Even though I've taken it in (I cut it from the pattern of my veil) so it is not quite as bulky as I had it, it stil...

Unfortunately I made a mistake in the quilting along one border and, although you can't see it, I know it is there so out it comes to be redone.

Family History- the latest reveal!
(Preview)
I love TROVE, and if you haven't explored it you are missing out. Our family history is full of stories, and some I can validate, some I can't. Great grandfather went gold mining, so the story went, and left the wife and kids behind. When she hadn't heard from him for a while, great grandmother went looki...

A show judging experience

I had a new experience yesterday. I was asked to judge a section at our local show. I had been nervous about doing it as I've always been on the other end - putting in entries - but once I got in the swing of it, I really enjoyed doing it. Not sure if everyone will be happy with the decisions (I had another judge...
