A Bit of this and that

 This last week has been a week of trying to cut fabric for a new quilt (not too successfully) and adding borders to existing quilt tops that have been waiting for a long time

This quilt top was given to me for Oncology, it has now been quilted and moved to the binding pile.

This quilt was made from left over charm packs, it has had a border added and is now in the to be quilted pile

This top was donated for Oncology, it has been trimmed and borders added, it is also in the quilting pile.

My piles are moving from one to the other slowly.

These blocks were given to me, they were left over from a quilt, it is now a flimsy but needs borders. Love the purple batiks in this one.

I have been asked to make a cowboy/horse theme quilt, I have some horse panels to use and am making blocks to add to the quilt

Some cowboy boot blocks, I need to make lots more.

This weeks Anthology block, some of the points do not meet up well, but I feel I am slowly getting better at the one and a half inch half square triangles.

Tomorrow I am off on retreat for part of the week, so I need to be cutting fabric for blocks and packing.

Happy stitching.

One Day Late

 I am one day late with my Churn dash SAL organised by Chooky, somehow it is October already.

I spent Thursday sewing away , quite a lot of unsewing happened too as I had trouble getting the triangle pieces going the right way. I finally finished after dinner and am very happy with the flimsy.

Now to get it quilted.

Two more Anthology blocks have been made

I think I have about 40 to go - seems a bit more obtainable now.

We have had some nice days for beach walks

This galah was watching a fissure in a tree where a rainbow lorikeet was nesting, maybe there is competition for homes here!

Ths galah was sitting on the perch watching what was going on.

I love this time of the year when I can go to the bush by the beach and pick a huge handful of freesias, they grow wild down there. I had some in each room of the house and the smell was wonderful.

The Aussie Hero Quilt is finished and in the mail, the request was for Aussie flowers and birds, plus the Rising Sun and Infantry badge.

The back was all flowers

This was an unfinished photo, I can't find a finished one!!

I spent one afternoon this making green blocks - the retreat ladies were given green strips from Kates stash and were asked to make blocks we can put together next retreat into a quilt. I added some extra green fabrics I had here.

I think that is me all caught up for now, I am off to sew some backing pieces together.

Happy stitching.
