Well Hello There!

I'm so sorry for not posting for almost 1 month but work, life, renovations, uni and exams took over the month of June. When I reflect on the last few months, it's been rather hectic, uni has been great and I've received top marks for all my assignments, just waiting for the exam results and fingers crossed I've done well there too. Then to top it all off I got a promotion at work, I'm now part of management, not sure if that's a good or a bad thing, could mean lots more work but I'll tackle it head on like I do most things.

My stitching mojo is a bit slow recovering however I have managed to complete my first block for Carpe Dieum...it's my first attempt at raw edge machine applique.

I bought the kit from Esmes, it's very bright and cheery!

Something else that has distracted me lately is this trilogy

Everyone I know including myself have loved this series, it's not your typical mills and boon type novel, it's much hotter! I was a bit sad when I finished the last book, now I have to find something just as good...any suggestions?

Assignments are interfering with Stitching!

It seems I never have enough time for stitching lately, possibly because I have assignments to do. I just finish one and then another lands in my lap and they're never small assignments. I'm no accountant but I have to analyse the financial reports of an ASX listed company over 3 consecutive years! So I've had my head in the books giving myself a crash course and I have to complete it in time so I can go to the Launceston Craft Show in two weeks. Plus there's another round of workshops in between.

Anyway I know you haven't come here to listen to me moaning about my workload so I'll leave you with a little pick of the next quilt I was preparing before these assignments took over.

Doesn't this look sweet? It's from a quilt called Carpe Dieum and is available from Esmes in a kit. I couldn't resist and neither could another of my quilting allies!
