Slow day

I had big plans to get heaps done today, but after doing the washing, and walking to the clothes line and back, it is 92 steps away up the back of the yard, I really haven't achieved a lot. I have finished a book and an audio book while doing some hand stitching, I have started an Aussie hero Quilt, the request was for Buddhism (Tibetan) so this is what I have done so far

things are pinned in place


things are sewn in place!!! I am hoping the prayer flags flatten down once they get used to being out of their packaging. The central piece came from a T-shirt,I am going to use the rest to make the laundry bag. The supervisor has been keeping an eye on proceedings and following me from room to room
He isn't happy with the appearance of the camera though!!
While listening to the audio book this afternoon I made some circles to go on the Aussie Hero quilt , I am going to try and make the fabric version of some prayer beads

and put some more blue on the mosaic
not too much more to do now. Now I need to do some starching and ironing.
Happy sewing.

  3. Hi Sue, your Aussie Hero quilts that you make are always amazing. I just love how you get them exactly right. I think you have achieved heaps today. I must count how many steps to my clothes line today :-) Just out of interest.

  6. OMG! The mosaic of your sons is awesome! Great idea you have come up with for the Buddhist quilt. Maybe stich the prayer flags down? Not the same effect though. Lol, you get a lot of exercise getting to you clothes line. You need a cut lunch to get there and back. Great exercise but I think I would move it closer lol. Love your new header.

  9. I really love the mosaic. How do you translate a picture into a mosaic and then choose the colours to get the shading. It looks very complex. Well done with the new quilt - you are very creative with your designs... Yay... I love your new header!
