About Me



Hello

I'm Julie, and I live in Auckland, New Zealand.

I am a wife to The Scout, and mum to Miss B and Mr J.  I may mention them in posts or show occasional activity pictures of them, (usually a back view too)  but that is pretty much it.

This blog is about the things that make me happy.
  • Quilting - which is usually colourful and scrappy, maybe a little bohemian , often hand quilted too.  This page shows an overview of all the quilts I have made and links to the blog posts.
  • Hand craft projects - EPP, felt applique, embroidery
  • Making clothes - 2018 has been the year I fell back into making my own clothes.  I have found that I prefer Indie patterns rather than the usual commercial patterns available.  Everything is sewn on my trusty Janome 2160DC, as yet I don't have an overlocker (serger). 
  • Books - I absolutely adore reading , and luckily enough I work for Auckland Libraries, so my habit is well and truly supported.  I still prefer a proper book though and haven't converted to e-books.
  • Cooking - I love to cook and bake - all sorts of different and tasty foods.  
  • Gardening - my garden, beautiful gardens I visit, gorgeous flowers
  • Hiking - this is a relatively new interest, but it is something I enjoy doing with The Scout, Miss B and Mr J.  I haven't quite developed a love of long carry all your worldly belongings in a pack for a week tramps yet - I think I like my flushing toilets and hot showers a little too much for that.
