End of the month

 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

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.

  4. I 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.

  5. The 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

  6. Sue - 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!

    Oh 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!

  7. 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.

  11. Well 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.
