The view of the pier when I was out walking one morning.
Poppies read to be ironed in place on the Aussie Hero quilt.
I cut some more birds last Monday and they have been ironed in place on the Bird Quilt, now to decide what else to do with it.
It took two attempts, but the fish quilt for the oncology centre is now sandwiched and I finished quilting it yesterday.
Our speaker at the Guild last Saturday was Sandy, she is a local milliner and had many beautiful hats to show us, Lisa was her model.
Sandy donated a hat for our raffle
and guess who won it!! One very surprised and happy Lisa, it suits her perfectly.
One morning this week the pelicans and the seagulls were waiting for a feed, there were fishermen at the cleaning table cleaning their fish.
Sunday afternoon view out the sewing room window.
Sunday I made 6 bat wraps, to go to Queensland for any orphaned bats, they hug the pillow section and are wrapped to simulate their mothers wings.
How cute do these little guys look!!
You can find these patterns, just google The Animal Freestyle Craft Guild.
Last night I was happily stitching away, one eye on the TV, when I went to attach the next hexie.......mmmmmm...that does not look right..so some unsewing had to happen.
Today it was fixed and now there is one more to go! Yay! I am two behind at present and another one is arriving any day, so I had better get moving!
I can smell dinner so had better go and check it!
Happy stitching.
Wonderful sewing and photos. I LOVE those bats, what a fantastic idea to make wraps for them. Your quilting is always superb. Love the hat, too, wow, what a stunner! Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThree more gorgeous quilts. I didn't know about bat wraps - how interesting!
ReplyDeleteYou've been productive Sue. I love the "bat" blankets & a good fix of your "flower" before it was too late... xox
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this post
ReplyDeleteYou are always so productive
I love seeing what you are up to
Your first pic is very moody and atmospheric Sue. The poppies are going to look wonderful on that Aussie Hero quilt. Love the birds so much. Neat hats! Good work on the bat wraps. I am keen to try some too. Unsewing is a pain!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts look great Sue - love the poppies. I think that hat sure did suit lisa just perfectly. Those bat wraps are a wonderful idea - Michelle has been making mittens for the koalas. Its wonderful that you girls remember the wildlife you have over there. Have a great week Sue xx
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonder making sew many lovely quilts, all for good causes...
ReplyDeleteLucky you spotted the mistake before you had sewn it any further.
Oh those wee bats do look sew cute in their special blankets..
ReplyDeleteAnother worthy recipient...
Your posts are always filled with delight!
ReplyDeleteOh my, bat wraps! I never heard of that, but it makes perfect sense, and they are entirely cute. I like bats, personally. Your picture of the birds waiting for the fish cleanings made me smile. The pelicans are so much larger than the seagulls. I appreciate all the nature pictures you share here.
ReplyDeleteThe bat wraps are such a good idea. Wow you are really rolling out the quilts at the moment :-) Love your applique ones - it will be fun to see what you do next with them. The hat talk at Guild looks like it was a fun affair.
