a traditional kind of Australian quilt made from whatever could be found, scraps of clothing or blankets, tailors samples, flour bags etc. Simple, rustic, functional..... you get the idea. Anyhow, a couple of months ago at the Waverley Patchworkers meeting, the club had been given a lot of wool/alpaca samples which were being handed out to anyone who wanted to make something from them. I've never been one to pass up free fabric. It was beautiful quality fabric but a bugger to sew. All soft and wiggly. Those who know me will be aware that I'm just a wee bit obssesive, compulsive, neat, precise, careful. I have trouble being messy. It took me years to even create something that wasn't symetrical. So as waggas go this is as rustic as I get! Not quite finished....still have to finish the binding.

cute puddy
he's gorgeous. Looks like he knows it too.
Hi Nadie, haven't seen you for sooooo long. You're all grown up now. So is Daniel, he was 22 last week. He's got a new greek girlfriend and we're both learning to speak greek at the moment. Charlie is a really sweet natured cat. Makes it a bit difficult to sew at times when he decides to curl up in the middle of whatever I'm doing
are you bringing Charlie with you when you come to visit on the swap meet weekend?
No. Daniel will be puddy sitting while I'm away.
I'm a member of Waverley and I am THRILLED to see what you've done with the wagga - it is FABULOUS! Just love it - hope you're really happy with the outcome.
