And challenge #7, the quilt top is finished. Yippee!! I did have a few hiccups on the way (again)
something looked wrong here 😁
Mmmmm another woopsie
Phew, many hours later!!!
the quilt top is finally finished - this is based on the Daylesford Quilt pattern by Jen Kingwell.
We had some visitors to the garden, first time since we have lived here, the cockatoos came and were munching on the wisteria - they picked flowers had one bite and threw the rest on the ground!!
I do love to see them in the garden but not when they eat the flowers I like to have around. I went and told them off, they flew up onto the roof and clumped around up there for a while and then flew away.
Yesterday I went to Torquay to do some geocaching, it was raining and cool when I left but as the day went on it fined up and warmed up

Looking over Torquay, the rain heading to Melbourne
Bells Beach - a huge surf carnival is held here around Easter, Sunday things were quiet.
I had better be off and get some dinner.
Happy stitching.
Great quilt top finish! Your coastal pictures are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the #7 Chookshed Challenge even after your OOPS….
ReplyDeleteThose dam cockies destroy every thing.
Sorry Sue, above comment was from me

Well done :-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know cockatoos ate wisteria. Such pretty birds. You live in a very pretty part of the world, Sue. Your 'oops' is now looking better and the quilt top is lovely. Enjoy the beauty and fragrance of your wisteria.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt top looks great Sue. Your wisteria is looking so pretty too - so long as the birds leave it alone. Gosh Torquay is a stunning looking coastal area. xx
ReplyDeleteSue - it has been a while since I visited! Glad to see all appears to be well over there! Lovely quilt top - way to persevere through some oopsies!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I would have had a time choosing between the wisteria and three cockatoos. What if they had eaten the whole flower? Could they stay? LOL!
The quilt top gives me ideas! The cockatoos around here are in pet stores in cages so it's nice to see them in the wild and for that I would allow eating of wisteria.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt top looks great. Lovely to see the Cockys even if they are naughty and spoil your flowers.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on your Daylesford. the sulphur crested are so pretty but also so destructive aren't they...

Well done on achieving your challenge. Those cockatoos are so destructive.
ReplyDeleteWell done on getting your quilt top completed. It looks great. Cockys are lovely, but can be rather destructive. How dare they decimate your wisteria. The coastline looks so dramatic in the stormy weather. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWorth all the agony - great finish of your flimsy. Love your sea views. xx
ReplyDeleteWow, lots of different blocks in your quilt top, lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes. I do love your coastline and glad to have experienced it. Cockies are sooo naughty and quite destructive. Lucky they are cute xx
