Just received 'The Fabric of Society' by Annette Gero & Kim McLean - WOW What a beautiful publication - I'm going to have my head in it over the weekend.
If I pull myself away from my new book I'll start on my redwork cushion swap tomorrow.
It's weigh-in tomorrow - am working up the minutes on the exercise bike - still hard work though.

Block 1 finished
Last night while watching the tennis I finished block 1 of "Breast of Friends", the Homespun BOM. Also cut out pieces for block 2 (it was a long game!). Have just fused them on and will settle down again for another night of great tennis.

Good Week
Yeah - 'Inuk' was found on Monday! Happiness all around.
Lost another 500g this week - must have been all the walking on the weekend looking for the dog.
Bought an exercise bike yesterday - set it up in the loungeroom and aim to use it while watching the news at night. Mind you, I only did 3 minutes last night and was cactus!! Lots of work needed on the exercise fitness methinks.

Lighter than Last Week!
The first weigh-in this morning - and 0.7kg lighter! Pleased with result.
Not a good week - my daughter's beloved Siberian Husky - Inuk - has gone missing. Searched (on foot) for hours yesterday afternoon and today with no results. We've put signs up everywhere around her area and will do some more pounding the footpaths tomorrow.
I've gone BOM mad I think. Decided I'll do the one the mystery Breast of Friends in Homespun. I'll use fabrics I have, so each block will probably have a different background, but I think I'll stick with the pink shades for the rest - I do have quite a stack of reds/pinks/mauves. I'll put up a pic when I get the first block done.

Another new start
Yesterday I joined Weight Watchers - 15kg to get rid of!!!
Unfortunately sitting at a sewing machine doesn't constitute exercise - maybe I should try to get hold of a treadle machine.
It's just as well I've already finished off the Christmas chocolates and nuts.

Boy - what a scorcher it was today!
I work for Guide Dogs Qld, and today I joined Everyday Hero to help raise money for our Pawknock Appeal. This is such a worthwhile cause - please go to www.everydayhero.com.au/june_hamilton to help blind and vision impaired Queenslanders. We also have a new website which is worth a look : http://www.guidedogsqld.com.au/.
Tonight I will do a bit of work on my Cathedral Garden quilt. This is a large version of the cushion I made for my SCQ Mortal, Maree. I only have a few hours work left on applique around the borders.

The Journey Begins
Tuesday, 6 January 2009
Well, I've bitten the bullet and commenced!
Tonight I finished the first block of "The Quilt Show's" BOM, Stars for a New Day by Susan Garman. I love stars and I love medallion quilts, so I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it. I'm going to try to use fabric from my stash - but there may be a need to purchase some extra!!
