Heatwave

It has been very hot here the last few days, we were supposed to have had a cool change around 4pm this afternoon, the breeze did swing around to the south but the sun is still very hot! So what better to do on days like these but stay inside and sew!!
I worked on some of the book reading quilt blocks

Yesterday I got a row finished and today

the quilt top is finished...the blues were not supposed to line up like that, they were supposed to be random, but random and I do not seem to get along to well!!  

over the last few nights a few more circles have been finished.
Yesterday hubby told me he had fixed the broken oar and it would not break again....mmmm...
not much rowing activity happening here! The broom stick/oar handle broke just after I took this photo

that tiny speck in the distance is me having a swim!Lol!!
and relaxing under a shady tree

this afternoon I have been working on the Christmas swap blocks from the Bellarine Quilters, I had to trim some blocks down, and add strips to some to make them bigger (mine included)...now I need to figure out how to make little squares of colour for the sashings that go across the quilt, I am sure there is a name for them, I just can't remember it!! Better go look in a book!
On facebook a couple of days ago there was a zucchini recipe that had no flour so I thought I would give it a try, and typical of me, no recipe...it was a bit runny at first
but it cooked up ok, even hubby said it tasted surprisingly good!! Wow!!
It had a zucchini, eggs, garlic, lots of cheese, Italian herbs and I put in some spring onion, just 'cos I could!! Might try it again one day.
Hoping for a cooler day tomorrow.
I had better go and sort some dinner
Happy sewing

  8. Pretty funny comic, sad but so true! Your quilt looks great! I’m not so good with the random thing either. It is what it is, right? That recipe sounds yummy. My daughter tries lots of recipes like that! Nine times out of ten, they are delicious!

  9. Oh that water looks so inviting! Methinks hubby needs to buy you new oars. That zucchini slice looks yummy.

  10. Well the zucchini bake looks delicious and I had a good chortle at the comic! What a great ABC quilt... I think the blues are random enough to pass! Too bad that it's back to the drawing board with the oar!!! I hope you get that cool breeze at some stage - we have been way too hot here as well - and very muggy but not nearly as hot as you are I know!

  14. I think the placement of the blue blocks works really well especially as they are not symmetrical. Its a great top. Love the cartoon! xx
