Give and Seek...



Thanks to everyone that gave me a little treasure to stitch onto THE QUILT. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to be creative in a different way.  As I whiled away the hours, often sitting curled up in a sunbeam like a cat, I would smile as I remembered times spent with the person who had given me the treasure I was stitching. Long walks, even longer talks, wining and dining, proper squeezy Ozzie hugs, old friends, newer friends and family, all treasured for the richness you continue to add to my life.

Deciding how to create something from the eclectic bits and pieces I ended up with was a challenge as they did not naturally fit together, but I am happy with the end result.  I learned to NEVER try to make a quilt with a stretchy fabric again, but I do love that purple velvet with its sparkles. The photo makes it look blue but in fact it is deep purple.

If you are a Where's Wally fan you might try to find your little treasure in that not-so-well-focused photo ... Well I was balancing on a chair and leaning over the  quilt stretched out on the floor.  Some contributions will be easily found others have been cut or stitched and disguised, but all are there:  elephant, wombat, spider, worry dolls, angels, shells, bling, flowers, sheep's wool, buttons, lace, ribbon, baby sock and so much more ... except the dam because latex disintegrates, instead I stitched the slogan from it "Dam It, Have Fun"

Thankyou my beautiful friends, I look forward to catching up with you again in a few months.

STAY SPECIAL xxxx
