Here I am once again!

 The last month has whizzed by, I have been doing things but when I look back at my photos there isn't much to show!

I made a little taggie for Finn, I don't think I put enough taggies in it, I have just looked at Susan's and think I should have had a few more. Not to worry he seem to like it!
I have made a lighthouse quilt for friends on the Sunshine Coast, they used to work in lighthouses years back

Joan has quilted it for me in a lovely wave pattern, next job is to sew on the binding.

Carole over at My Carolina Home is having a quilt drive , you can read about it on her blog, I thought I would use up some orphan blocks languishing in my block holder, these started as a hand sewn quilt, a pattern came out each month, I cant remember the magazine now, but it might have been Today's Quilter.

I got out the blocks, made them into little quilts, quilted and bound them and found they were too big, I hadn't read the requirements properly, so now I will need to find another home for them. They are too big to be sent to Carole. 
I signed up last Friday for a fundraiser with the BOS Australia group  to try and walk 57,000 steps a week
Thank you to the lovely people who have sponsored me, great motivation to keep walking!
Up until yesterday I have done 57,308 steps! Pretty happy with that. I was late starting this but will continue until the end of the month.
I have finally worked out how to send photos from my phone to the lap top (I think)



These photos are from Portarlington and Clifton Springs, I was walking and looking for geocaches, which is great motivation for me!!

These are the start of the filler blocks I need to make for the Anthology quilt, I have finished all the blocks, I just need to find the last photo!
Block 182.

I will put this into drafts as I have to go and get dinner!
Maybe I can finish this on the phone

Happy stitching.

  3. Your scenery photos are stunning Sue. Looks like you are getting some really nice days over there weather wise. Love the taggie for Finn. A shame those small blocks were too large - they'd make wonderful dolly quilts. Lighthouse quilt is just wonderful Sue xx
