I haven't been to visit my blog for some time. I've had fun going back over some of my posts, and looking to see who is still blogging. My sewing machine has died and I am thinking it's a great time to work on some smaller hand-stitched projects until it is either repaired or replaced.<br />
<br />
I have also been busy writing, a goal and dream from childhood. So far I have published two novels!! Maybe I will add some links here one day soon.<br />
<br />
In the mean time, I just wanted to let you all know that my online free motion class, The Road to my House is still open along with the journal class. You can find the links on the right-hand side of this blog if you scroll down.<br />
<br />
If you feel like popping in and saying hi, I'd love to hear from you!<br />

They were off to a great start, and even the two girls who said they either hadn't done any free motion stitching, or weren't confident at all were soon sewing like nothing you've ever seen before! </div>

I thought I'd share the journey with you. I was busy making it for two reasons. <div>First, I made a whole quilt using the red flower block pattern and it screamed "Red Poppy" at me. <br><div><br><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP6niTgY9hSSt0yXnBzklAgXj8xgU7Jabv8Y_r2e8MTtmSVe1cPhyphenhyphenMbi_vqgJDgNUpe6pTDeiOwrEMzhebH5DXLSgLEb81tGI4MGy2wItLxU393ZYRMaFPzsTVsQ7P2oa2Ozy7Oc2JoFk/s640/blogger-image-1574542077.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP6niTgY9hSSt0yXnBzklAgXj8xgU7Jabv8Y_r2e8MTtmSVe1cPhyphenhyphenMbi_vqgJDgNUpe6pTDeiOwrEMzhebH5DXLSgLEb81tGI4MGy2wItLxU393ZYRMaFPzsTVsQ7P2oa2Ozy7Oc2JoFk/s640/blogger-image-1574542077.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFcxcQTKM12esPEhMuh4n63C1fOb_NyqlTnAYN2S7kdp3RDW1p2N5dCjssooO-FXM7qPHkNzA54GerUR2SkQFHk1rtgIo7jiczt2CT11o3sn1eOUppPeAIRb5CLe2Iv9xtlgglR69jJqI/s640/blogger-image-2141373927.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFcxcQTKM12esPEhMuh4n63C1fOb_NyqlTnAYN2S7kdp3RDW1p2N5dCjssooO-FXM7qPHkNzA54GerUR2SkQFHk1rtgIo7jiczt2CT11o3sn1eOUppPeAIRb5CLe2Iv9xtlgglR69jJqI/s640/blogger-image-2141373927.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So my friend Trish who owns the local quilt shop and I both decided to make a quilt to be finished in time for ANZAC Day here in New Zealand, April 25th. The quilt had to use the poppy block. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">And secondly, because I have done a lot of reading and research around the Vietnam War for my next novel, I decided to make mine as a way of saying thank you to those men who let me delve into a part of their history that was very contentious. I felt that those soldiers that went to Vietnam have been excluded from much of what should have been bestowed upon them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Trish on the other hand, decided she would make her quilt as a tribute to her grandfather who fought in WW1 and her great uncle who also went to war. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgSViEjWQRhohmvFlK6DQigH_tUJzMeyvxnHeJuczoab-YKEYH7ak2EhExnUXSXo9l0ke-dWMXBzVkc8IUqQpZt7DojCQIt7Nh22r7eI5EKfV3cq9mpX1CGtwZFG82ht3ft40cynhlM_Y/s640/blogger-image-884538687.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgSViEjWQRhohmvFlK6DQigH_tUJzMeyvxnHeJuczoab-YKEYH7ak2EhExnUXSXo9l0ke-dWMXBzVkc8IUqQpZt7DojCQIt7Nh22r7eI5EKfV3cq9mpX1CGtwZFG82ht3ft40cynhlM_Y/s640/blogger-image-884538687.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I decided to take the more traditional quilt path, while Trish decided to be a little more adventurous. She has never made an art quilt before and I thought this would make for the perfect art quilt for her to start with. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM3DxGtI3R7cpljZ789w43dUVuNW-Svi9x64CcTCq8ol3z8TrkMcEOw-dyiIeDZO2MYQD0hLmUhys6sVR8yVsR_2LsyiOQbRJH057sRqmolvy290F4GnEWz9fFa0gF4vuhKcQMpOrBypE/s640/blogger-image--1133963014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM3DxGtI3R7cpljZ789w43dUVuNW-Svi9x64CcTCq8ol3z8TrkMcEOw-dyiIeDZO2MYQD0hLmUhys6sVR8yVsR_2LsyiOQbRJH057sRqmolvy290F4GnEWz9fFa0gF4vuhKcQMpOrBypE/s640/blogger-image--1133963014.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Trish made six flower blocks and used quilters muslin or calico as we know it torn into strips. For mine I decided to use as much thread on the poppy as possible in order to make it as 3D as possible. I used 3 complete rolls plus 4 other colours to build up depth. Once my poppy was finished I then decided to write the names of all the Kiwi soldiers who were either killed or wounded in action. I masked straight lines around the poppy and free motioned the names. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ37J1jmPSA4x1rpb042oB-4zAo-N2NW1LOEvzE0PjKnhJlfeM7khigxb6nAz4mXS4-3UoetrYuCGGeUnPRlUOliyTq8cgLkrTuO5IA0L9McR625K00TwMaHVG5IxHNX1dx26QBmDGMjo/s640/blogger-image-712672822.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ37J1jmPSA4x1rpb042oB-4zAo-N2NW1LOEvzE0PjKnhJlfeM7khigxb6nAz4mXS4-3UoetrYuCGGeUnPRlUOliyTq8cgLkrTuO5IA0L9McR625K00TwMaHVG5IxHNX1dx26QBmDGMjo/s640/blogger-image-712672822.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnkIYKKvg4K36-Pr8SvlNlYFkaGDfY9oX3tfdhCSEIc5Q9w_pCSyTO1PFkU_PjbxbYv8XjYYITZlmEKYj7RNTJK0TCILIdeWQZfCc2irTbJyCK8WZe05RDvuyG0-zA1AAFiFgBmy4KX3s/s640/blogger-image-1633514513.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnkIYKKvg4K36-Pr8SvlNlYFkaGDfY9oX3tfdhCSEIc5Q9w_pCSyTO1PFkU_PjbxbYv8XjYYITZlmEKYj7RNTJK0TCILIdeWQZfCc2irTbJyCK8WZe05RDvuyG0-zA1AAFiFgBmy4KX3s/s640/blogger-image-1633514513.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4CT5RcrAzqWMysqdu4jMvasJlJfExhd-sAvPk2K-61X-ZfCuOURKwQqDAFefvvXYOJEKu-SuiTeyy-fL2JHQi_LRZN5dnlHT5r82dihq-SA8xsiwbYgwl709Y_31f053_3ghV-XZpyp0/s640/blogger-image--259036188.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4CT5RcrAzqWMysqdu4jMvasJlJfExhd-sAvPk2K-61X-ZfCuOURKwQqDAFefvvXYOJEKu-SuiTeyy-fL2JHQi_LRZN5dnlHT5r82dihq-SA8xsiwbYgwl709Y_31f053_3ghV-XZpyp0/s640/blogger-image--259036188.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivfPl3P1VuFacuIQgYfipliYjYe0_ltYkm3K-Y4mdXUNDZuUikshtUC34R6dRSblUcj_pfP9bhd4d-1IBAVr0kTxE2_f24JscnysF0bxDpafVJjgqkhocAPT1iGJEvE7tOL0BbafyFEF4/s640/blogger-image-307874477.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivfPl3P1VuFacuIQgYfipliYjYe0_ltYkm3K-Y4mdXUNDZuUikshtUC34R6dRSblUcj_pfP9bhd4d-1IBAVr0kTxE2_f24JscnysF0bxDpafVJjgqkhocAPT1iGJEvE7tOL0BbafyFEF4/s640/blogger-image-307874477.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Can you see Trish's finished quilt.

I was in the middle of a long and very vivid dream at the time, (and yes I do remember my dreams). <br />
I rolled over and looked at the clock, it said 6.18am. I panicked and jumped out of bed and started rushing around. Then it suddenly dawned on me that my alarm had not gone off because it was Sunday NOT Monday and I had turned it off.<br />
So, I'll get back into bed and check my emails.<br />

Yesterday evening hubby took me to a local beach and we went to the little pub and had dinner. Sat outside in the last of the day's sunshine and watched the comings and goings. It was lovely.<br />
<br />
So next Saturday I will be at the Ohau Market and I needed to make some more lavender bags and cards to sell. Above are some of the finished cards ready to package. <br />
<br />
Then I decided to make some coffee card wallets. I thought they might look a little different, I've never made them to sell before. What do you think? I use one all the time, they are great for your eftpos/credit cards too.<br />

I got a lovely comment from Nancy on the last post. She has made a Snippet Roll and invited me over to see it. Of course it was gorgeous, but I knew it would be! If you want to visit <a href="http://quiltnans.blogspot.co.nz/" target="_blank">Nancy's blog</a> just click on the link. I have to say it was lovely of Nancy to credit where she got the idea, I really appreciate it. Snippet Rolls are infiltrating the world, but not many people credit it back to it's source. I'm guessing the wee SR's are a long way from home now.<br />
<br />
Well, I really must get up now. Oh and if you were wondering what the dream was about - well I was living with a very elderly and forgetful aunt in a huge two story rambling house and I remembered that she had turned the bath on upstairs over an hour ago, and I was running to turn the water off. When I got to the bottom of the stairs there was water dripping from the ceiling and spilling down the stairway! The top floor was awash. And then I woke up. :)<br />
What does it mean I wonder?<br />
<br />
Enjoy your weekend!<br />
