<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
At
the end of August I attended "Injune's Creative Odyssey", a two day
crafting feast hosted by Injune Arts in the little town of Injune, Qld.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prior to the weekend we had been issued with some voluntary challenges. A painting challenge and a Fat 1/4 challenge. The Fat1/4 challenge was to make a cancer care bag using the challenge fabric. My challenge fabric was the bright 'weave' print.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="1364" data-original-width="1364" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWKwZmQQwCTP6fzs8GJE4lpL0qeLG1-HGD0MhY-LlychtEiuzZqDm6TI3j4XelNJHm9xLXKNuUf8_nXO214RNFs8htW6SwADzn4n_iSA_t135YhUAJ2Dx0gdy2p0G-nHhyFpOKtbHGuiM/s320/1503208652614.jpg" width="320" /> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was so inspired by how easy the bag was, I set to work making another from scraps from my Ribbon Boxes quilt. These scraps were just sttitched together to form rectangles and then the bag completed as usual. The way these scraps came togethe still amazes me. I know they 'went' together because i used them in a quilt, but to have the bag come out so bright and happy & unpredictable was what really surprised me. </div>

My two bags have been sent off to the Cancer Care units in the Toowoomba hospitals along with the other 30 something bags from the weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second challenge was a mini canvas challenge. Now I am NOT a painter but I was determined to give it a go. This was "The effect of Odyssey"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
however, I did not like it. So it was painted over in the orange paint and left to think about its behaviour. LOL</div>

One week before the challenge was due, inspiration struck me and this was the finished & submitted mini canvas.</div>

Aussie Hero Quilt #2 for August was fun to make.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used donated blocks to make the giant stars on the top & bottom. I love the red, white & blue star in the top section, unfortunately the bottom star is not quite as obvious, but it is still there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This quilt used my favourite AHQ border material, Australian Flags. it is quite a happy fabric.<img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY4NGIKqzQtAkvo6wMrulaOHTqcSoeb-3WCwrPgINjcMgWQH62bBb8SyliecwPtzd-xf4EIk2W4oc7A09O_BGZFpMpWgsRDH39_UNkKiSxFLseTGCj2PAp82LmHdhh8i_AOZ80Hu5RWo4/s320/LT+Andrew+Davis+8583952+%25285%2529.jpg" width="180" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This recipient requested the rising sun and once again the AHQ embroidery fairies stepped in to provide me with one. That rising sun is very complex.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was also to send a laundry bag to this fellow, so I dug into my 'quirky' fabric collection to see what I had. These black & white signs were perfect and the bag will be very distinctive.</div>

August saw two Aussie Hero Quilts completed and sent. This scrappy green quilt went to Afghanistan.</div>

In July I posted that I had been doing secret sewing for Aussie Hero Quilts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These two laundry bags were presented to the crew of HMAS Darwin during the last week to commemorate their final deployment before the ship is decommissioned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fronts are plain colours with the ships crest so the crew can collect signatures or other commemorative momentos of their final trip. The backs are 'nautical' or Australian themed.</div>
<br />

June flew past without me noticing. I'm not sure how I didn't notice, I had a birthday and it the school musical and end of term.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I managed a few sewing projects and made quite a good start on others.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This rainbow AHQ was fun to sew and very pretty while sitting on O-Me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This rainbow theme Aussie Hero Quilt & Laundry bag were finished and sent to the recipient somewhere in the middle east (I think).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love it, it is happy and colourful with a little bit of Aussie thrown in for good measure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rainbow blocks were made by Aussie Hero Friends from across Australia & I designed, pieced and quilted the quilt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
June's other sewing was another 11 hearts for the 1000 Heart project. These haven't found a home yet, but I'm sure they will soon. </div>

My last post was about the Sheriff costume for my son.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well the musical is over, school is now on holidays and we are onto the next projects.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I promised a photo of the complete outfit, so here it is.</div>

Sometimes, the pretty sewing has to be put aside for the 'important' or "but Mum, I need it tomorrow" sewing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That is what this creation is. A costume for the teenager for the school musical. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His character is an American Sheriff, so I had to create a uniform for the sheriff. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Epaulets and pocket triangles added to a fawn coloured shirt seemed to fit the bill.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" kasperskylab_antibanner="on" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJTCd_DoeSt7Lq8byQTRrE08vpFm6nQCJf2AuPmWJHGTYCGOhl5iBA2fzuQG8gJDE8nrN5ymkV8b_U2dFA2cyRTOhooYZUZKpAOAVBHEPVnqYAwnx2leaB1ziigwGV4bOT_-BQatbHNMM/s320/IMAG2889.jpg" width="180" /> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It appears I forgot to photograph the finished shirt. Oh well the production is on in the next couple of weeks, I'll try to remember then.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Sheriff also needed a holster for his pistol. You cant see it, but it is sewn. Got to love having a craft cupboard of random fabrics. I knew the black vinyl would be handy eventually. LOL.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

My 'no stress' sewing lately has been felt pocket hearts for the 1000 Hearts Project. These pretties were sent to an acquaintance who's had a tough time lately. One for herself and others to share with her local support crew.

Sometimes projects just happen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My youngest child has a banana pillow and every time we wash it it makes me gag. No matter what I do it won't come clean. (No, I have no idea why we purchased a white pillow case).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So Saturday saw me digging out some long forgotten fabrics to create a couple of pillow cases that I can live with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The old pillow case made the perfect pattern </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" kasperskylab_antibanner="on" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7RutOzwteqIBfzmReO3kaYfkEmsHbTr9B-jg7wubYrNgGb7Ow-xfofpQieCgkhIW3ddjpXDr6CykjTWYTxjcm2ewp2llHCEkB_7O0VWNmGFXgS8LRlKcg0Fp9rwbl8zw7IEsHfN1gwLw/s320/IMAG3052-20170529-203555210.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and we now have bright balloons</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH3KvBgCMvDetyGOdv12KOM948vKo8iRuu-FeaB7-bZPaVoAAzPWEV2KwdG_PAXjAChNbXj4FbWAXetv8Kcly-GeLQvBkXZUmdE9lb341GPu8I_2MLNhUPPhwnANn4b3YwN3-J2cYZOFQ/s1600/IMAG3053-20170529-203554367.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" kasperskylab_antibanner="on" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH3KvBgCMvDetyGOdv12KOM948vKo8iRuu-FeaB7-bZPaVoAAzPWEV2KwdG_PAXjAChNbXj4FbWAXetv8Kcly-GeLQvBkXZUmdE9lb341GPu8I_2MLNhUPPhwnANn4b3YwN3-J2cYZOFQ/s320/IMAG3053-20170529-203554367.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and colourful crayons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOaQcJZsShLdK6qjT57nsuZ8vvbQVgc9c4_ercMRb46NL_5QLTltjXAlfLauVS6eBYUJhaneva1qRyY8NMBdom2FWjTacGO-xyNybVarjk-LyYhLVRERnw8u9Bjbhn31LbKIsBRYx1kXs/s1600/IMAG3055-20170529-203553369.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" kasperskylab_antibanner="on" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOaQcJZsShLdK6qjT57nsuZ8vvbQVgc9c4_ercMRb46NL_5QLTltjXAlfLauVS6eBYUJhaneva1qRyY8NMBdom2FWjTacGO-xyNybVarjk-LyYhLVRERnw8u9Bjbhn31LbKIsBRYx1kXs/s320/IMAG3055-20170529-203553369.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are fabrics that I'm not even sure why I had them. I'm very glad they are now in a project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="180" kasperskylab_antibanner="on" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7FISIstqDx1NHhZs-sS9Iv5wj99uCW5MXydxLLmZC_b8Vbwuc5Njk89ftKoMtqRh3gH_9d4NnKkyBtT_ePYIZUUEY8CB5bGagh0c9zMNSyZsC1kwzD3etwnp3_lerDSp30KLwx6l1pzo/s320/IMAG3056-20170529-203552396.jpg" width="320" /> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So 2 more finishes for May OPAM and no feral pillowcase to have to look at.</div>

Last week I posted about <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6426935967365663459#editor/target=post;postID=2805218627316866241;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=6;src=postname">February's False Starts and Flimsies</a> well, the quilt in question was going to be my second finish for the Roma Show.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had 3 days until the deadline and all that I needed to do was quilt and bind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WRONG... this quilt did not have a backing, so I needed to make one (it was also Sunday and the shops were closed). Thankfully I had a bolt of white fabric that I picked up on an amazing sale so I could create the right look. (Finished photo at the bottom of the post)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
O-me was having a big week and she didn't let me down. The quilting went very smoothly, thank goodness.</div>

I am so very proud of this quilt. I am so excited I was able to design something that worked. A few tweaks along the way, but that is an important part of the design process.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
My boys inform me this is my best quilt yet - but they are also fairly sure they will not be permitted to use it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Onto O-me for some quilting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
After dealing with some bobbin issues, I realised a simple arrow on my bobbin case might solve the backwards threading issue in the future. (fingers crossed)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
and back to O-me. Once I dealt with the bobbin issues, it was quite an easy sew thankfully.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Deadline one "THE ROMA SHOW" was not overly far away, so a finish was needed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Deadline two had passed in October, but this baby was going to be gifted as a very belated 40th birthday gift after the show.... So onto binding. Thanks to some late night dramas, binding was completed in record time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Front "Red, Red Ribbons"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And the custom made backing from the left over fabrics. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I promise they are the same colour, just a trick of the light).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So it was finished with 3 days to spare, leaving time to finish a second entry for the show.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OPAM 1 for May complete. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes I am deadline motivated. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No I did not get to bed before midnight for a week. :)<br />

The end of April saw Queensland Quilters Inc host <a href="https://www.facebook.com/quiltconnect/">"Quilt Connect"</a> an exhibit of quilts from affilliated quilt groups across Queensland.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Roma Patchwork & Crafters Inc were one of the groups who exhibited.<img border="0" height="320" kasperskylab_antibanner="on" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1eA_70QnVo2bctFF9qQ5MtdnIAaIxOsClEpdvU3R6jTTd9wVdVNjgQGrWGKji2AVWseW8BZW0P0letxZx7lrJYUWBsHApu2EOHrqWS2JR7Lrbkh7aEjbWKLMCRz4c1Whl5GdmBBtXJpg/s320/QQ+Flyer+Roma+Patchwork+v2.jpg" width="226" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each group sent 5 quilts for display. Once of the quilts was mine. It was great to see them displayed in a State Wide Quilt Show.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the opportunity to meet the President & Vice-President of Queensland Quilters. These ladies work really hard to promote quilting in Queensland and their idea of a state wide quilt show was amazing.</div>

As I mentioned yesterday, Easter is a big deal here in Roma. We have a street parade on the Saturday morning and community groups, schools & businesses enter floats for the parade.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My family are involved in Maranoa Music Inc, the local community band.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were decorating a float for the parade when we realised we did not have enough falls for the music stands. (For the non- music people, the fall is the fabric thing that hangs from the stand to make it look pretty)</div>

Our Easter Saturday afternoon relaxation, was a trip to the Mud Derby. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is always a lovely afternoon and the weather was perfect.</div>

As odd as it sounds, I find sitting at the mud derby relaxing, so I take my hand sewing and I stitch while watching.</div>

This year's stitching is hearts for the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/1000PocketHearts/">1000 hearts</a> project. </div>

Nice and simple hearts that were easy to sew between mud cars.</div>

Easter in Roma is a huge event. Easter in the Country is a major tourist event for our town and our region.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My patchwork group, Roma Patchwork & Crafters Inc held a display in conjunction with the Easter Art Show.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the display through the windows of our studio. It was themed "A Touch of Red" </div>

It was fun to set up the exhibit with works from different people. It was also sort of scary to find out how many 'red' quilts I had in my house.<br />
<br />
The old pinnock looked quite at home in the window with the red & aqua quilt. (not my quilt)<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">February saw me starting a project I have had brewing in my brain for a while and decided I would make it because I wanted it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">No deadline or intended recipient, it would be mine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A few years ago, I had participated in a red & white fabric swap hosted by Karen Griska of <a href="http://sewmanyways.blogspot.com.au/">Sew Many Ways</a>. (I've just checked Karen's blog and it was 2011 - oh my goodness).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Anyway, I finally designed a quilt to use these gorgeous red & whites. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> This was my design</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> I sewed a million 1/2 square triangles and started to join the centre star.</span></div>

We all have UFOs. Some are because we lost the pattern, or ran out of fabric, or fell out of love with the project or we just couldn't work out how to finish it. Well this project was the latter. I couldn't work out how to finish my pillow cases, so they've sat for at least 2 years.</div>

This yarn cross stitch is based on the pattern "Let's have fun with Yarn" by Ursula Michael Designs from <a href="http://www.crosstitch.com/search?f=114letfy13">here</a>. The original design was for a knitter so I changed out the needles and a few of the words to suit my fibre spinning, yarn loving, crochet girl.</div>

This little sewing project was finished out of necessity.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
My youngest son needed a bag for his clarinet music. He has been colouring this piece of Pokemon material on and off for a few months and decided it would make a good bag.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
It is fully lined it with a great flame fabric, so if we need to or want to it is fully reversible.<br />
Now E just needs to finish colouring. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
This is OPAM 8 for December.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
See you soon.<br />

So after a few text messages with the Mums we have 6 pillow cases for 6 <font color="#000000">special</font> people.</p><p dir="ltr">L-R Blue LEGO FAN, Purple girlie girl, Blue camping girl, Orange piano player, Green bike loving boy & Green LEGO fan.</p><p dir="ltr">The LEGO pillows were the hardest as Lego fabric is hard to find in my part of the world, so I ended up printing colourful silhouettes on fabric & appliqueing them on. I think they look cute.</p><p dir="ltr">I do particularly love the photo of them all wrapped & stacked.<br></p><p dir="ltr">Handmade Christmas.<br></p>

We live in South-West Qld and many people transfer through town for work.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Our teachers are often on the "transfer trail". This year it was the Instrumental music teacher, Me Bensley. She had taught both of my boys for 3 years so it was a hard goodbye. (1 plays Clarinet and the other plays Saxophone)</p>
<p dir="ltr">What's a quilter to do?? Make a quilt of course, a music themed quilt.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Quilt specs: Bali Batik Jelly Roll from Wacky Jackys</p>
<p dir="ltr">Music Silhouette patterns from Patchwork at the Bay Window</p>
