SKOW - Yes, I have started . . .

Hello and happy new year ... have been watching 

all of the posts coming through and I must say I 

had better get a hurry on.  It looks like everyone 

is enjoying this project!

I did prepare in early December, cutting, sorting 

into my plastic bags, making templates etc. but 

then it all came to a sudden halt - but now back 

on track . . . have a couple of days off now so it 

is back into it.

I have been sorting out the sewing room and have 

put all of my "many" projects away in labelled 

colourful boxes and have included the date ... 

this way it makes me take a hard look at all of 

these projects before I dash off and want to 

start a new one - you know what I mean!!!

I have decided to try needle turn on this project, 

so far I have marked and pressed each piece 

ready for sewing onto main fabric.  I don't know 

if I will do all of the quilt this way, I may alternate 

with blanket stitch - not sure at this point, will 

see how I go with this one first!

Keep up the great work everyone, your posts 

have inspired me to get cracking. 

Until next time, SuziQ

On the buses - NYE/Palm Beach

Happy New Year! Hope you had a great evening . . . Driving for Sydney Buses on NYE is such a lot of fun - extremely busy and one of the side benefits is watching the fireworks display in Sydney!  It was a very long shift (12 hours in total), finishing at 3.30 am Sunday. Thankfully I don't do too many of these late ones.

My wonderful DH took a pic of me with my NYE "antlers" on my head - on the buses we often dress for the occasion!!!  I wish my DH had told me to move away from the metal dahlia on the wall - it looks like I have more than "antlers" growing out of my head!

I was up at Palm Beach (northern beaches of Sydney) yesterday and I just couldn't help but take a few pics ... it was one of those perfect "sparkling" days at the beach - just wish I had been lolling around on the beach!

Until next post - happy new year, cheers, Suzi
