23.01.2022 Now that restrictions have lifted and small groups are allowed, I am taking bookings for Stitching in the Mountains. These will be small groups (no more than six to a group) coming here to have a relaxing day out, stitching, colouring and having a lovely day in the fresh air. Bookings can be taken for any day of the week. You can even book into a B&B for a night (there are some lovely ones in the area) and book two days in a row.... So gather your friends, fill a car or two, and come see me high on the mountain top. $120 per person includes morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a preprint kit of your choosing, to stitch the day away. 9am to 4.30pm Come share the beautiful mountains with me. Bookings being taken now and at this stage restricted to one group a week so be quick. Phone Nikki or John on 0402281300.

23.01.2022 Are you coming or are you just watching to see how much fun we have this weekend in Bundaberg with 2 Chicks and a sewing machine? Contact Gemma as I think there might be a space left???

22.01.2022 Well all my designing and stitching is ‘secret squirrel’ at the moment so I thought I’d share some lovely flowering plants you might like to add to the garden. These I had the lovely pleasure of seeing in Toowoomba at the Garden show.. Flowers certainly inspire me.

22.01.2022 Ive always loved the movie Avatar and to find some of their inspiring plants, inspired me! Love nature and its amazing plants!

21.01.2022 So, Im off to the local market this week to sell some of my shop leftovers.. hope you will come for a drive and check out the scenery. I will also have my crazy amount of citrus from the back garden.. if you want anything specific please let me know by pm as I cant take everything with me

21.01.2022 There’s limited places left so if you want to join in.... please hurry to save disappointment.. A full stitching kit, including EVERYTHING you need, just bring yourself, maybe a friend or two, and enjoy a relaxing day, or weekend...

21.01.2022 And so the start to getting back to normal begins... Lets all get together and celebrate friendship with the Quilters Angel. So excited to be back designing again and I just LOVE the fabrics and colours for this years Stitchers Dream Day Out. Book soon as Ive heard the places are filling fast..

21.01.2022 I made a new friend this week on a group I was interested in... Christine Stevens... I was asking her advice on something... turns out shes from Australia and has been stitching the Mini Mandalas. They are AMAZING. Have a close look at her beautiful stitching! Christine had a friend make these beautiful boxes for her to mount them.

20.01.2022 I wish you all the delights that May can bring.

19.01.2022 Sitting in my patio with my new flock.. trying to do some stitching but enjoying the moment.... what started out as one, has become many. There are 9 now and more still arriving. They bring me such joy..

19.01.2022 Needles and a few bits..

18.01.2022 Im thinking I might drop some little letters in the local post box. Maybe a small gift. This sounds like a wonderful idea. But Ill have to write them as Charlotte isnt here to help

17.01.2022 Now be gentle everyone.... Im trying to update my computer skills. I have all this computer gear and no knowledge on how to use it.. So if you can DOWNLOAD this, not just try print it from opening it, it should hopefully print for you... maybe And if theres not too much hassle, there will be more to come. ... So please be gentle with me, Im a beginner computer person... And if your part of the Crash Test Dummy newsletter, heres an extra gift for being so patient. https://drive.google.com//153YKWGmxxJsY-wqJiNrmmtEEH/view

15.01.2022 A lovely little quilt with a free pattern. Pop over to Lisas web site and check all her lovely things out. She is the queen of making and designing beautiful things that can be made simply.

14.01.2022 Lazy Daisy tricks to make them lovely (and see me make some mistakes )

14.01.2022 Getting started.. threading your needle the easy way and back stitch

13.01.2022 These two are the most beautiful people. This is where I learnt to use a fine paint brush so I could paint my buttons... this family will always have a special part in my heart.

12.01.2022 The projects are coming together and looking great, for the Bundaberg Weekend. Have you booked yet? All you need to bring is yourself as absolutely everything is supplied. So this is a great day (or weekend) for someone just starting out, or someone who wants to fine tune their stitching. Please contact Gemma or book online at https://www.2chicksandasewingmachine.com.au//workshop-retr

12.01.2022 People never cease to amaze me... I have NO IDEA how this is done but I think its great! This is the free duck pattern available for download but Robyn Bowie has stitched it out on her machine. How good is that if you dont like hand embroidery?????

12.01.2022 When I wake to this.. birds singing, trees rustling, sun shining, sketch book at my side, a hot cuppa and a warm bowl of porridge... what more could I ever ask for on a Monday morning.. Thankyou to my dear friend Lisa for my beautiful quilt that Im snuggled under.. HAPPY MONDAY everyone

11.01.2022 The two days are filling fast and if you are anything like me, and need a day out.. heres a lovely weekend coming up..

I hope you will come and enjoy a great weekend with us and have some Covid safe stitching company for the day. (Or two)

03.01.2022 Sometimes when I design something I have absolutely no idea the talent of the people who stitch my designs... this is one of those times... this is one of the plates from the Plates BOM... simply amazing

03.01.2022 A great thing to make for winter..

03.01.2022 A beautiful day to listen to an iconic song. Turn up the volume!

02.01.2022 I have no idea what is being said, but this is HILARIOUS!!!! Ya gotta watch to the end..

02.01.2022 A few weeks ago I said I was going to upload so you tubes about Stitching Basics for beginners. Because I am in Highfields teaching for The Quilters Angel, this weekend, at Stitches Dream Day out, and I was scheduled to be in Adelaide this weekend, to teach for Patchwork by Sea at their retreat, Inspire Stitch Dream, (had to be postponed to February for obvious reasons) I thought I would share some test runs for anyone that is interested. These will be taken down on Monday so enjoy.. We will then either repost them to Youtube or reshoot them when we get home. I hope you enjoy my little series of The Pyjama Stitcher ...

02.01.2022 Had a lovely day on Wednesday teaching a class on making dolls. So much fun and the sunny, winters day was glorious. We finished off with a couple of locals coming to say hello.

02.01.2022 A different way to interpret ‘Eat more Beef’... a great way to teach young ones to sew.
