 Many years ago when I was a member of the Sunbury Patchwork group we made these cutting and ironing folders. I am talking about over 15 years ago. I used up some appliqué blocks from a friendship group I was in at Pixie Patch Kilmore.

On the inside was an ironing mat and cutting mat. This has been very well used as I take it to all the workshops I attend.

I decided that I needed one for my caravan case as my travelling sewing folder.

I already had the bits and pieces in my sewing room. So with hubbies help to cut the wood I have all the pieces at a nice compact size. I am even putting in a sandpaper board so I can trace the templates easier onto the fabric.

Approx 6” x 8”.

On the road again.
Just down the road is Castlemaine. This is such a beautiful old town. Threadbear quilt shop is owned by Corliss. She has the most amazing reproduction fabrics. Her hand stitching is a real piece of work.

We did get to Gisborne too. A Patch n Quilt but I forgot the photos. Mary has a beautiful bright shop with pretty fabrics....


My friend Sue was lovely enough to pick me up from my drop off point and take me home for a few hours. Sue was not able to make it to the quilt in because she was spending it in Castlemaine sewing... the places we travel to thread a needle and stitch.....
It was fun catching up with Sue. We had such a good laugh. It never is long enough.

Oh what a laugh

 I then headed off to dinner and afterwards to my daughters house to stay the night... A busy day

Out to dinner with my beautiful daughter and sweet grandsons.
