I have been quilting the baby quilt I started a few weeks ago, the great grandmother of the baby is coming here on the 27th so I thought I should get my skates on and get it finished.
there is quite a nice view out the window today
the horse block is finished...yay!!
Quite a bit of my time has been spent sitting staring at this trying to work out where the pieces go, this is a wasgij, the picture on the box not what you can see but what someone in the picture can see. Keeps you thinking!
the quilt for Victor is bound, wrapped and under the tree.
These cats are so cute!
Last Tuesday evening I went with the past Guild president to a Gratitude Garden Party. It was at the Bluebird Foundation in Geelong and they were thanking everyone who had donated/supported them thru the year. The Guild donated quilts to them for their reading programmes at two venues. This drawing was created by the man who teaches the boys street art classes, how clever is that. I hope the Guild will support them again next year.
On Wednesday there was supposed to be a last meeting of the St Leonard's girls, but the venue was closed for a clean up, so we went to Jill s house and got to meet Molly. Molly could no longer live with her owner so Jill is seeing how she fits into their house and gets on with their dog. She is a beautiful quiet cat.
Jill has finished this cushion cover she got as a kit when we heard Margaret Mew speak, it is the most beautiful applique.
Here is Jills dog, after she got over being excited about visitors being in the house and had plenty of back and tummy rubs.
I emptied a gin bottle, not in a day I hasten to add, and decided the bottle was too nice to thrown away, so it has been turned into a light, not really dark enough to see it properly, but you get the idea.
Are you still awake?? Hee hee.
I am off to finish the quilting before the dinner needs to be cooked.
Happy stitching.
The baby quilt is very cute.. Great to have your horse block done. The puzzle you're working looks challenging but fun. Lucky cat getting a quilt for christmas.

ReplyDeleteA lovely post Sue ... love everything!! What a great idea for the Gin bottle. That is a gorgeous looking cat ... I hope she settles in well. Wishing you & your family a wonderful festive season Sue. Xxx
ReplyDeleteI meant to say above that I liked how that quilt had turned out. She's going to love it. That bottle light is quite ingenious! Miss Molly looks like a lovely cat. She would fit in with our two Russian Blue/Manx mixes. That little dog is so cute! The horse block is great. I like the expressions on the faces.
