She was a colleague and friend and we shared our projects both at school and in a quilting group we both went to. Lyn did beautiful work and much of it hand stitching, bobbin lace work to name a couple of crafts. Patchwork and quilting had featured but she was getting more involved when she became ill. She was a very supportive and creative person who had a hearty laugh and was loved by all her students. She was a Australian by birth but after marrying a kiwi she lived many years in the lower South Island of New Zealand.

I thought it went rather nicely with these ornaments that sit near where my mini frame is in the hall.<br />
<br />
Work has been busy and I have not had time to do as much of my sewing as I would like. In October I went to a class where made a Pot of Pansy's. The class was taught by <a href="http://marytransom.co.nz/index.htm">Mary Transom</a> , a New Zealand Quilt artist and tutor,and was most enjoyable.<br />
My Pot of Pansy's isn't finished yet but getting there.<br />

I have had this on the go for a while and it was time to progress it along a bit further.<br />
So I added the sashing between the already made strips of different fabrics. It proved to need care as the sashing was going onto a bias edge so stretching could be a problem.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiSILHSLls3xOlq25uLUqVKBuHyr6GJbsQJqX-iFrN04qWr-JXUmND752tNhZjcvHVbcK5I9iMCf20LT5BBNcismfuHuZNmvCrIEqw36PKbmV_KWyZsRoiQ_E_c_kWihae-GMf1aPW1A/s1600/P1080955.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiSILHSLls3xOlq25uLUqVKBuHyr6GJbsQJqX-iFrN04qWr-JXUmND752tNhZjcvHVbcK5I9iMCf20LT5BBNcismfuHuZNmvCrIEqw36PKbmV_KWyZsRoiQ_E_c_kWihae-GMf1aPW1A/s1600/P1080955.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
I now have to sew a sashing top and bottom before adding a border of "piano keys" which I have created by cutting the leftover strip sets. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEj0FzSzy_thPWTOpbqfWXj8Zhc4rDXZTcqLmowDmU6Q8WgVlt1uGCJr2WgzyY03PAKfZO7o5uplGBV72LqaCh5v0L1Kz8sN35jVbCAXB778hsHi6LxFbpBmD-ZdIWtTJMc_X77pQ9XQ/s1600/P1080958.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEj0FzSzy_thPWTOpbqfWXj8Zhc4rDXZTcqLmowDmU6Q8WgVlt1uGCJr2WgzyY03PAKfZO7o5uplGBV72LqaCh5v0L1Kz8sN35jVbCAXB778hsHi6LxFbpBmD-ZdIWtTJMc_X77pQ9XQ/s1600/P1080958.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will then have a border the same as the sashing before binding. Now that I am back on track I am hoping to get this finished. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am trying to get a few things finished as I am signed up for a challenge found <a href="http://ollieandt.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/a-challenge-or-two-or-three.html">here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a challenge based on this book which arrived in the mail today. </div>

Tucked inside the pouch were these goodies. A stitchery featuring 2 reindeer with 2 cute little wooden buttons to put on it. Also a wooden Santa Christmas ornament to hang on the tree by an Australian designer. The handmade card has some cheeky cockatoo Christmas fabric stuck on the front of it from the next pressie.<br />

Here is the Cockatoo fabric on this gorgeous cushion cover. It gives a real Australian theme to my Christmas in July. Beautifully hand stitched Christmas tree on the front. I had just the right sized cushion inner that I could pop inside.<br />

I have signed up for FNSI and you can find it here on this blog; <a href="http://sugarlanequilts.blogspot.com.au/p/friday-night-sew-in-fnsi.html">Wendy</a><br />
<br />
I haven't been able to participate for a while but I am getting myself organised. I am having trouble as the pattern I am planning to do is in centimetres and all my rulers etc are in inches. (and I have to add seam allowances all around as I go) Even though I deal everyday in Metrics I am having a bit of trouble getting my head around how to cut it out. Perhaps a paper pattern?<br />
It is a kit I bought when I came across to Sydney for the Craft Fair in 2013<br />

Thanks to <a href="http://stitchingcubbyhole.blogspot.com.au/">Cheryll</a> for organising this for us.<br />
It is so long since I have posted on my blog. I have had a wee peep at what others are getting up to from time to time but no posts myself.<br />
I am so inspired by what everyone has been up to.<br />

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">Aurora Australis </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In February this year I went to the supermarket and met a colleague from work. He told me that that night was going to be a good night for the Southern lights or Aurora Australis. I went home and inspired my husband who is a keen photographer to go in search of this phenomenon. We finally settled on a spot along the coast from where we live. He set up his tripod and put on a timer and this is one of the images he got.</div>

It certainly was a thrill to see. Lots of friends were keen to go out but conditions haven't suited quite so much since.</div>

Hopefully it won't be so long next time.</div>

The last few months has been busy with Wedding preparations. My son got married to his long time girlfriend. I am in the process of making a quilt but it had to be put aside in the last week as there were too many things to do to get ready for visitors and also finishing up at school. I decided to make a little mini quilt with the fabrics to be displayed on the day. I was going to make for myself to display at home but now it is a promise to them before they get the real thing. </div>

A chance to catch up with my 4 brothers 3 of whom come from different parts of New Zealand as well as the one from Brisbane. It was a great time of family and friends both new and old. Next time we will have to spend a few more days.<br />

It has been a lovely couple of weeks doing all sorts of crafty things as as well as some gardening when the weather was right. I did go to the Gloria Loughman class but it isn't quite ready to reveal just yet. Although I was busy I don't seem to have much to show that is finished unfortunately. I did finish the items for Michell at the beginning of this time. Also helped a friend to quilt her son's quilt which looked great when she had finished. </div>

I opened them up and went off to a stitching class so hopefully tomorrow night I can show you all a picture of my nearly finished quilt. It is a Gloria Loughman class doing a Luminous landscape.<br />
Looking forward to seeing everyone's post tomorrow.<br />
A great swap thanks, <a href="http://stitchingcubbyhole.blogspot.co.nz/">Cheryll</a> and once again a big thanks to Michelle.Sue2sewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01590073363317041098noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2747713413560196677.post-75197978895028279852013-07-08T20:10:00.001+12:002013-07-08T20:10:31.296+12:00Friday night with friendsHad a good Friday night and Saturday afternoon working on my Christmas in July with <a href="http://stitchingcubbyhole.blogspot.co.nz/">Cheryll</a>. So obviously can't show any photos yet. Only a week to go and then it's posting day. Feeling a lot better now I've made a bit more progress. It will be fun to have the big reveal on the 25th July.<br />
<br />
I also finished quilting and binding the quilt for my friend in the last post. I couriered it away and it was received well. Made it all worthwhile. <br />
