Busy, busy, busy - but time for pasta

As quickly as you make it - the girls fronted up with their bowls. Also there to help roll the pasta through the machine - here was what was left to dry and use another day. Not a very glamorous picture of me but it does show that I do spend some time in the kitchen covered in flour. Fun, Fun, Fun.

Then when I have proven to the family that I can do some domestics, I couldn't help but layout a bali pop I'd just purchased - just to see the gorgeous range of colours - beautiful and to start imagining what I can do with them. My friend Christine did a lovely green quilt lately with a 60 degree ruler - just loved the affect, take a look at this on her blog. So I got to and started sewing in groups of three...
Then late into the night - cut, cut, cut and of course then the girls helped me with the design

 The girls had a ball playing, it is interesting to see where their talents lead, Ruth definitely has an eye for colour and pattern - Grace just enjoyed the amazing array of shapes and colour to play with.

It was an enjoyable session, and in fact Ruth designed the centre and assisted with the colour placement throughout - I feel so proud of her, I hope she keeps up this interest/talent for patterns and colour.

Here is the final layout - now all I need to do is sew it all together, and get my dining room table back. It's been a long time since I've been able to have the machine out, and not be fiddled with - having more issues with Zoe the cat - wanting to attack the thread or sleep just behind the needle... The quilt will be a double bed size "square" - next will be how to quilt this..

Happy sewing

Jennifer

Two Butterflies for my girls

Well - finally finished. Here are the two butterflies "Blossom - Melly and Me pattern", I finished on retreat a couple of weeks ago. I'm smiling as it is another project finished. I enjoyed making these, the embroidery was fun and choosing the fabric was great - thanks to my friends for sorting me out on this - I think I have enough fabric for a couple more. Thanks Simone for the Image.

Update on life in the Csorba household

Hello all - I am now revisiting this blog 12 months or so down the track after working on my Quilting Guilds blog - check it out, I'm so proud of it considering the amount of time I currently have.

Speaking of my little time waster - here is a photo of her and I - she is so cute - she's about four weeks old here. I'll put a more up to date photo soon as she's now about 19 weeks - doesn't time fly

Love to all, Jennifer
