The last couple of weeks has seen me with my nose in a book, I read Spring Cottage by Mary Ellen Taylor and then found there were 2 other books in the series, Winter Cottage and Honeysuckle Season, so decided to read then too.
Some sewing has been happening, Anthology blocks
Last weeks and
This weeks.
Flying geese left over from the quilt were joined together
into two pieces and quilted.
After some worrying SLOW mail delivery these beautiful machine embroideries arrived from Tracee of Hummingbird Quilting. This is the start of an Aussie hero quilt.
I made some flying geese to go with them
and did some baking, slightly over cooked on the edges, but it tastes good, biscuit base with nuts and condensed milk on the top.
This week I had to get moving as I had a mailing deadline to meet, this is the start of the Aussie Hero quilt, requested by a submariner. He wanted old school naval tattoos.
Luckily we had a fine morning in the week and I could sandwich outside.
The squirrel popped up in the week and I made a zippy bag from the quilted flying geese pieces quilted last week
blogger decided this photo needed to be turned around
and inside.
the Aussie Hero quilt is finished, and this morning it went into the post, one day before the due date. Phew!!!
Just love Tracee's machine embroideries.
Slow stitching is happening on Tea and Cake, I have lots of hexies to join together here.
And in between times more hexies are being made for the Mystery hexie quilt.
Tonight is Friday Night with Friends
a lovely evening of a virtual sewing with friends.
You can sign up here.
I am off to sort out what I will do this evening.
Happy stitching.
Lovely work on the Aussie Hero quilt. Pretty zippy bag. "Catch up" with you tonight. Enjoy whatever project you decide to work on.

ReplyDeleteThe Aussie Hero Quilt is gorgeous and all those blues are perfect. Those machine embroideries of Tracee are incredible. A most beautiful finish. Love all those hexies and the flying geese as well. As I wandered through your post, Sue, I was thinking you truly are a prolific stitcher. Gosh, you get a lot achieved!
ReplyDeleteYour Aussie Hero quilt looks good with those flying geese in there to make up the size. The embroideries make the quilt easier. Happy FRIDAY NIGHT STITCHING
