2evo4nNCR1Dl_btf4woGL8ryY__3bzzuw_Jm86z5NbGGZ497W4D_7N0HTDr4o4u0GYTz7nFRkR2SBufKb4jB-PAkwNAooi7OJm6532OA06a6vaCZItr6JOJ6sWNk/s4096/Aurifil%208wt%20sameliasmum.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4096" data-original-width="3932" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJtvg0k3Xd3lgbtNwSGY1UhKI81GmR1BwRd9-5ODNdtijWkUIIofSi_p180_VLwD2evo4nNCR1Dl_btf4woGL8ryY__3bzzuw_Jm86z5NbGGZ497W4D_7N0HTDr4o4u0GYTz7nFRkR2SBufKb4jB-PAkwNAooi7OJm6532OA06a6vaCZItr6JOJ6sWNk/s320/Aurifil%208wt%20sameliasmum.JPG" width="307" /></a>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRnY5uvTUMiv1JrrxjD18cGRkj_JoNaeCVgL5NIFqFBAD5Ckg86p6YM6DUxhMv_cqsyMqLHIwil6awIRusRLxSQyVpD7VIX5b6AeJeN_INvFXpRx6adZOs3cP1_twS8a6xjLB4MbtTha7Jmn5xXjQxILOahKcpxN7lQZIqXIwu8vzd4XlWC02bgLggzUs/s5712/Aurifil%208wt%20sameliasmum%202.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5712" data-original-width="4284" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRnY5uvTUMiv1JrrxjD18cGRkj_JoNaeCVgL5NIFqFBAD5Ckg86p6YM6DUxhMv_cqsyMqLHIwil6awIRusRLxSQyVpD7VIX5b6AeJeN_INvFXpRx6adZOs3cP1_twS8a6xjLB4MbtTha7Jmn5xXjQxILOahKcpxN7lQZIqXIwu8vzd4XlWC02bgLggzUs/s320/Aurifil%208wt%20sameliasmum%202.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><p>This new thread is lovely quality and sheen, like all Aurifil thread.

<p>I have some classes coming up at work in the next few months and one of them is a curve class.

I purchased the set as a gift to myself for Christmas. I really loved the sample that Jodi made with the pinks/purples and orange centres, so I'm going in that direction and choosing fabrics in these shades to make mine.

They must have received a huge delivery of poinsettia's in Sydney on our boarding day as pots of poinsettia's began to appear around the public areas of the ship.</div><div><br /></div><div>Poinsettia's were my inspiration. I chose a couple of different red print fabrics and created large flowers, positioned and machine appliqued at either end of the table runner. I left the centre part of the runner empty as it's the space where I'll place a decoration.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQVUx-PWpe_jZHH4eBpmKjNUY9xSnOPfsx19gl6TZE0Jv1Th75agrWd9nBa0nA9TLt2Fsok6vtpqBS-uH4e0Q7QJmKtC1ZgzMUoFjp9OPc5wnK8u6NLufec7cHeBp9sHy_bpM2MdpNKasvzrz7uP6fiiOrw_0T4so5FWNQEo295ly5ln_kPK6RCAc2HMg/s5559/IB%20-%20December%202023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5559" data-original-width="4159" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQVUx-PWpe_jZHH4eBpmKjNUY9xSnOPfsx19gl6TZE0Jv1Th75agrWd9nBa0nA9TLt2Fsok6vtpqBS-uH4e0Q7QJmKtC1ZgzMUoFjp9OPc5wnK8u6NLufec7cHeBp9sHy_bpM2MdpNKasvzrz7uP6fiiOrw_0T4so5FWNQEo295ly5ln_kPK6RCAc2HMg/w478-h640/IB%20-%20December%202023.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Before appliqueing the flowers, I sandwiched and quilted the runner using Aurifil 50wt thread in cream.

It's an extra step, but the result is lovely and it helps the fabric to stay where I want it, when the binding is added.

Not a lot of sewing getting done and I don't think it's only lack of time, but also, lack of motivation. When I'd normally have a number of projects on the go that I'd be itching to work on at any given time, I don't really have a project like that right now. Perhaps with Christmas on the way, the sewing slump may finally go away and inspiration will return. Fingers crossed.</p><p>I thought I'd do a little round up of what I've been up to this past month or so as I also seem to have neglected the blog a little bit lately. Not just my blog, but even reading and commenting on blogs has fallen by the wayside. I really must get through this rut.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOCbZ08F9jo3lKBpHGZE7CsHvYB5yxmpX-b5-YoSjcaPL6rWw-Bv1s1eAfk7aQopQ2ks3X-LGlTDW_E8T54HrJS5dh51z1fkdC5JC2JO2OCErLFoG_JoINqfAHoC87z3lfkClD3RSfKGjeowI9qYJ-V6QXZsC-8r8BX4xGrkfEIgbv4WvST74r1gjlBSA/s4032/IMG_5666.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOCbZ08F9jo3lKBpHGZE7CsHvYB5yxmpX-b5-YoSjcaPL6rWw-Bv1s1eAfk7aQopQ2ks3X-LGlTDW_E8T54HrJS5dh51z1fkdC5JC2JO2OCErLFoG_JoINqfAHoC87z3lfkClD3RSfKGjeowI9qYJ-V6QXZsC-8r8BX4xGrkfEIgbv4WvST74r1gjlBSA/w480-h640/IMG_5666.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p>I finished a big quilted/stitched cushion for work.

No school for two weeks, which my kids have always looked forward to and which I love too. After 10/11 weeks of hard work, exams, activities etc, it's nice that they get these fortnight-long breaks a few times through the year.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQPAyQRIN16YL0LeMAjWpLPxvaXqYlIJ96Ub4D4KZlcWSbBrrtXWMAtHAo5MbLhojuawaQZRZPybV7hqwD6Si3R8WwA6wMH8-ktV8RtFYLLLMppFo5yTg97cBaUaFNJnG8668Q-UX-sS4Lvgk0QamydVjJT4fHhsSphEBvvUNZK6ulBxN315J0tA5G3kw/s3144/Pencil%20Cases%20Class.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3144" data-original-width="2687" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQPAyQRIN16YL0LeMAjWpLPxvaXqYlIJ96Ub4D4KZlcWSbBrrtXWMAtHAo5MbLhojuawaQZRZPybV7hqwD6Si3R8WwA6wMH8-ktV8RtFYLLLMppFo5yTg97cBaUaFNJnG8668Q-UX-sS4Lvgk0QamydVjJT4fHhsSphEBvvUNZK6ulBxN315J0tA5G3kw/w546-h640/Pencil%20Cases%20Class.JPG" width="546" /></a></div><p>At Hobbysew, they offer some work shop / classes, designed for kids. Some classes are for little ones (like plaster craft painting) and some are for the older ones (ages 10+). This week, I'm teaching a group of girls how to make pencil cases. It'll be nice that they can learn how to make a pencil case which they can take to school when Term 4 goes back. Plus, there's the hope that they enjoy it so much that they'll want to make more and more and catch that sewing bug that we all caught. Inspiring a new generation of sewers and quilters to find that handmade joy.</p><p>I've created a few samples of pencil cases - some small for just a few pens, a little larger to include more "stuff". I also made a quilted scrappy EPP pencil case - just for fun. I used left over pieces from Ellie Whittaker's new quilting cotton range and then straight-line quilted the panel with a variety of aurifil thread. Personally, I love all of the bright colour and how it turned out.</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkXNXdoQrxZ-Y-tiU6te2dBfcEbwBSqIXAOuse_bVM87Ufa0LIXJ57HeUu0r4q1Ld_zRmOOzMwXJhpy98eZNPTlzljtbLH3G9he9iUEJoCA-XQBT3bHvCksYXe09rTVWSfxi0Ve6D-5NMoJkpavAcii_y-y1UBD1oE62D7e1FkuZkYLSsYbP3ZBqJ3p5k/s3763/Pencil%20Cases%20Class%20EPP%201.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3763" data-original-width="2822" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkXNXdoQrxZ-Y-tiU6te2dBfcEbwBSqIXAOuse_bVM87Ufa0LIXJ57HeUu0r4q1Ld_zRmOOzMwXJhpy98eZNPTlzljtbLH3G9he9iUEJoCA-XQBT3bHvCksYXe09rTVWSfxi0Ve6D-5NMoJkpavAcii_y-y1UBD1oE62D7e1FkuZkYLSsYbP3ZBqJ3p5k/w480-h640/Pencil%20Cases%20Class%20EPP%201.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">EPP Pencil Case - Front</td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcL73H9X-UpMW_E0TExGlfW3XVmyVhzPKk17L_jBJgenr7kos77N0IvZb--LXXIsFbtiXLlZ9TmgKgqMsOo5wMUYDXVTO_VCxrZtUrUacOXQKoDnGiu1A81E-jkJogXLC1BtO6OWWof7fKHjOmLy1kU18QAshPtsaGKm-dAiJe43PhlSt-jmYDQi_ghTg/s4032/Pencil%20Cases%20Class%20EPP%20Back.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcL73H9X-UpMW_E0TExGlfW3XVmyVhzPKk17L_jBJgenr7kos77N0IvZb--LXXIsFbtiXLlZ9TmgKgqMsOo5wMUYDXVTO_VCxrZtUrUacOXQKoDnGiu1A81E-jkJogXLC1BtO6OWWof7fKHjOmLy1kU18QAshPtsaGKm-dAiJe43PhlSt-jmYDQi_ghTg/w640-h480/Pencil%20Cases%20Class%20EPP%20Back.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">EPP Pencil Case - Back</td></tr></tbody></table><p>I have a different class planned for next week - hand stitched felt bookmarks - which will suit a younger group of kids who won't need a sewing machine.

It's nice to have those types of days where you don't have very much planned. </p><p>I started out my day by sending my kids off to their weekend jobs. My son has a drivers licence and car now, so he took his sister and dropped her off at her job before going to his work. My husband is away in San Fran right now, so it was just me and the pets at home.</p><p>I could have done housework - there's always housework that needs to be done - but I didn't. Instead, I put on a pea and ham soup in the slow cooker. It was to be an all day slow cook. The kids and I love this type of soup, but my husband, not so much. We eat things he doesn't like, when he's away on trips. Yes, he's a fussier eater than the rest of us.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSzx0zM9PDmkYLb64nYFCogRe4qOrSUJITbfrd5r-47tMKx23VjHgNtikKrUXEREd-dlRI6lKAZgnK780KOnzgmS9NkwI9AQDStwelAnFKX5YAKi8HbuODibu_AaqtnDdT4H8dEq8jd2UCGFB2PhrNavx4lD50dF9g91DtxPT4EP1HBignRAhVbrbaaiI/s4032/IMG_4285.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="409" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSzx0zM9PDmkYLb64nYFCogRe4qOrSUJITbfrd5r-47tMKx23VjHgNtikKrUXEREd-dlRI6lKAZgnK780KOnzgmS9NkwI9AQDStwelAnFKX5YAKi8HbuODibu_AaqtnDdT4H8dEq8jd2UCGFB2PhrNavx4lD50dF9g91DtxPT4EP1HBignRAhVbrbaaiI/w545-h409/IMG_4285.jpg" width="545" /></a></p><p>With dinner prep done, and the kitchen tidied up, I took myself outside to enjoy the beautiful winter day. I let the dogs out and sat down with tea and some EPP. I'm not sure what these hexies will become just yet, but it's nice to have an EPP project on-the-go again. I do love slow sewing.</p><p>The dogs got bored of being in the garden, so we went into the sewing room, turned on my audio book and sewed up some of my pickle-dish blocks. I currently listening to a book called Red Dust by Fleur McDonald, which I'm enjoying. I listened to another of her books last month and enjoyed that too. Fleur writes mysteries/crime/romance, set in farming country, in rural /outback Australia.</p><p>The afternoon did get busy with a dog walk, grocery shop, picking up my daughter from work, ironing school uniforms and getting ready for the week ahead. Now that dinner is done, I can get back to working on my EPP and watching a little bit of television. I'm working my way through 'The Good Fight'. I'm up to season four and it's getting a little bit weird. Have you seen it?</p><p>I hope you've all had a lovely Sunday too.</p><p><a href="https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/">Joining Kathy Quilts for Slow Stitching Sunday</a>.</p><p>PS: Look at this fabulous mug my husband brought back from Vancouver. It has moose on the inside and is the size of a small bucket.
