Vaniquilt
This is my blog about my journey in setting up my quilting business "Vanita's Quilting Services". After a long career in IT, I am looking to change direction. I want to do something that I enjoy and have a passion for, rather than sitting in boring meetings, rushing to meet crazy deadlines and listening to IT jargon all day.

Sew Me Silly!!!! Finish 100 items in 100 days.
Sew me Silly: Finish one hundred items in 100 days
Welcome to the day that is, the day that starts it all, the day when I think I might be a better person; the day when I begin the finishing off of one hundred things in one hundred days.
I love to sew, to embroider, to pick and nick and tuck and rip.
Mostly I love sewing for my grandchildren - six of them under six and one on the way - designer outfits, appliqué play clothes, dolls and toys.
I love to sew for my daughters and my son- quilts mostly.

MY HOLIDAY IN BEAUTIFUL HAWAII
Aloha
When my husband and I decided to go to Hawaii, we didn't know quite what to expect, other than that everyone we told who had been there previously, had only positive comments. Many returned each year.
We went with open minds, determined to relax and enjoy ourselves. The weather was perfect.

Sideline season
The changing seasons bring about a different sideline for our family, and I'm preparing another portable hand-pieced project. You may have seen some giftwrapping paper that's been inspired by vintage quilts...I've drafted the continuous-chain design to share with my patchwork friends and worked up a test block that's 3in x 6in finished size.
It's a scrappy project - the original was made with prints of any colour, mostly reds and dark-value ones. My could end up all reds and browns, with a dash of yellow, I'll see how the 200+ blocks come together.

Australian Patchwork & Quilting magazine
Welcome to my first attempt at blogging. I've been told I need to embrace technology and the wonderful wide world of electronic communication, which I have resisted to date.
As editor of Australian Patchwork & Quilting magazine, I hope I can inspire you with ideas and I'd like to share some of my experiences in my involvement with the magazine and our wonderful hobby with you.

So you know the day has not quite gone the way you expected when you squeeze chocolate sauce on your chippy sandwich!!!!!!
Had a Curriculum meeting today and the boss brought along hot chips. Clearly an example of not trusting the label, the BBQ sauce was replaced with chocolate sauce. Not that I am a fan of sauce at all - but when you have already been at school for 9 hours, have marked 52 responses and taught four classes you are not perhaps reading as you should.
Anyway. After another meeting I am home, 13 hour day. woo hoo.
I have revived and rejuvenated with Chai tea and managed to add three more owls to the finished list.
Black and white spotty own and two friends. Down to 87 items with 97 days to go.
Very happy.
