Hi, my name is Avis and I live in the North of England.
I love to design and create quilted patchwork items. I also enjoy cross-stitch, needlepoint, tapestry, canvas work, knitting and crochet. I like to bake and cook but I don’t enjoy shopping for ingredients or washing up!
I also run an Ebay store of the same name where I sell fabric.
I will post photos of my progress and hope you like what you see.
Enjoy!

/ May 29, 2012Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I nominated you for the Liebster blogging award. I really am not sure what it means and I don’t expect you to participate. But it’s fun and yours is a blog I enjoy! Click over to my blog if you would like the details.
Oh Sew Tempting
/ May 30, 2012Thank you so much! The only thing is…..I already have the award on my blog. There is a button on the right hand side of my page at the bottom. It was a really kind thought and I would have accepted if I hadn’t already taken part in the fun. Congratulations on your award by the way
You deserve it!!

/ December 19, 2012Avis, How are you doing these days?? Is you back situation/pain subsided enough for you to do any sewing. DH and I have been praying for you every day………Blessings and hugs, Doreen
Oh Sew Tempting
/ December 19, 2012Hi Doreen
As you will notice I haven’t been sewing on the blog, just posting crochet and knitting which I could do sitting still. Sewing a quilt is a much more physical thing. Since the weekend, however, I’ve made a small disappearing nine patch with a charm pack and I quilted it this morning. I hope to bind it this afternoon and then go to work this evening. It’s all systems go here! I’ll post about it in the next couple of days.
Yes, at the end of last week I got out of bed and there was no pain at all. Apparently it was all caused by the sciatic nerve being trapped. It all started with what I would call spasms in my back which gradually moved into my hip and part way down my right leg. I was told it would just be a matter of time and to keep taking painkillers (which didn’t work). So your prayers worked! Thank you so much
Thank you so much for all of your support this year! My blog will be one year old on 28th December
Love and hugs, Avis xx
treadlemusic
/ December 19, 2012I give praise and thanks for your improvement! That sciatic nerve ‘thing’ happened to DH earlier this Spring and lasted through most of the summer preventing him/us from doing some of our traveling. He, also, is better! Will be quilting this afternoon, also……..hugs, D
Oh Sew Tempting
/ December 19, 2012So pleased he is better now
I managed to finish my quilt. It’ll be on here soon

/ December 20, 2012Yay!! I, too, had a successful afternoon. A little border quilting left and binding tomorrow morning and finished. Post tomorrow!! Blessings……

/ December 27, 2012Hi Avis, just to let you know that I have nominated you for The Sisterhood Of The World Bloggers Award! Not sure if you got a pingback from my blog yesterday, so thought I better notify you! Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Yvonne xx
Oh Sew Tempting
/ December 27, 2012Oh! Thank you very much. That is so kind of you
I’m very happy to accept as long as you don’t mind me breaking the rules 
I tend not to ask people to do the chain letter part any more as a lot of bloggers dislike this type of award. I will give a few links to my favourites. They can take the award if they wish

/ December 27, 2012That’s cool. Most likely this is the way I will do it in the future!
Oh Sew Tempting
/ December 27, 2012I’ve done my acceptance post with lots of lovely links
About my random things….I didn’t read that you don’t make resolutions before I wrote about it in my random things. What a coincidence!! Avis x
