Chooky and Jules..........

Loving all the chatter on the blog.......be brave a join in the conversation........

So for the few that have not met me I'm Chookyblue or Chooky as everyone calls me at these sewing days............
I love nothing more then getting together with sewing friends........at home or away............
I was so sad when Kerry said she was no longer running Girls Day in the Country........Our annual pilgrimage where a lot of us girls met due to blogging.........
I had thought of this venue for quiet some time and sparked by the terror of not have a big catch up with the girls I decided to organised Scrub Stitchin'
My buddy Sonia is brave/silly enough to join me in the crazy idea........
Miss Jules my partner in crime all things quilty who lives just down the road is our sounding board for some of the ideas we have.........shes been great.........
So here we have a pic of Miss Jules on the left.........now I know she won't introduce her self on here so I will.............
She is a bit of a batik fan, bright kaffes, mutted colours..........when she first started quilting she had no idea what she was doing.......she had done some dress making and cross stitch..........she was very meek and mild and not confident to offer advice at all but believe me she has grown and come so far........she won't hold back now in giving her opinion.....in the nicest possible way.....making you change blocks around (for the better) helping choose fabrics............
early on her stash was contained in a brown paper bag.......not a big one a sandwich size one......OMG.......its ok we fixed that issue............shes very industrious and gets projects finished (unlike me).............and best of all she loves coming to the Chookshed and sewing with me.........
&&&&
Me on the other hand.....(on the right in the pic).......I'm so lucky to have a Chookshed aka sewing shed and plenty of space for friends to join me........just not 32 at once.......
I love EPP..........actually lets rephrase that I have a huge addiction to EPP, if it was a drug I would need to go to rehab fast.........I love fussy cutting too.......
as Lea puts it I do have quite a few fancy rulers.........
also enjoy stitchery, applique and anything patchwork really........
looking forward to meeting you all.......
I'll be bringing some sewing machine and hand work..........
I like to mix it up......
&&&&
Also I will have Fairy Girl aka Georgia with me...........shes in yr 11 at boarding school and loves time in the Chookshed when she is home........
She has a free mind of rules and how you do stuff and I love seeing her make things happen.........who knows what she will be working on this weekend.........
Catch you later.......
Chookyblue.........

PS I hope a few more of you girls do an intro.............

PSS Bring your walking gear as I love walking at sunrise and/or sunset...........
think boot camp/sewing camp............
you can't sit on your butt all day........
