But before I take you on my journey to see Peru , there are some things I need to show you and talk about . This years secret society project is all finished ( the binding and quilting now done since this photo) each block was inspired by a collection of old quilts and has a new story , so those you made it on our journey know that each stitch of Redwork means something . The bonus project of small houses will also be a delight .
The Redwork club is now open for new members , check out our website for details but it’s going to be a corker , 5 inch hexies , quilted as you go, depicting a 1950s style theme of children , animals and toys , very nostalgic and pretty with lots of gingham, and the odd dot!
Bear Hug Club is in full swing , there is a waiting list for the next club with a different bear, Harrie is the girl to call .
Jess is manning my Substack account At home with Mandy , and this where you go for a deeper look into my crazy life and makings, stories and free patterns and videos .
Vicki is back from maternity leave and all those machine embroidery fans out there , watch this space , she is on a roll and will be downloading new designs very shortly .
May was a big, big birthday month for our family, Mr Shaw was 70 and five other members of our family had a B/day, and one of the highlights was a trip to . If you have never been it is just wonderful, one of the best theatrical things I have ever seen .
Now I am off on a trip to the capital city of Peru , Lima. Just love this jet lag , get so much done !
