What has been your most notable sewing mishap this year? Despite a productive day, my schedule did not unfold as planned. I had hoped to begin sewing the 'Zip it' quilt, but an error was discovered where 209 pieces were cut 1 inch too long. I have rectified the issue and expect to resume sewing this afternoon. I am eager to hear about your 2026 setbacks.

Do you like hanging your quilts on the walls or are they specifically for snuggling with? Maybe you could share some recently finished quilts with us. I finished this lovely quilt late last year and after the Christmas quilt came down I have hung this one.

Hi everyone, ‘Happy New Year’
I’m definitely late in greeting everyone this year but unfortunately life has been hectic in our household. We are doing some major renovations in our garden/verandah at home, it’s very exciting for us but it’s now time to let the experts do their magic and for us to get back to normal.

At this time of year many of us have a tidy up and reorganise our sewing rooms, I love moving the furniture about to clean behind or perhaps put it in a different position. I also allow myself some relaxing time looking at planned projects, reading through the many patterns that I imagine I have time to make. I also like to decide on which projects are a priority, and also which WIP’s will make it to the quilting stage this year. I keep a notebook and list projects that need finishing; it feels so good when I get to tick some of them off.

I would love to hear how you start your year off; are you like me or are you still madly finishing off projects. Perhaps you have other things that you like to do to start the year off in your sewing rooms. It would be nice if you could send some pictures from your sewing rooms, perhaps a sewing collectable, a piece of furniture or a quilt that you have displayed.
I can’t wait to hear what your New Year Sewing Room Routine is and to see your favourite things.

I’ll leave you with some pictures of a few of my favourite things.
I look forward to hearing from you.
If you’re interested in making a booking we still have some vacancies during the year.

We apologize for the lengthy interval since our last update. We have been enjoying a relaxing break, exploring in Queensland with friends.
Today, we have been busy preparing for the arrival of guests tomorrow; they are certainly lucky. Thankfully, Waikerie's weather has been more temperate than Adelaide's today. We still have a few bookings available if you would like to book a sewing holiday with your friends before Christmas.

What a delightful autumn day it is in Waikerie, with such beautiful sunshine ☀️. I am currently sitting on the front veranda, reading the new Homespun magazine, as I wait for our guests to arrive.

Do you fasten the safety pins as you take them out of the quilt or when you have finished?

Sending happy Easter wishes to everyone, have a fun day with your families and if you’re able to your sewing machines. 🐣🐇❤️

Can you guess my favourite bakery in Waikerie and the place I go to enjoy their yummy pies?? Have you tried any of their many delicious pies or pasties yet?
I can highly recommend the ‘Curry Pie’
