Sorry I missed last month but having lost a close friend I wasn’t in any state of mind 😞

We did travel to another state to attend the memorial and I made something for my friends wife & partner of 34 years 🤍

I had a few bandannas left over from a rag quilt I had made for myself a couple of years ago & as my friend’s wife loves everything Indian I used these to make her a lap quilt.

She was happy we went over to condole and reminisce with her and she was very happy with her gift. 💝

REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND 🤍🙏🤍

700kms again today 🤩

Not as many stops as we only left at 8am instead of 5am 🤩

Realised I had left one of my meds at home so a mad scramble to get onto my pharmacist to send me a script and then to find a pharmacy out here to fill it which was a bit hard seeing as all these towns are tiny…. But managed to do all that before 10am so that was a bonus.

Had to try and beat the sun going down as we don’t fancy riding in the dark with trucks bearing down on us from behind and in front … we did that and got to Wudinna by 5:20pm

Places we passed through;

Morgan

Burra

Crystal Brook

Port Augusta

Iron knob

Kimba…. Halfway across Australia 🇦🇺

And then Wudinna 😍

Another 700kms today and we reach our destination and there to stay for two nights meeting all the other riders who do this run every year. A few of our ST club members will be here too.

Happy Friday my friends 🙏♥️🙏

A motorcycle 🏍️ trip

720kms finished yesterday

Here’s to another 657 kms today 🤩

Another wonderful month for ScrapHappiness 🙌

It’s been a very busy month with lots going on but non the less I did get a bit of time to do some sewing 🧵

One of my dear friends had a birthday coming up on the 10th and as she always does a lot for me there was no better way of showing my appreciation than making her something 😍

She loves the colour red and so I made her a quilt to adorn her bed & as there are always scraps left over I then made her a runner to go under the glass of her dressing table and a smaller one to go on her bedside table under her lamp 😊

Oh how I love quilting 💝

Here’s to another month of making stuff and getting so much happiness from it ‼️❣️‼️

And we are back !!! A month seems to fly by!!

Sorry it’s a bit late today but being a Saturday we have been out with friends for https://www.theqtrain.com.au/ The Q Train experience with some friends 😍

This months scraphappy is trying out something new. I bought these cut hexies along with stick on cut pieces and at lazy years quilt fair.

I decided to put them together into a simple place mat for me to use as I please.

I do want to start making miniature place mats and sheets to use for imaginary’House House’ play with my grand daughter as she gets bigger and this was definitely a good start …

I have joined all the pieces with a straight stitch across and am sure it will curl up once I wash it … if it does then I will zigzag over each piece .

As this is the start to various other little pieces and I’m looking forward to using up my scraps for them 😍

Happy sewing my lovlies & will see you again soon 💝

Good morning ❣️

Last week in May and we are almost into the middle of the year!!!

Sunday was a rare day I was home and able to do some sewing 🧵

(No better way to spend the day I say 💛)

The coffee table in front of the TV is 27 years old and I don’t think I will ever get rid of it . I’m lucky I have a handy husband and if the table becomes unstable due to age he will fix it 🤍

This table I bought just after our son was born. The boy is now 28 & is getting married at the end of the year !…. It has been a table that he has sat on … just because 😏… he’s run around it as a game …. Used it to play table tennis 🏓 seeing as he was little, and it has been a battering board for him. All his little toys were banged on it so he could make noise 🥳 Needless to say the table has many many scars and as as these days we pay a lot of money for a “distressed” look I think my table covers that aspect well 🤩

The table is wiped down and a light polish applied each week and now I cover it with my quilted table runners . This would have to be the most used table in the house & I’m taking it with with us when we downsize eventually 🔶

I love looking around my house and seeing things the kids have used over the years and still use when they come over. Life always comes full circle ⭕️ and everything I look at and remember is such a blessing 🟣.

And so …. Another table runner adorns my favourite table in the house 🏡

I’m onto my next project now so see you all soonish 💙

Good morning and happy Monday my friends 🤗

This quilt has been a while in the making 😍

I did have all the panels completed a while ago but had only got round to wadding backing and quilting two panels.

This is the first weekend in the last few months that has been a home based weekend and as the hubster was busy working on his project I sat and completed the third panel on Saturday.

Sunday saw me put the panels together with the QAYG method and it became heavier by the minute 😊

Last but not least the binding went on and instead of hand sewing I machined it in place ….

VOILA 🙌

Another idea is brewing and this time it needs to be ready by 10th July as it’s a birthday gift 🎁… fingers crossed 🤞 I get it done in time 😍

We are back 🥰

Again it’s some scrappy goodness potholders ❤️

My girlfriend loves red …. And she’s always helping me out with various things … easy stuff…. Hard stuff and the best part is she never ever makes me feel like I’m taking advantage.

I guess that’s what friends are and I’m blessed to have her in my life. She’s been a part of my life since school and we lived on the same street. Her birthday is in a couple of months and I’m wanting to make her a quilt but in the meantime I keep making little things as a thank you for her as she loves anything quilted 🤩
