More sewing, still not much studying





Only two exams to go, and the semester is finished! It's been a very tough few months with lots of stress and sickness, but the end is in sight. I've been breaking up the study (a bit too much) with some sewing, and have finished the pillow from Kellie's 'In Spring' pattern. My background quilting is still very messy and uneven, but I'm learning to live with it. It's such a bright, versatile pattern, and I've started the quilt. I've extended it by about a quarter again, so it's going to be a HUGE project and will probably take me the best part of a year. Still, I have had a ball sourcing gorgeous fabrics from all over the world, and am really enjoying laying it all out. The sewing will be a different matter - it'll be a real struggle to stuff it under my domestic sewing machine, but I'll give it a red-hot go.

The boys are very excited to see that the ski season's started with huge snowfalls this year, so we're hoping to hit the slopes sometime soon with Lysh, Dean and Joshie. They're all kitted out, so it should be a great trip. Must get organised.

Bye!
