Modern World

Blogging!! A word that I heard only recently. I visited several sites and thought what fun it would be. "It's easy!"I am never never going to believe anyone saying that again....unless they went to the same school that I did. Riding a bicycle is easy... well it was when I learnt... they didn't have buttons and levers then. But anything that is multi choice, can be edited, or deleted, or downsized takes a bit more concentration and aptitude. May be it is easier to learn to ride a bike because when you get it wrong you fall off and you hurt yourself. All you do when you click on the wrong button with computers is get horribly more confused.

Anyway... to start this off I have included a recent quilting project.... four red hat cushions.

UFOs

Don't we all have those projects that we started with such enthusism, but they were not completed before the next oppotunity came along to attend another class? And the poor forgotten task was left, semi disclarded, like an old doll that has been superceeded by a new present. But then it is rediscovered at the bottom of the toy/work box, and the thought of finishing it takes over.
I made one quilt of this pattern... the blue on the left...throughly enjoyed making it and started another one. We have refound each other. It is a delightful hand sewn pattern that involves fussy cutting circles, turning them inward with batting and a focus material, stitching then down and then stitching rows togther. I was taught it at a class at NZ Symposium years ago and never regretted the experience. Oh yes... UFOs.. Un Finished Objects.
Must go and do some more stitching therapy.

New at this.

Hi folks,
This is a new project for me. I have heard others speak of 'blogger', the fun, the communication tool, that it is. And I visited a few sites, and thought... it's my time now. Why? you may ask. I want to be able to get more information out there about a fantastic quilting opportunity, about the fun we are having orgainising it, and about the fun that I hope that a great deal of people are going to have when they come here to Norfolk Island in October.
I will get back to you when I have a few photos and feel more conifident with this medium.
