<p>Now I was only dating my husband to be in 1991, I hadn't starting quilting and when you look at the instructions in the book there is only scissors used to cut fabric and everything is done with graph paper and templates. A really old school book.</p>

<p>So I delved into this book looking at the projects and thought some little pin cushions would be fun to make. Then I had to get the graph paper out to draw up the block as it tells you to trace the line drawing and make templates for you to them cut out the fabric. Look at these instructions.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhETI9uaJo-zpKcAtEZwBtnDOmW02alBW0nxELHU6sQf1qVgWo5R8fcUIRsfXk4RGXUcJWT9olMNabG4CxiFrpMGUbek-rhFyK7r37-_T-KDN8we6uCdVGyB9qbCuSU3pyAtNKVbzCrn7YgoFT35QUZ5riwOXtIz9xak_3kE5t7qHPz6N6nMbVwp85OwA/s4000/IMG_20230309_083321.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2499" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhETI9uaJo-zpKcAtEZwBtnDOmW02alBW0nxELHU6sQf1qVgWo5R8fcUIRsfXk4RGXUcJWT9olMNabG4CxiFrpMGUbek-rhFyK7r37-_T-KDN8we6uCdVGyB9qbCuSU3pyAtNKVbzCrn7YgoFT35QUZ5riwOXtIz9xak_3kE5t7qHPz6N6nMbVwp85OwA/w250-h400/IMG_20230309_083321.jpg" width="250" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>My theory is if I draw it up on graph paper that will tell me how big each piece is and I can cut my fabric out using my rotary cutter.

You will find the shop, the blog, Class/workshop program, and there will be a helpful tips section coming soon.

So you may think not a lot is happening. In reality it is the opposite, so much is happening that I haven't had time to write any post. Something had to be dropped while other stuff needed to be done. I wish I could keep up with everything, but it is just not possible. </p><p>The biggest project happening at the moment is the upgrade to the website. A whole new look, new features, easy to use for all I hope and a lot more features for the future. Basically it will be a new home for Cynthia's Ark.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjc9YcaDg8wG8QtdWL_DtHrkCQ3YfSytzx9sZd5M09JXYs4UNxCMobCILYqT6ln-owZR-2sAYOBOEDoUEg60aMWQ2aFpIL-BvpadFjcsgiDvsc0Mw7S-gmHXeGjdFDYfy4pzoIYOgJhqQa/s2048/IMG_20210710_080122.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1329" data-original-width="2048" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjc9YcaDg8wG8QtdWL_DtHrkCQ3YfSytzx9sZd5M09JXYs4UNxCMobCILYqT6ln-owZR-2sAYOBOEDoUEg60aMWQ2aFpIL-BvpadFjcsgiDvsc0Mw7S-gmHXeGjdFDYfy4pzoIYOgJhqQa/w400-h260/IMG_20210710_080122.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>Plus there should be room for us to grow with the new site.

Sorry to my online followers with the website out of action theses specials are in store only, but I am happy to take phone orders within Australia. If you see something over the month and can't get to the shop, don't hesitate to call me and place an order. The big special for July is all Christmas fabric is 20% off including the new arrivals. This special runs for the whole month of July.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6aWAYnLoiWSGsIy03Erxq-cKqx0lUuGm6ocwJcKsUJv_Y_8YpE2DXGKUvzINhqUh_T7EDsnhAGnu36I6MZkrwONhVzUk1P1jEzxlFsjw1txJHucNgRCWvagNN25IflHNzw0lSYfUcT8_R/s2048/IMG20210709090150.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6aWAYnLoiWSGsIy03Erxq-cKqx0lUuGm6ocwJcKsUJv_Y_8YpE2DXGKUvzINhqUh_T7EDsnhAGnu36I6MZkrwONhVzUk1P1jEzxlFsjw1txJHucNgRCWvagNN25IflHNzw0lSYfUcT8_R/s320/IMG20210709090150.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>On top of the fabric special each week we will have another special running to tempt you even more to visit the shop in person. This week we have a favourite of mine. I love running it and I probably should run it more often. It is the Panel Special. Buy 3 panels for the price of 2. Select 3 panels and the cheapest panel is free. We have a good variety of panels. As you can see the panel section is full and I still have more to hang that have arrived recently. Our variety of Australian themed panels have double recently with map panels, more animals and landscape views being added to current panel stock.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirFLReGDBoJBg3qR6IS-dHtA8w8DoGzOGTZTt_yaoJC9BDJvXMcttnG0T1fYKEyeP-VGJlAFPAtz1AFGXmmsQgLa0yZrPB1PaAShNDUu9VBHRZFjqGZ-6z7-TyT5o0OaGTW74Ez-C8kK4a/s2048/IMG20210709083000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirFLReGDBoJBg3qR6IS-dHtA8w8DoGzOGTZTt_yaoJC9BDJvXMcttnG0T1fYKEyeP-VGJlAFPAtz1AFGXmmsQgLa0yZrPB1PaAShNDUu9VBHRZFjqGZ-6z7-TyT5o0OaGTW74Ez-C8kK4a/s320/IMG20210709083000.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Don't forget our panel competition too.

You can find my original post here.</p><p>These are not small blocks and they take a bit of time to make with 20 pieces per block. So you have to make the sub blocks first lay out your block before you can sew the block together. Well in the end I didn't make it. I did get 3 of the blocks completed. That is at least half of the blocks done. </p><p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They make great quick presents for all sorts of occasions. I have made my share of them over the years. You can keep them simple or you can go to town on them and create an elaborate creation.

I got as far as turning the lights on and putting the machine on the table and the power went out. That stuffed my plan up and the power wasn't due to return to 1 am. No sewing.</p><p>Thursday was looking promising the plan was an afternoon of sewing.
