Thank you to all who have contacted me - both here and elsewhere - I have responded to all I can - many have been no-reply comments so please don't feel I haven't read your words and your kindness - I have and I am really touched by it. Really.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a bit of encouragement I have seen my GP to help myself more - some happy pills are yet to kick in, but it takes time I'm told.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are many of us out there - those fighting for loved ones against diseases that destroy them - if you are one, you are not alone. Even though it feels like no-one knows it like you do, and this is probably true, there are many who are suffering too - and many who have come through the other end. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When our first troubles began, it was like being hit by a truck - and reading literature made it worse, reading about terrible outcomes stopped me in my tracks. Now, I am buoyed by hearing stories of people they know who have come through very well, and I cling to those life rafts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can I just encourage you to let someone know you are thinking of them? Just a simple text is all that may be needed - they are not alone, their problem is being acknowledged, another person in the world is thinking of them. It is amazing how good it feels to receive something like that. You may be surprised how good you may feel by sending it too.</div>

This is a hard post to write - but something is making me write it. I need to write about my hurt cos maybe there are others out there who hurt too. Maybe not. I know I don't have hundreds of readers of this small insignificant blog, quite frankly I'm surprised when I do get one comment, cos really that's the only way I know that someone takes the time to browse these pages. That's the awful catch of talking online. Is there anyone out there? If a blogger writes a sentence in the cyberspace and nobody reads it, is it really written? What if they read it and just don't respond? Different scenario but same outcome.<br />
<br />
This week has been a truly shitty week - full of lowest of the low moments, with little rises of the rollercoaster to see the view, and the view is good, then slammmm back down again; inertia forcing you motionless.<br />
<br />
What I am experiencing is not something new, something different, something special that has never happened to an other before; BUT it is happening to me and to my family. What hurts though is the real life people that don't care, don't speak, don't wanna know. I can get the online people not having the connection to reach out, but real life, breathing, asking 'how are you?' and really, you know they don't want to know people cos you see the flinching in their eyes, wishing for the 'oh fine thanks' answer. Really, it's not even those people, at least they tried and I can truly appreciate that - it is the ones who say nothing, do nothing.<br />
<br />
Do you have those people too? Do you have those people who you thought were friends, who you have spent time with, sometimes a lot of time, who you have common interests with, who you'd have bright quick conversations with, who used to include you? But now say nothing, do nothing. Who you just wish they would take 2 mins of their time to ask after you, who know the troubles you are going through and say nothing all the same? Saying nothing is the worst thing to say, yet it says so much. Saying nothing slams you to the ground with the realisation that you don't factor in their lives, in their thinking, in their thoughts at all.<br />
<br />
I haven't discussed the difficulties that I'm going through with many; these problems are not my own, but they are, which is how it should be. I haven't wanted to tell everyone I see about them - I don't want to be the 'kill the joyful mood' girl or 'I spill my guts every moment I can' girl but I am going through a hell of a lot and have been for at least 7 months. Have I become the Downer, the Crying Girl in the Corner, the Angry but Don't Ask? Do you not think I want to be asked? I need to asked? You know, a hug wouldn't go astray. In fact, hugs are the best things in the world when words fail.<br />
<br />
Writing this I am realising how selfish this is - that I'm asking others to care about me, to think of me, to reach out to me, me, me. I don't want to be a selfish person, or a needy person, but I am reaching out cos as much as I have my loved ones, loneliness is still a killer. Stress and anxiety create such walls that are very hard to do a DIY knock-down.<br />
<br />
I'm tired, constantly stressed, I cry in the car and I cry at home and I wipe my tears and put on my happy face and try to take pretty pictures of pretty fabrics cos really, people don't want to know. I guess I get that. But at the moment, not knowing, not caring, not saying a word, not giving a shit is what hurts. <br />
<br />
And it hurts like hell.<br />
<br />
Do you hurt like hell sometimes?<br />
<br />

I'm being so so so good! No fabric at all! I'm looking but not touching..actually I'm not really looking! A GREAT day at GJs Fabric Store, in Brunswick yesterday, sewing with my MMQG peeps - a great group - positive, friendly, generous, funny, loyal - we have a great year ahead of us, I can feel it in my bones! - BUT I am digressing.....I spent 7 hours in very close proximity of a great quilting store with oodles and oodles of tempting fabric, but I did not even look! Okay, I had a peek, but I was strong and stayed true to my FA Pledge sisters!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have taken some piccies of another part of my fabric collection - vintage linen tea towels!! I read on a FB site somewhere, someone was amazed that some 20 year olds did not recognise a Tea Towel!!! What the? Who would not know what a tea towel was? There was much spluttering as you could imagine!! hehe!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love love love collecting vintage linen for the kitchen - the softer it is the better!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first one is a super favourite - colour, graphic print and softness '8'</div>

This one I bought from Liberty, in London - probably cos I just wanted to buy something from the store! I thought it was fun, using a vintage teatowel 'Australia', with fabric paint design ' rock on tea time, it's cake o'clock' over the top - colour bright, softness '6'</div>

I love this one too - made in Ulster, Ireland (which often are the best!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It reminded me of a quilt pattern - imagine the applique you could design from this!</div>

Just a little glimpse into what is in my third drawer down - I love to fill it with freshly laundered, smoothly ironed, pieces of textile history - history that I may not know of, but lays there, ready for use all the same :)<br />

Hey, lets be real here and state upfront that searching and researching fabric for colour, design, usability, and just all out gorgeousness is a major part of my sewing hobby. Along with that searching comes wanting and along with the wanting comes purchasing and along with the purchasing comes receiving. Oh yes, that can possibly be the best part.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But maybe, just maybe that rush of buying and holding that fabric wears off all too quick and I need to go in for more.</div>

I have been so so so good .....so far - I have bought fabric but only in 2013!!! Got in at last minute and that will do me.....I have received packages on my doorstep which the family say 'really Mum? You couldn't last 1 minute'.....hahaha bought last year I tell them!!! big raspberry!<br />
<br />
One little tiny teeny weeny hiccup last week when I bought this most amazing fabric Folkloric in Talavera Garden - goes absolutely positively perfect as a backing for my Granny Squares quilt top - so this little wonder was allowed!!!!!<br />

I am resisting well I think - and I love that my friends are helping to keep me in check - LOVE that!<br />
<br />
As part of the pledge - I need to work through my UFOs - this can be hard, as they are UFOs for a reason, are they not? I do need to decide if some are just not worth any more energy and maybe donate unfinished to somewhere....<br />
<br />
Meanwhile......strength will be a motto for me this year - strength physically and emotionally; especially strengthening bonds between those who want to build and leaving aside those who only tear down. I don't want to end this post on a downer, so.......<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild Inc. is now open for memberships!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a great friendly group of ladies (or <i>laydees</i> as one friend likes to pretend) who meet in the fantastic venue of GJs fabric store, in Brunswick. T-riffic place for a guild to sew in - big, bright, roomy tables and tall cutting tables, mats, irons, and best of all - a quilting/fabric store right at our fingertips!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are not super modern with our sewing - no modern quilting police here! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We embrace lots of different styles, techniques and really just want to Sew Our Stuff!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also embrace lots of different personalities: loud, quiet, cheeky, humble, AND we have some killer cooks in our midst - I mean 'good' :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have met the most lovely people here and I find every time I go to sew I learn a little bit more about those around me and that we are all the same - you know? We all have worries, and sickness in the family and children-raising stories and problems with threading the machine or getting a block right and this group allows you to explore these things, talk about these things, bounce ideas and give suggestions, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AND</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Play With Fabric that only quilters and sewers understand.<br />
<br />
For those who can't get to Brunswick or any sewing meet here, our Facebook page is perfect to keep in touch with how everyone is going with their quilty endeavours - lots of fun chat, photos, quilty q&a and sometimes a recipe thrown in to boot!!<br />
<br />
The current Committee of volunteers have put a lot of blood sweat and tears into getting this group incorporated - these are people who have their own busy lives, their own jobs, family, studies, yet have spent an enormous amount of time and effort into getting this group official. Bravo to them!</div>

Okey Kokey - Chez Whippet Good has been AWOL for awhile - life has been interesting here for past two months to say the least - and not much sewing has been going on - BUT I will show you what has happened cos when you have to, you have to, even when you don't want to look at fabric, or think about someone's pattern or pick up a rotary cutter, or even look at the mess of your room. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some days it's been hard to get out of bed, hard to get in the car to go to work and hard to even open your mouth to say hello. Turning the edges of the mouth up has been hard lately. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

These photos have reminded me of how much I do like my colours and fun prints and a simple block</div>

A little request for a comfy back pillow in blues and I threw this together - it was fun except the end bits did my head in (follow a pattern - no way! this little black duck does things off the fly - and usually gets it wrong!) but it worked out in the end.....phew! Loved using some Echino cockatiels and some velveteen AMH.<br />

A little packet of Amy Butlers Soul Blossom charm squares has sat on my desk for a while, looking at me, wooing me over, until I could take it No More - a little or rather, big-little blankie for my sewing machine - the colours are so so so pretty, with a dash of Kaffe thrown in for good measure - the colours scream SPRING to me - maybe a garish Spring but I like that!!</div>

Just a 'little' montage of my just completed <a href="http://aprilrhodes.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/spring-is-here-and-so-is-staple-happy.html">Staple Dress</a>; it was a pdf download, printed out, stuck together, transfered onto interfacing as the template and sewn together!! I am just a little bit CHUFFED! (As a side note - I like Urban Dictionary's definition no. 3 <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21px;">To be quite pleased with oneself in the manner of a child going potty unassisted.</span> Yes I can go to potty unassisted AND I can sew a dress!!!

<span style="text-align: center;">Instructions were great - except for the pockets - I didn't understand one word of it really, but just closed my eyes and crossed my fingers -yes, I did this and sewed at the same time ;) and they came out Okay! The shirring didn't quite work either - I decided to just do the back - I got one row to work, but couldn't get the elastic to repeat its magic again....that's fine - I'll wear it with a belt I think, which does the same thing really.</span><br />

<br />
It was super hard to get a good photo - so you have to excuse the weird and wonderful photography :)<br />
<br />
A big cyberhug for all the people who went above and beyond what was asked for - which was everyone, by the way! <br />
<br />
Now, what to do??? I think a thin sashing and border is needed, and THEN, how to quilt it? Simple large quilting all over to not clash with the complexity of the blocks? Basic crosshatch? Giant loops? Or Individual quilting custom for each block? I so want to do this justice :)<br />

<i>Geronimo </i>(if you really can't work it out) is the catchcry of the 11th Doctor Who - a yell of adventure, taking a leap, going into the unknown. I knew instantly that I wanted to make this word. Don't know why...it just came into my head and there it stayed, never swaying - of course I had to have an exclaimation mark on the end - wouldn't be right without it. My Whovian daughter LOVED it and I have promise to make it again - methinks a Word quilt is in the pipeworks!!!<br />
<br />
Cat has also just told me that her daughter loves Geronimo Stilton - a fantastic and popular series of primary school-age books about a mouse on adventures! Score on two accounts!! I am really looking forward to what everyone else comes up with...so far there is <i>Quilt.</i>.and <i>Create</i>...<br />

There is always something more pressing or interesting - well,<br />
<br />
I have completed a lovely little neck scarf (is there any other kind???) made from a random scrap piece of Liberty Silk Jersey I picked up from Shaukrat in London - it feels just devine - I tell, you, I could wear this fabric all day all over, under and over clothes - it is sooo soft and silky and pretty to boot!<br />

A vintage piece of cotton was given to me from someone (my mum I think given to her by an elderly friend)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Very narrow - how funny - and crisp almost stiff</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Didn't have a clue what to do with it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but it is has been hemmed either end, and with a very nice and neat selvedge it will be an outdoor table runner for summer! Oh Yes - planning summer already hehe! I love an outdoor tablecloth and I've got a little collection of good vintage fabrics (read sheets!) in fun colours for some warm and colourful dining.</div>

Well, my reveal is My Liberty Squares Quilt top is SEWN - a looong time coming - first blogged about them August 2011 - so Yes, nearly 2 years for them to be actually sewn up!!! Is this usual for you? It actually has never bothered me that I have plodded along with this one. They have just been quietly sitting there waiting for me to spy them amongst the rabble and pick them, sew a couple of 9 patches and put them away again...bless their little cotton socks!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Had to show you a photo of some of them committing harikari off my design wall - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enough they said - sew us up!!!</div>

From a couple of humble packets of 2.5" squares of all different Liberty fabrics, bought off ebay I think, sewn with Pure Elements in Ivory - a sweet, gentle white, with a fine thread weave not unlike the Liberty. </div>

A match made in heaven. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

It is a little small - so a bit of a border in white I think - I do have some Liberty 1/2ms for the backing - what fun to have a hunt for those pieces!</div>

We do love them in our house - our girls go flat out each long term, so school hols are times of sleeping, lazying, telly watching and cooking! Lots of cooking lately, so the kitchen is in permanent state of mess. The dishwasher never works so hard than in school hols lol!</div>

A hardback edition of The most amazing book - written entirely by a man who, at 42, suffered a stroke which left him entirely paralized, bar his left eyelid. He dictated his story with one eyelid, which is not only an incredible thing to do, but his writing draws you in; funny, witty, incredibly sad. I read this book about 15 years ago, and loved it then and love it now. So pleased I found a copy at a secondhand bookshop for $9. This was my best treasure found in Hobart.</div>

MY month for the Bee was April and I have received The Most Fabulous Blocks!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I realised that I have a HUGE collection of red and aqua, with quite a bit of teal thrown in as well - it is obviously what I gravitate towards when fabric surfing online and in shops and really, it was getting ridiculous, so this is what I chose for my colour theme (with a little bit of soft orange in for good luck)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwp6NsEzyGhA9of5K69ufBuRkiXJgc4UeegifAImv7oKqxiIjcmCbwmsHR-hUDgOLD4LzEferGawVbbZHINvRZWSQwgPLgQ1kxKslhd8bCmCyZYhqlrjsETTpFknTyZov7r_6xjg/s1600/IMG_4453.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwp6NsEzyGhA9of5K69ufBuRkiXJgc4UeegifAImv7oKqxiIjcmCbwmsHR-hUDgOLD4LzEferGawVbbZHINvRZWSQwgPLgQ1kxKslhd8bCmCyZYhqlrjsETTpFknTyZov7r_6xjg/s320/IMG_4453.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose the block theme as anything the Bee members liked from the <a href="http://www.freshlemonsquilts.com/?page_id=1105">Summer Sampler Series, by Fresh Lemon Quilts </a> - and some other fave blocks I posted about. I think that it can be difficult to be given carte blanche on the block that you have to produce - but it also may challenge people to try a block they have been thinking of for awhile, or can give them a needed break by choosing something simple - simple or not, I was happy with what ever was chosen. Even multiple blocks of the same pattern was not an issue - everyone got a fairly unique package of fabric to choose from.</div>

I am on a roll!<br />This looovely quilt by Tina Seaside Stitches is my inspiration to tackle my next Paper Piecing Project PPP! <br /><br />I have fallen in love with the greens and blues and aquas and limes of these batiks and well, frankly I am going to copy it - well, you know make it my own ;)<br /><br />The pattern is <a href="http://www.twiddletails.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69&products_id=405">on sale atm here!</a> :<br /><br />and I have my lovely pile of ice blues and deep forest greens and tropical aquas and chartreusy limes batiks - all had a throughly good wash and dry and ready for action.<br /><br />Now I know a few friends had wanted to have a go too - Jeannette and Janine? Want to start one too?<br /><br />This pattern really is a good one for Paper piecing beginners - just lots of good ol straight lines though you have to make sure you use plenty of fabric to cover the triangles.<br /><br />Can I also recommend some Foundation Paper for the piecing - I am using Carol Doak's Foundation Paper (100 sheets) - she is the Dame when it comes to PP! <a href="http://www.ozquilts.com.au/carol-doaks-foundation-paper-100-sheets-p17197.html">I got mine here:</a><br /><br />Check out the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/geeseintheforest/">Flickr group for more Geese in the Forest</a>!<br /><br /><i>Via Flickr:</i><br />blogged about here: <a href="http://seaside-stitches.blogspot.com/2009/10/ready-for-quilt-show.html" rel="nofollow">seaside-stitches.blogspot.com/2009/10/ready-for-quilt-sho...</a>Bronwynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14949924320993338258noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414599.post-11708062255787178672013-05-17T13:46:00.000+10:002013-05-17T13:46:44.045+10:00Little blue box

Wow - <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/2183212@N20/">a paper pieced block</a> that looks pretty complicated, but no, not really. After being thrown in the deep end with a PP block for a bee member, I swallowed a bit of water, but started to swim and made it.</div>

After perservering with a machine that is temperamental and tantrum-inducing, I may just have it behaving nicely....just very cautious to not jinx it ...I think I do a little meditation before I even look its way....like deep breathing, thinking good thoughts, and trying to be all zen about it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hasn't bloody worked in the long past, but...I am surprising myself by not throwing out the top storey window :)</div>

This is my sister - she may not thank me for posting her photo here - I also had ones with her and me, but I am <i>so ghastly</i> in photos it is not funny and sometimes it is....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
unfortuately, her fiance (at the time) was not able to get here in time for gift giving before the wedding, which I so wanted him for.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She and I and everyone there cried and hugged and it was a very emotional gift giving and receiving. I am so so glad that both she and her man love it dearly, which warms my heart so much.</div>

The Oakshott quilt - now renamed '<span style="font-size: large;">Burn</span>' because......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their wedding quilt - not for 'the bed' as seems so smirkly suggested, but just a couch quilt to snuggle under was quickly designed once a pattern from Oakshott website was seen through a link:<a href="http://www.helenhowestextiles.co.uk/kitsandpatterns/tigertiger.html">H elen Howes Textiles Tiger Tiger</a> - titled from William Blake's poem: <i>Tiger Tiger Burning Bright</i> </div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After much play and thought and play and reconsideration of placement of blocks, I liked a more vertical arrangement, making them more as trees (in my mind). I was being led to a more organic state of mind, thinking of sky sun and earth being so similar from both bride and groom's background.</div>

It was my expression of the two countries of Australia and South Africa being one - having so much colour in common - deep blue hues for sky, hot burning yellows and oranges for the sun and earthy reds and browns for earth, touched with cool greens for the flora and blues for the waters.</div>

Kerrie from BlackForest Quilting in Macedon came to my rescue after tears of frustration at my quilting machine and helped realise my dream of how I thought it could be. 'Cool Water' was the quilting pattern for majority of the quilt - thanks to <a href="http://goneaussiequilting.blogspot.com.au/">Jeannette</a> for this suggestion - it was perfect.</div>
