Well my bag was all pack and we were ready to go and then Dan the Man said NO! Lockdown for a week for you. We had planned a trip to Port Douglas with Adam and Beth and Beth's parents, but that was not to be. We will have to wait for another time. The virus has descended on Victoria again, thanks to some furniture removalists who came here and South Australia while they were infectious.
my bag is now unpacked and all put away until next time.
This week has been a bit of a squirrel week, things I had planned to do have not happened and other things have taken their place. ( Did you send your squirrels over Lou ?) It is all good as a finish is a finish regardless of the day it gets done.
Garfield is finally finished and has gone to the Bellarine Quilters collection, it will go to a new home later this year. This fabric came from Fiona.
This quilt top was also made by Fiona, quilted by Joan of Faraway quilting and bound by me. It will go to the SJOG oncology ward when I can do another delivery.
Also for SJOG are
these two quilts, tops made by Wendy from the Geelong Guild finished by me.
This weeks Anthology blocks, only a small amount of unsewing required 😉
One more border was attached to the Guild Mystery Quilt, I think I will do one more plain border and then it will be done.
For some reason I got out the cropped diamonds and sewed the two separate bits I had together, then added a few more, I think this is going to take a long time to get some size to this one. I am happy to be using up scraps though.
I was listening to the last disc of a talking book so decided to stamp some more scraps and cut them out, good to have a pile of scraps gone.
I spent quite a lot of time preparing hexies to take away, now I have lots to sew together, no prep needed for a while!
Today I went for a walk, did some grocery shopping to fill the empty fridge and then sat and read a book, The Paris Library, what a great book, I really enjoyed it.
Today has been a bit of a lazy day!
Happy stitching.
Sorry to hear about your cancelled trip. Make the most of it and completed some sewing.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Hopefully it will be over in one week. Cases are rising here too. Maybe it’s the Olympics, maybe the delta variant.
ReplyDeleteYou’ve got some gorgeous projects!
So sorry you couldn't get away for your break, what a shame. Corona doesn't want to let us go! Your quilting is great, love Garfield! Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteStay safe!
Shame your trip was cancelled.
ReplyDeleteNope, my squirrel is still with me, maybe you have his cousin. LOL
Looks like you have plenty to keep busy with.
So sorry you lost out on your trip. Shoot! Hope you can reschedule another time.
ReplyDeleteYou are so close on your Guild Mystery - love it!
What a shame about your trip... POrt Douglas would be lovely at this time of year... I'm sure you will find lots to do during lockdown though - like hexagons????? For someone who feels like squirrel you have got heaps done... love those quilts.. they look good finished now! and lovely patch ones you finished off too....
ReplyDeleteTake care.....

sorry to hear your trip cancelled......supposed to be going to the NT next week......waiting for the border to close...... :(
ReplyDeletegoodluck for another lockdown.........
How disappointing. Looks like you have plenty to keep you busy during this next round of lockdown.
ReplyDeleteDon’t you hate it when plans have to be cancelled. Our trip to Broken Hill next month has been put on hold. We have certainly learned that we can’t assume that plans will come to fruition these days. Let’s hope your latest lockdown is only brief. On the sewing front, the donation quilts look great and your other projects are coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read you've had to abandon plans again Sue .. you have sure had your fair share of lockdowns in Victoria. I love everything you have been working on & you sure do get variety in your work!! 😊
ReplyDeleteSuch a pain your trip was cancelled but you got a lot done at home.
ReplyDeleteLots of fabulous quilts made by many lovely ladies......
Such a shame about your trip. You seem to have had a busy sewing week though. xx
ReplyDeleteDarn darn darn. Keep quilting and keep calm
ReplyDeleteShame about your trip but to be half expected these days especially during winter. At least you have plenty of projects to keep you busy and all are lovely. Lots of hexies too. Pity you can't play with them on holiday but they are still fun to do. Keep safe.
ReplyDeleteSue, you are a much better person than I am. I do not take well to cancellations and deal very poorly with disappointments. And here you are calmly taking a walk, going shopping and prepping hexies. Very cool and classy of you.
ReplyDeleteWell at least we get to sew while in lockdown... shame about the holiday though but you can look forward to it's repeat...:( xox
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you will miss your trip! So disappointing. You have some lovely work happening Sue xx
ReplyDeleteVery disappointing having to cancel trips. We were supposed to go to Palm Cove on 2nd August but I've cancelled it, along with mine and Mum's trip to Sydney. Don't know when we'll get to see my brother. Your mystery quilt is lovely.
