Welcome to Shiralee Stitches. I live on a cattle farm in Australia with my family.
I am passionate about all things fabric so much so I started my own online and mobile store. Link is on the sidebar to my store. I teach patchwork classes and take my shop to quilting and patchwork groups and also attend various craft markets.
I love English Paper Piecing, applique, machine quilting, working with woven wools. I have started making my own designs which I love.

Just made it!!!!!.........

The stitch-a-long deadline is very close, like a night away!!!!......so I have been sewing helter skelter and finally have a completed quilt top to share....whew....(wiping brow!!!)

Sadly work and play have interrupted the finishing schedule so sandwiching, quilting and binding will be on hold for now.

.......so......drum roll please...........here 'tis........my Some Kind of Wonderful quilt top.....

I have enjoyed all the applique, although needleturning is so very time consuming, but I am pleased with the result.......

My friend and stitch-a-long 'supervisor' (whip cracker!!!!) will be very pleased to hear of this quilt top finish as many who started with the SAL in the beginning are a long way from the finish line......

I have been up to Brisbane for the Craft Fair since I last posted....and.....um......well......there was some damage, of the $$$$ kind if you get my drift!!!!!........oh well......I am sure they were all necessary purchases.....I'm quite sure!!!!!!!.......more of that to follow........

Tis the Season progress....

Life is back to normal routines here after a lovely Easter break....
Before I get totally consumed with Royal Wedding watching ( I have a big session of stitching and watching and maybe a little glass of  wine or 2!), I thought I'd better show you all that I have been busy during this month catching up with my Stitch-a-long blocks..............

Feels a bit funny stitching Xmas at this time of year....am I early for this year, or very late from last year?
Here's a piccie of all my completed blocks so far....I love them all together......
Can you spot the problem?......... I have only just noticed that my little birds are floating....oh dear I forgot their perch....not to worry....I can fix that very soon......
It is a beautiful day here today, after lots of rain....got to do some washing now........I'm trying to send the rain to Chookyblue, and I'm hoping since it's fine here that my plans worked????? So....is it raining for you Chooky??
