cascade cascade lily s crafty adventures tuesday august 21 2018 a long overdue update hi there i m not sure if anyone still reads blogs these days but i was looking over old posts to find baby photos of tristan and thought i should post an update tempus sure does fugit romily is now 13 and a high schooler while tristan cracked a decade old today sadly as a high school mum full time worker and part time soldier i don t have a lot of spare time for craft pursuits so it s been a lean few years on the quilting front i have been doing some handquilting still on the quilt i started making for rom about 10 years ago winter is coming to and end in the next month or so so i really should get my skates on eh give rom a few years and she won t even like the crazy colours any more to my quilting buddies i hope you are having more success than i am but i will rejoin the gang one of these days just as soon as i get some time posted by cascade lily at 8 50 pm 5 comments sunday april 27 2014 a quilt a mini quilt granted but it s a quilt nonetheless and it s one that romily now 8 years old and i made together she wanted a quilt for big ted so we set about designing a simple grid and selecting the fabrics from my rather substantial scrap box the fabric choices are all rom s and i helped her learn to sew together squares she struggled a bit with keeping the seams the same width and after doing a pretty good job handed it over to me i didn t know quilting would be so hard mum we piecing the top on friday and i sandwiched and quilted it yesterday i asked rom to do the quilting but i think it was all a bit too much for her and she asked me to finish it next time i think i ll let her sew together four large pieces of felt and call it a blankie romily doesn t seem quite ready for the rigours of straight line sewing not yet anyway it s been a long time between drinks while i have been handquilting romily s single bed quilt see post from last june i haven t been doing any crafting as i had rather a serious snafu with my mphil dissertation not long after my last post i had an annual review by the higher degree people at the university they gave me the bad news that my methodology didn t quite stack up with the evidence i had gathered during my research phase while it wasn t quite back to the drawing board i did have to rewrite about 10000 words as well as gather new data this stumble set me back six months but i am happy to report i submitted my thesis for examination in the last week of march it s now out with the two external examiners and i should know how i ve done within the next month or so having this weight off my shoulders has been such a liberating experience i am now free to tackle all those jobs around the home i ve been putting off as well as to do some writing for me i m working on my first screenplay and pick up the guitar i ve bought a fabulous luna guitar and i m learning my first chords i ll start taking some lessons in the coming week and hopefully i ll be able to start playing some songs i sing in a band and we ve written a bunch of songs i d like to be able to play along on some of them although the concept of singing and playing at the same time is likely to take a little while to master so life is good there are endless opportunities and i hope some of my future opportunities include more quilting and more crafting and even romily may decide to have another go finished size 18 5x23 posted by cascade lily at 11 39 am 3 comments labels quilty goodness romily stuff and nonsense saturday june 22 2013 oh dear so much for 2013 being a little less busy than previous years i have finally come to the realisation that i ll probably never slow down i did change jobs at the end of last year and am currently a fulltime student studying strategic studies again for one year before i take up a new and as yet unknown position next year while in theory i should be less busy this year because i was unable last year to finish off a master of philosophy in business that i have been doing part time for the past three years i am madly working on that too so i am actually doing two masters degrees at once i am due to submit my mphil thesis 40 000 words in 8 weeks so i am busy as all get out i am also suffering dreadfully from headaches this year there doesn t seem to be any specific cause some are migraine like and resulting from hormonal surges while others are caused by incredibly stiff sore neck and shoulder muscles which may or may not have resulted from a volleyball injury i sustained in march fortunately the kids and carl are all well romily is having a great time at school she s halfway through grade 2 and tristan is enjoying preschool otherwise known as kindergarten in most places he ll start prep next year although in the australian capital territory it s known as kindergarten don t try to understand just know it s year zero needless to say i have done almost zero crafting this year boohoo however i am just about to start hand quilting romily s single bed quilt which i started making way back in 2007 how utterly ridiculous fortunately she still likes the colours and the fabric here s a picture of the completed top i m just going to do straight lines in variegated perle cotton but it will probably take me the rest of the year at least so she ll be able to use it over summer next winter nearly 7 years after i started making it where does that time go posted by cascade lily at 10 08 pm 4 comments labels eye candy quilt quilty goodness romily saturday october 27 2012 christmas stars finally finished for those of you who happen to visit in search of some crafty news i have finally finished my version of the audrey maude christmas baubles quilt this has been a work in progress for nearly two years and has been my handwork project for the past 18 months the largest quilt i ve made yet it s entirely handquilted in perle cotton in a wavy pattern that i happily made up as i went along the quilt hung on the wall last christmas where the myriad safety pins looked like extra decoration and will again grace the walls but this time finished and you know it s not long till christmas when the department stores start setting up the santa photo stands thanks again to helen who gifted me the pattern a couple of years ago i got there in the end i have really enjoyed seeing christmas stars evolve over time and am so pleased i stuck with it although at times all that handquilting seemed tedious and never ending of course now i need a new project to keep my knees warm at night and it s ready and waiting all sandwiched and basted i ll show you a sneak peek in my next post hopefully it won t be two months between now and the next post i am counting down the weeks until i change jobs which will happen in mid december all going to plan and i hope to be doing a little more crafty goodness than i ve managed over the past two years posted by lily mulholland at 5 14 pm 6 comments labels blogging buddies christmas christmas stars monochromatics quilty goodness wednesday august 22 2012 polka dot pencil skirt i ve been eyeing off some lovely skirts around town lately there s something so very stylish about pencil skirts but they can also be a lot of fun i have baulked at the prices however not to mention felt a little guilty at all the wonderful fabric sitting in my stash just waiting to be made into something wearable so i decided to get me a pattern and have a bit of a crack at one myself i wanted my skirt to be fitted and lined with a back zip and kick pleat so i hunted down a great read easy pattern from vogue it s on sale and went to work using some left over michael miller spots grey on black i used as backing for my allan s lagoon quilt i am pretty pleased with my effort only one mistake that i ve noticed so far and that was sewing one of my darts the wrong side on the lining and no one will ever see it i did sew the zip a bit too high but it turned out fine and meant i could omit the hook and eye fiddly little buggers i also omitted the faux welt pockets and tabs maybe i ll tackle them another day but i didn t want to over complicate what is my first skirt in a couple of years i lined the skirt with some pale blue acetate it looks lovely through the kick pleat at the back and best of all the skirt fits fantastically woot i have another couple planned but it s unlikely i ll get to them before october i have so much work on and will likely be travelling for most of september however my stash has waited for me this long and it s not going anywhere so i am not worried oh and i also started another proejct v1303 which is also now on sale i paid full price for the pattern wah it s good to have one on the go no

20s so this came as quite a shock especially for her fortunately she is smart as a whip and was straight onto it so was her doctor she had surgery just about straight away and is now recovering with the wonderful news that the cancer hadn t spread talk about a close call the cancer has come on top of a very hard seven years for her and i just could not believe so much bad stuff could happen to one person who just happens to be one of the loveliest smartest women i know she is taking it all in her stride although i am sure she has her moments don t we all albeit metaphorically at the present as she is still a little sore from the surgery i couldn t do anything material to support her she s in brisbane i am in canberra except to make a quilt a little fabric pun in there for all you stashaholics i recently bought this ace book by alissa haight carlton and was inspired by the cover quilt to make a lovely lemony quilt for my friend i used up some yellows from my stash and paired them with some kona snow to create a monochromatic modern minimalist quilt how s that for alliteration instead of repeating the darkest yellow for the binding i thought it would be better framed in a battleship grey and found the perfect shade at my lqs addicted to fabric i quilted it with double wavy lines and it s backed in a bright sunny spotty fabric i bought at spotlight while i really wanted to call it the gin and tonic quilt i thought she might want to share it with her gorgeous kids so instead called it the lemonade quilt because when life gives you lemons reach for the gin and tonic er make some lemonade the quilt is now living on my friend s bed and i hope it makes her happy posted by lily mulholland at 4 47 pm 6 comments labels friends monochromatics quilty goodness stashalicious
