This and that

Last week or was it earlier this week hubby and I drive up to Gisborne to collect a quilt Traceee of Hummingbird Quilting. She has done a beautiful job, I am very happy.
I have been stitching away on the hexies and have made good progress
I started some knitting in the car on the way to Gisborne, 
the colour is more watermelon  it looks very bright in the photo 📸 , this will be a dish cloth. I found two balls of wool.when packing and sorting so thought I would get knitting. 
A few more cropped diamonds have been sewn together 
slowly but surely making progress, I have lots more scraps to stamp and cut.
The footie is on this afternoon, Richmond is playing so Adam is here with the dogs  Tira is watching the world go by outside
Hank is patrolling and checking everything in the house
I had better be off now and do some stitching.
Happy days.

  4. Beautiful work in your quilt. I wish I could knit in the car....looking down for me is not a good idea. Your hexies are coming along well. Tira and Hank look very much at home.

  5. Beautiful quilting Sue ... the quilt looks amazing! Pleased to see the dogs on patrol both inside & out. I have been knitting dishcloths too - they are good when you don't want to concentrate too much!

  7. Your sampler quilt is so lovely and great to have it quilted so beautifully by Tracee. Dogs are enjoying checking out your place. I enjoy knitting plain things like dishcloths in the car too... loving your hexagons

  12. Sue - the quilt turned out so nicely. I like to do cross-stitch in the car; when I am a passenger, I always like to have something to do, more than just looking out the window. I used to be the navigator, but now the GPS does that!
