I have been sewing away on the medallion Mystery today
these blocks were done
as were these, despite my careful sewing and measuring
two blocks came out very uneven...not sure how that goes for the rest of the quilt...
but the finished medallion! Only lost one point and had a few nearly meeting seams but I am happy with it.
This morning the Supervisor and I had our stroll along the beach
started out quietly but we met a few other dogs along the way.
beautifully calm this morning
the supervisor had a paddle on the way back home.
The bees were busy in this purple flowering bush when I was hanging out the washing.
Yesterday on my way to sewing at Port I noticed these young birds on the power lines
I think they are teenage corellas
they were trying to chew through the line
then they decided to hang by their beaks and have a bit of a foot fight! They made me laugh!
Sewing was busy, we had a good crowd, this was only one table, there was another table behind me and then the ladies on their sewing machines
We heard we had taken over $2000 for the raffle at the quilt show...that money gets divided into $500 lots and goes to local charities.
Show and tell from Ann. This was a memory quilt made form some of her late husbands clothes, she has made one for each of her daughters. Isn't that a wonderful thing to do.
Last night
I finished all the flowers on the corners of the Doing the Rounds quilt. Yay!!
My meeting in the centre got better as I progresses, I am still debating whether to put a circle over the top of the centre or not
Last night I also appliqued on the little hexies to go in between the petals. Hope to do some more this evening.
I am off to sit and read in the sun for a while.
Happy stitching.
Beautiful Sue. Love both your medallion & your doing the rounds! Such fine detailed work Sue. Loved the birds on the power line too ... amazing how they can do that & not get zapped!
ReplyDeleteDoing the rounds is fantastic! It's wonderful to look at all the details. Great photos of the birds in action. It makes me laugh too.
ReplyDeleteThe Medallion block looks great and I do love your Doing the Rounds. Very envious of yours and Supervisors walk. Plus the entertainment from the feathered acrobats! Lovely post enjoy your reading x
ReplyDeleteYour work is looking lovely, Sue! Both projects sing to me. You live in such a beautiful place and have the most interesting birds.
ReplyDeleteAnd you saved the best til last! Doing the rounds looks so amazing - which is not to say that your medallion is not lovely as it is, such beautiful colours. But doing the rounds steals my heart. Lovely bird pictures. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely full day! Your Rounds quilt looks fabulous. Every step it gets better. I don't think you should put a center over the corner flowers. They look just fine! The beach walk looks like great weather, and fun in the water, too. I think I would have had a good laugh at your birds, as well I like your big blocks, and the finished one looks quite fine, so a little bobble along the way is nothing to worry about. =)
ReplyDeleteDoing the rounds is going to be a stunner wonderful progress, your block looks great. Looks like a lovely path to walk down to the beach for a dip.
ReplyDeleteLove the batik blocks, your points are beautiful (I just finished my Foxes quilt, it’s extremely wonky!). The Doing the Rounds looks great, I wonder how you’ll quilt it. Hello Chowdydog!
ReplyDeleteyour medallion quilt is stunning... and so is doing the rounds..... those corellas are funny.... the birds are always good fun to watch...
