Jus wanted to share a photo of a beautiful little Christmas Cake that l just received this morning as well as a bottle of Champayne,
A friend came around to thank me for the help l had given her with her IPad.
Thankyou so much Henie
We will enjoy it while we are sitting beside the river on Chrissy Day
I have just put the finishing touches to a Black Forrest Cake for a customer that used to buy these cakes from me over 10 years ago.
She contacted via Facebook and asked if l would do one for her.
So cake done now l have one more quilt to do and then get the Christmas stuff packed up in the bus and head out of town for Christmas beside the river.
But first l have to be brave and head on down to the supermarket and get some food,
I am so not looking forward to the supermarket shopping, I usally send Shane down there but when he gets home from work today, he's still got some work to do on the bus. So l had better be nice haha
Still have lawns to do, maybe l can do that by torchlight, or maybe the magical faroese might come and do it. YEAH SURE
Bye for now and have a nice Christmas
I finished quilting this banner for a friend today that owns A winery called Wagtail Wines in Taggerty .
I have colored it in with Derwent Inktense pencils after l have quilted it, tomorro l will put the binding on, Looks pretty good if l say so myself. Lol
Wagtail wines Banner
Today I decided to quilt a Banner (quilt) for a friend who owns a vineyard in Taggerty Victoria called Wagtail Wines, hence the reason there was a bottle of red in my studio this afternoon., and no l didn't open it.
I freehand drew the Wagtail Wines lettering and the strange looking Willie Wagtail onto some cream homespun, and started to quilt in black thread,
I am having so much fun doing this quilt,
When I have finished quilting it I will color the words and the wagtail in with black Derwent Intense pencils
I will post a pic in a few days when l have finished it.
Photos of a customers very large Drunkards path with a lovely panto called Ellie's Dragonflys
I have now quilted about 5 of these quilts taught by one of my customers in the local shop, all beginner patchworkers and they have all been wonderful to quilt except one , and l just found out why yesterday. The customer had only gone to the first lesson,.
So if there is anyone around Alexandra wanting to learn how to do patchwork, call in to theAlexandra Drapery and book into a class with Anne Gale.
Below is a Christmas stocking banner tHat l made about 15 years ago.
It has our names on it and pets names as well, and for the past 9 years it has had my son in laws name written on a sticky note and pinned to it, and now he is officially in the family now, l thought l had better embroider his name on peramently.
Welcome to the family Chris
You can see the 50 cent piece , so that gives you an idea of how small these pieces are
