Progress Not......

Progress on natures journey is slow....  To much happening..   
It will happen..... Somehow.... 
Nancy @ Near Phillip was cleaning out some stuff..... She very kindly sent me this kit..... Love the fabrics.... And it will be a good challenge for me.... Thanks Nancy 
Kate Henderson released another book that I had to have.... You can find Kate @ Two Little Banshees......I love her quilts....  She makes gorgeous clothes to.... . An aussie designer toooo
######
Went and saw a movie last night..... So funny ok I think Kate @ show and tell and I were the only people in the theatre who hadn't had hip replacements....... We watched 'The lady and the van '
I do enjoy Maggie Smith..... It was a bit different but I really enjoyed it..... Some funny moments..... And you have to watch all of it to link up some past secrets of her life......it's been years since I went to a movie let alone on its release date..... I could count on my fingers how many times I've been to the movies.....  But I did have a great evening. .   
Catch you later....

I love Maggie Smith. We saw the shorts for that movie when we saw the movie Suffragette a couple of weeks ago, and thought it would be a good one to go see.

Slow progress is better than no progress!! It will happen! That is a lovely kit you have been given. I too love Maggie Smith, and hope to see this movie. Just watched her in a DVD last night called Keeping Mum, enjoyed it very much.

Good to hear you and Kate were the spring chickens at the movies...xox

I imagine you two had a gret time. Too many distractions to get to NJ - but we are all hoping it happens for you....soon??

Queen Of The Armchair aka Dzintra Stitcheries said...

You'll get there! That block holder looks cool...is there a pattern for that?

loulee said...

Oooh! I'm off to see that movie next week. Looking forward to it. Making a day of it with lunch with a girlfriend before hand.

Can't see you finishing your quilt . I am quilting my Owls tomorrow.

Dasha said...

I love Maggie Smith in anything she does, but I particularly liked her in Downton Abbey. She was so absolutely perfectly cast for her character, and her one liners are a hoot.

KimM said...

Beautiful fabric. Looking forward to seeing your quilt take shape.

Jo said...

Solstitches said...

I would like to see that movie. Love everything Maggie Smith does.
Looks like a good book and that's a lovely kit too.

gracie said...

Love the new kit. You know you will get your current project completed.....I think Maggie Smith is great.

Linda said...

The last movie I went to was for my 40th birthday.....some friends took me....that was 20 years ago on Sunday. I love the new kit too but I'm so far behind in the quilting arena that I think I'm first....in fact I just found some "pinks" that I had looked at in my stash about five years ago and thought I'd have to use them in a scrappy they were so outdated......now they are back in "fashion".

Interesting projects, Chookyblue - keep going!! I'm off to see that movie on Tuesday. Best thing I did was join a movie club; we go once a month. Haven't seen so many movies in years!!

Susie said...

Love that pattern and fabric. I was thinking I might take mum to that movie.

Melody said...

I've been looking forward to that film coming out, l love Maggie Smith too.

Narelle said...

All in good time.
Can't remember when I last went to the movies :)

Anthea said...

I really like Kate's books too Chooky - achieveable even for dunces like me! I need to go order mine now!
Sounds like it was a great movie... and fab company too x

Annie said...

I might have to go and see that one. I haven't been to the movies in AGES

Motherdragon's Musings said...

Arh, great minds. I to went and saw Lady in a Van, on Thursday, release day. with my Mum and youngest sister. we all enjoyed it. Though I was worn out after it, and flew back to the bush on Friday.

Janice said...

It looks like you will have pie,nth to do when you finish Natures Journey. Glad you had a trip to the pictures.

Ondrea said...

How did I miss this post? Great idea getting the fabric kit and I am sure your NJ quilt will come along nicely. Who can resist a good patchwork book? After all, I reckon it is better value to buy books which have heaps of projects you kniw you will make some day rather than pay for mags that may only have 1 or 2 projects to your liking. I love Maggie Smith too. Good to see you had a good laugh. Great for the soul.

Carole said...

Thanks for the book recommendation. Did buy it and I love it! Cheers!
