obtained before use posted by lindi at 10 05 am 2 comments labels daisy days quilts 12 may 2013 moving in all last week i slowly and methodically moved things back into my sewing room furniture first then stakka drawers then other stuffs as i found places for it we have angled the 4 lights but adjustments may occur as i start using the areas and change my mind i have a free standing arial ott lite as well so it can always fill in if i need more light this is the wall to the right of the door which is in the corner on this wall to the right of this pic this is my cutting out table i do hope to replace it with a slightly larger table one day but as yet i haven t found one that meets all requirements this one is an old teacher s desk which i waxed many years ago the bookcase is on the next wall it stocks completed toppers on the bottom shelf electrical gadgets paints and pencils pens glue catalogues etc my ipod and speakers sit on top this is the next wall with the previous mentioned bookcase i have this table coming out from the window with my back to the wall which will be my design wall you can just see a glimpse of a large basket with some of my wips trying to hide in the bottom right corner i have another crate plus a big zip quilt carry bag with more some of them used to be ufos but i ve decided i am not having ufos any more just wips this table runs along the window butting against the previous one all my threads are in the 2 smaller drawer stacks and fabric in the larger one i want better quality drawers for my threads so that is on my to get list the stakka drawers underneath the table contain part of my fabric stash you may have noticed my cutting table had stakka drawers too yes they also contain fabric as do the 9 under the other table this is the 4th wall the one the door opens against here i have a slightly larger bookcase with pretty boxes of ribbons buttons velvet habby things etc etc etc behind the door i have several hooks from which hang skirt hangers holding large ziplock bags with various things like iron on interfacing avalon tivek fast to fuse etc it s a system that works well for me a close up of 9 of my stakka drawers under one table i have 26 full drawers in total but it isn t nearly enough currently i have the lounge piled high with more fabric that is still homeless i also have a dining table loaded with odds and ends that are yet to be sorted as well as 8 cardboard boxes of mainly fabrics for garment construction a box of backing fabric and another 5 boxes with more odds and ends for fibre art i have no idea where it will all go i certainly don t want it coming into my nice neat spacious room lol i have yet to decorate the walls with wall hangings etc but that will have to wait until i have sorted out my lounge room and dining room what s your sewing area like care to post some photos on your blog if you do leave a comment here with a link and i ll mention you in a post i d love to see what you do with your area and how you organise things posted by lindi at 11 00 pm 9 comments labels sewing 6 may 2013 ready to move in my sewing room is finished yay o new paint on the walls do you like the aqua blue ceiling given a coat of white to freshen it up and a new light fitting with 4 lights that i can angle so that light is directed exactly where i need it i ll adjust them once the furniture is in we did an undercoat of white on the walls first to block out the previous colour but to also see what i thought of white sorry all you white voters but it really didn t do anything for me with that carpet it just looked blah while we were making changes we also put in a double power point so now i have one for my power board and one for other use i wish i was putting new white furniture in but i ll have to make do with my old stuff as it s still in fairly good condition it s a light beech laminate so will still tie in nicely stay tuned for progress as i move things back in i m taking my time with that because i want everything to have a place nothing goes in until it does we ll see how long that lasts lol posted by lindi at 1 41 am 3 comments 18 april 2013 variety is the spice of quilting there s nothing like a little variety in a girl s life and this gal likes colour and more colour and different projects these are the projects i m currently working on and i don t mean shoved away working on i mean there right out on the table and all worked on over the week my had9p quilt half a sed lol it s a variation of a disappearing 9 patch but with one cut not two hence the ha i ve used charm packs of chicopee by denyse schmidt with some extra red leaf outline from the range borders from the range are still to be added this top is complete it is a mix of single squares 4 patch and 9 patch squares and all fabrics are from my stash it is just waiting to be sandwiched and quilted drunkards path blocks in batiks i need to decide layout some gorgeous fabrics i bought from kate quilts it is from surface art fabric plus some kona solids love those kona solids i have started putting pieces together so this has progressed further than the photo this is my first real venture into modern quilts and i am designing it myself a rather blurry image of a block one of 12 from a precut pack i have bought fabric to do borders and i m currently sewing the first border fabric is knock knock by henry glass for some reason it reminds me of my grandmother s kitchen in the late 50s early 60s it makes my heart sing do you have several projects on the go at the same time or do you complete things before starting another want to see what others are doing there s heaps over at freshly pieced for wip wednesday cheers posted by lindi at 8 26 pm 4 comments 17 april 2013 tajine cooking in january when peter s of kensington were having their annual sale i spied this gorgeous blue emile henry tagine tajine at such a ridiculously low price i grabbed it best decision i ve made in a long while it cooks food so beautifully better than a casserole better than a slow cooker i also bought this book from peter s but it is available from bookdepository dot com for about 14 such delicious recipes my mouth waters just reading the recipes and looking at the pictures i am slowly working my way through the recipes this is the first dish i cooked lamb tagine with prunes apricots and honey chicken tagine with preserved lemon and olives and tonights dish of beef tagine with beetroot and oranges i think my favourite so far is the lamb with apricots and prunes i am also experimenting by using the tagine to cook other more european in style casserole dishes do you have a favourite cooking utensil or a style of cooking do tell us about it posted by lindi at 11 09 pm 2

depository amazon or lisa s website dyedheaven com woohoo my copy of lisa walton s new book arrived today from the book depository i have been excitedly awaiting this since i pre ordered last year

of it lisa not only has plenty of fun and fantastic quilt projects for you to follow she also encourages you to play and experiment yourself she leads you through enough theory to help you gain the confidence to go for it her instructions are clear and easy to follow with extra tips thrown in any level of quilter could follow them and make these wonderful quilts and progress to their own designs

many as some bloggers but still that s almost 1 post per week i think that calls for a celebration so in the next week i ll be deciding what i will do a giveaway seems in order after all everyone loves a giveaway i ll do some thinking over the weekend and sometime next week i ll tell you what i have in mind stay tuned oh and leave a comment on a recent post you never know posted by lindi at 10 33 pm 8 comments 28 march 2013 r r reclaiming and redecorating for the last 12 months i have been evicted from my sewing room and all my stuff piled into the dining room due to first my son and family moving back from tasmania and living here for 9 months then my daughter and family moving in for 3 months now finally the room is empty yippee but i m not moving in yet first we are going to paint the room was a mid blue colour before i claimed it and was just too overwhelming so i painted it with some left over paint from our family room a nice neutral shade and i m not normally a neutral gal but this one is lovely however in the lower light room it looked dingy so i did a spongey wash kind of overpaint with white that made it look very soft eggshelly it s a nice effect but i m tired of that lol we are doing a white coat first then doing the real paint job but what colour i ve had lots of advice to go with white for the light and i was seriously thinking to do that but seeing the white go on the walls it just says blah to me i normally love white rooms but their clarity is enhanced by the decor this room is not really going to have decor just work tables bookcases and boxes my current thinking is to do a pale pale pale aqua blue mixing blue for serenity and yellow for creativity what do you think stick with white for the light or go the aqua or something else you can vote over on the sidebar if you choose other i would love to know what colour you think so please leave a comment this is the room ready for painting it is a room in the middle of the house and looks out into the family room i have a skylight to allow more light into the room the red glow on the wall is where a bed has been the red flannelette sheets left a memory behind posted by lindi at 1 50 pm 8 comments 17 march 2013 it s been that long it s been a long time since i ve posted anything here facebook has made it so easy to communicate across the miles with so many of my friends pictures are easier to share conversations can be short sweet and frequent no word verifiation which unfortunately i have had to put back on due to being found recently by spammers and easier access from my phone in the four and a half months since the last post i have finished only one quilt although i have started several projects this is a play quilt for master m to drag around and put inside his tepee under the sea the munchkins have grown my how they have grown miss a is now 2 and master m is well on the way towards 3 i m still loving them to bits posted by lindi at 1 47 am 3 comments older posts home
