Stop all the SSCS talk.............
I have a huge announcement.................this afternoon I did some free motion quilting (hope that is what it is called)............I decided to have a go can't be that hard...........I have been putting it off for months and months and months............I had brought a darning foot as I needed that but was tooo scared.............
So I made myself a sewing mat............figured I could cover it up if bad by the machine............well prepare yourself...........here is the mat.....(fabric Autumn Journey).....(still to bind but I was too excited)
closer.........
the worst of it............got a bit lost here......
what about this....................maybe I should have had a few wines first..........you know just to relax a little..........it was fun.........definitely need some more practise.....I would sort of get into a pattern then loose it...........
....but do you have any tips to get it a bit smoother.....
We just keep getting more and more storms.............more days stormy then not........this is yesterday.........most crops in the area have had 3-8 inches of rain in the last 10 days...............gone from great to major disaster..........the mozzies came out yesterday afternoon and I am sure they are the size of elephants and they are everywhere............bring on the insect repellant I say even to hang a load of washing out..........they are REALLY BAD........
and just a little while ago we had this storm............distrupted my post while I went to check where the rain was coming in and we ended up with a gutter leaking in one of the rooms...........bugger............1/2 an inch in 15 mins........
Then there was good mail today...........was wondering if the mail men would come with the rain last night but he did thankfully.........with this little parcel from Cheryl G...........
Coasters a pattern and buttons...........thanks heaps............
Also my Fat Quarter Shop BOM and Country Threads............
Finally I have caught up with my bloglines............it has said "0 new posts".............woo hoo...........not seen that since late Sept when things went pear shape.....
......I sent a few parcels off a few weeks ago but not heard if they have arrived............hope they get there soon.........one was my polkadot and ric rac swap..........not that I have received a parcel there either..............maybe I have been forgotten............

Check this out............there is an project in Homespun this month about Louise -Prairie Mouse........check out these tiny incy wincy dolls in beds she has made.........here, here and here............they are amazing...........

More SSCS postings coming up really soon.............just waiting for a few more emails to confirm postage which most should have been today......I need to hear from four 3 girls and the rest seemed to be right to post by today 28 (I have to remember that Oz is early on in the time line around the world).............
Take care..........Chookyblue..............
