A New House

After a troubled few years and moving away, we have been living in temporary accomodation.  Today we bought a removal house.  It should be on our property in mid November.  Lots of work ahead but exciting to finally have a new home to live in. 

I can see lots of work and lots of potential.

I love the wood floors.  It is a small house.  3 bedrooms.  One will become my craft/sewing room.  

With just the two of us living here permanently - the last few years has seen us become empty nesters!  

I am looking forward to the journey ahead and creating our new home together.

My other work lately has involved completing the final borders of the Insanity Quilt.

A quilt started 12 years ago as a holiday project.  My first English Paper Piecing Project.  I had no idea what I was doing, but 12 years on, I have enjoyed my journey.  Looking forward to completing it.  

This quilt was given to the long arm quilter to work her magic on.  

A pretty quilt in 1930s fabrics.  The pattern is Prairie Star by Missouri Star Quilt Co.

We are moving there, fixing our house here and putting i...
