I have been stitching away on a KOGO blanket, thinking I could deliver it to a localish pharmacy on Friday, but now with the return of the Metro Melbourne lock down KOGO has had to close up again. It is a shame as there is big demand for blankets and warm woolies at present.
I have had this quilt for over a year, she is embarrassed to say. I was given it to quilt and it has been in a corner of the sewing room, well I can happily say now it is done!
It was cold this morning but I had a good walk along the beach
into the sunshine
out onto the Yacht Club jetty
this dog was having a wonderful time wading through the water, he was scaring away any seagulls he got near to, his owners were on the beach following along.
It was a lovely day to be out and about
Good for fishing maybe?
After having a walk and before I got too distracted I made this weeks Anthology block, only a small amount of unsewing was required when I put one row on upside down!! This block is called Lanterns.
This afternoon I sandwiched a quilt out the front, the sun was warm but the wind was from the south and cold!
I have also started an Aussie hero quilt , the request is for Gallipoli, poppy, AFL, you can see the team and a Spitfire. I had this laid out and hubby came past and told me the top was too busy, I needed to unpick the flag fabric and put in a black strip to divide them up...guess what I am doing this evening??
I can smell dinner so I had better go check it before it burns!!
Happy stitching.
You always have such gorgeous pictures from your walks. It’s good to check out the unfinished things from time to time.
ReplyDeleteFab work as always. Love the photos especially the dog in the water. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful winter day. Just right for a walk along the beach.
ReplyDeleteLove the crochet blanket. It's the sort of thing I do. So far only for grandchildren.
The quilts are amazing. How long does it take you to finish one?
well done with the KOGO and the lovely flower quilt..... HUbz needs to come and give his help prior to stitching being done... he has a good eye but timing can be improved??? haha.... a lovely walk.... I want to live at the beach...

Thanks for taking me on your walk with you, it's something I should get back to doing, although no beach here to walk along! Thinking of you all over the border and hoping things will soon improve.
ReplyDeleteHiya Sue. Just playing catch up on all your posts after being down at Mums for 5 days. You keep so busy Sue & achieve lots. I was so sorry to read that your area had gone into lockdown again but maybe its the wake up call that folk needed that were carrying on as if nothing was wrong. The same will happen here if they don't get a handle on the border control. I love the KOGO blanket Sue. Hope your week is going well - looks like you have had good weather. xx
ReplyDeleteI Always enjoy your walks and the photos you capture on them. Yep husbands and timing need a bit of fine tuning.
ReplyDeleteShame about Kogo when there is such a need. The flower quilt is lovely and I always love to see your Aussie Heroes come to life. Looks like a beautiful day x
ReplyDeleteI love walking along the beach...thanks for sharing. It is nice to see some long term projects finally reaching the finish line. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI particularly love that flower quilt. So pretty. Great idea putting crocheted blocks with knitted blocks, it works well. You are so productive! Here's me trying to finish quilts so slowly lol.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could deliver the KOGO blanket if you need to got to the chemist for meds...
ReplyDeleteSeems the dog doesn't feel the cold .....
Pretty floral quilt..
Looks like you are keeping busy with the quilts and blocks..
Stay safe and well.
Love that flower quilt - and have to agree with Fiona & others - it's all well & good to get constructive criticism - but a bit earlier would be good.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures from your walk - I love the fishing one and one before it. There seems to be a lot going on - nice finish on that little quilt. The lantern is a nice design and the hero quilt is looking very interesting. Stay safe. xx
ReplyDeleteThe flower quilt and the KOGO blanket are cheerful finishes and your WIP-s are of beautiful colours. The Aussie Hero quilt is going to be amazing. Hubby is being helpful, I look forward to seeing the changes you make. Lovely beach walk in gentle light. Enjoy the weekend!

You always keep yourself busy. The beach photos are fabulous, so wonderful that you are close. Happy weekend....xoxo
ReplyDeleteWell done on all the charity work you do Sue - it gives you a great variety of projects to work on. It looked like a lovely day for a walk - I hope the weekend is just as clear. Is the Aussie hero quilt a panel or have you been really busy with some applique?
ReplyDeleteAt least you are getting things done.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the centre panel from.
It looks like you had some nice weather for being outside. Great progress on all your project staff

ReplyDeleteThe flower quilt is beautiful and done! Yay!
Your deck has an amazing view! I can see why you would enjoy stitching out doors!
I guess it really is winter, but it looked lovely out on the beach. I'm not sure I agree with your DH, but he's seeing it in person and I'm not. I imagine you are finished with it by now!
