On Thursday night Barbara and I went to see "The Great Gatsby" - 3D version. I really enjoyed it, especially the "look" of the whole film - costumes, sets etc were fabulous. Saturday evening I went to see it again - this time with Mum; the 2D version. Enjoyed it just as much - probably easier to watch because I didn't have to wear the 3D glasses over my own glasses, but I think I prefer the movie in 3D.
Over the last few months I've been stitching a Lynette Anderson Christmas mini-quilt (from "Stitch it for Christmas"). It's taken me ages to stitch this at work during lunchtimes - crosswords take up a fair bit of our break. Hopefully the mini-quilt will be finished for Christmas this year.

My quilting sewing machine has been away for a service and I needed to try it out because Paula is coming back to quilt her Floral Bouquet. I put Ruby Chain (based on Island Chain in one of Kim Brackett's scrap books) onto the frame.

It took just over an hour to quilt and the binding has been stitched on ready to be sewn down some time soon. The binding is made from the backing trimmed off after the quilting was finished. I love Bonnie and Camille fabrics, even more with polka dot background fabric.
Some of the secret sewing is finished. A bit more sewing on the second part and I can post it away.
10 sleeps till
Diann and
Lorraine arrive in Sydney - can't wait!

Your quilt looks great! I've got that book and wondered how the quilt would look made out of non-batiks. You've convinced me!
These are looking just amazing thanks for the sharing and keep up the good work.
