Quilting in My Pyjamas: Being A Lady of Leisure

http://fairybreadmusings.blogspot.com/2014/12/being-lady-of-leisure.html

Friday, December 12, 2014. Being A Lady of Leisure. I've been on holidays for 12 days and have spent it doing pretty much whatever I wanted, which so far has involved a fair amount of sweet stuff all. Usually I'm trying to pack 30 hours of stuff into a 24 hour day so being able to move at a snails pace if I choose has been seriously refreshing. This being (temporarily) unemployed thing is working out pretty well. The first thing I did was go on holidays for a week. And drink cocktails with. For brunch an...

Quilting in My Pyjamas: September 2014

http://fairybreadmusings.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Monday, September 29, 2014. Spring has really sprung here at Maison Pyjamas. Less than two weeks ago I was lamenting the fact that our cherry tree (which didn't lose its all of its leaves until August - slacker! Was still bare and barren. Today it looks like this which makes me happy because it means long, lazy, warm days will soon be a regular occurrence. I busted out a T-shirt this weekend and it felt sublime. I have to tell you it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Seriously! So I went with o...

Quilting in My Pyjamas: October 2014

http://fairybreadmusings.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 26, 2014. Bloggers Quilt Festival -October 2014. So if it wasn't. For both myself and Fontella doing our bits this quilt would never have come to be a finished thing and I like the idea of having made a collaborative quilt with her , even if it was decades after she finished the top. And then I hung it in a cupboard and there it stayed for 4 or 5 years while I contemplated trying to find cream fabric to match, and the agony of hand sewing 400-500 teeny tiny hexies to finish it off. Oc...

Quilting in My Pyjamas: Living La Vida Loca

http://fairybreadmusings.blogspot.com/2015/04/living-la-vida-loca.html

Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Living La Vida Loca. I spent the first few weeks of my new job travelling to the ends of the earth for training. For someone who has never travelled further than 15 minutes to work, an hour each way in bumper to bumper peak hour traffic was a truly horrendous experience. It was wonderful when I started at my permanent office, cut my daily travel time by about half and started to get in to some sort of routine. So this past weekend, I sucked it up, tied a rope around my waist (so ...

Quilting in My Pyjamas: July 2014

http://fairybreadmusings.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, July 22, 2014. Evolution of a Quilt. You may recall, a week ago I did a post about a rainbow of colour that I saw on my sewing room floor and the subsequent idea that popped into my brain. For a new quilt. Seriously people - sometimes you just gotta go with the flow, and so last week that's what I did. How it looked on Sunday when inspiration struck. On Monday I cut all those fabrics into strips. Tuesday - More cutting of plain fabric and I started strip piecing. Stats for the week:. I'm hoping ...

Made by Andrea: January 2015

http://madebyandrea.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

A blog about my Quilting and Creative Writing journeys. Monday, 12 January 2015. About 2.5 years ago I purchased 3 FQ sized pre-printed whole-cloth panels to make a QAYG table runner with. One year ago - oops, upon checking, it was actually. Last December, I set to unpicking the cover strips and the partially sewn binding. Unpicking was all I achieved. I was determined that during this month of January I would get my runner finished. I re-cut the cover strips. Detail photo, showing the backing fabric.

Sunday, May 10, 2015. In Search of Chocolate Chip Cookie Greatness. P at The Way I Sew It. Sent me a recipe which called for Crisco which isn't easily obtainable here, so I went online and had some sent over from USA Foods In Melbourne. It arrived on Thursday so I set about making her recipe on Saturday. You Americans just love to make shit difficult don't you? Round Two and Three went a little better.although I got distracted by Pinterest and Cupcake Mania on my iPad so some of my cookies got baked ...

Quilting in My Pyjamas: Lucky Dip Dining

http://fairybreadmusings.blogspot.com/2015/04/lucky-dip-dining.html

Thursday, April 30, 2015. So I spent some of my Saturday night on the internets, looking up places I want to eat at then I made a list. I printed out the list , cut them up , folded them and put them into a jar. Then I cheated and pulled out the one for the sushi restaurant because that was the thought that started all of this so therefore it deserved to be first. So Mr P and I went off to Kintaro Sushi Train for lunch (which is Tazz's. You then have the choice of rugby tackling the unsuspecting thief.

Quilting in My Pyjamas: The Party is (Almost) Over

http://fairybreadmusings.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-party-is-almost-over.html

Tuesday, January 13, 2015. The Party is (Almost) Over. Soit's been a month since I showed my face round here and it's high time to get back into some semblance of a routine, both online and in my actual life. The break has been lovely though, since we've celebrated Christmas, ushered in a New Year and Mr. P and I have enjoyed an overseas holiday in my rather prolonged absence. So what's been going on here at Maison Pyjamas? This was my sister in laws rendition of Darth Vader (which nobody guessed correct...
