Some finishes

 Finns quilt is finished and he now has it to play on, he likes both the front and back

so much colour and things to look at.

I have been working on a pincushion from a kit I got from Bittern by the Bug recently, the owner of the business is coming to the Guild to talk to us next year, she imports vintage Japanese fabrics. 

A slightly better photo this time 😀

and the top

it has felted wool top and bottom

My quarter inch hexies have gone from 

this

to

this.

At Bellarine Quilters we were challenged to make a name tag to be shown at our Christmas lunch.

Turns out only four of us have made one so it has been cancelled 😕

Oh well four of us still get to have new name tags I guess.

I am off to get some breakfast, maybe do some gardening or maybe start on an Aussie Hero quilt, or do some more quilting on the Red Tractor fabric or another project that needs quilting - so many choices!!!

Have a good weekend and happy stitching.

Over the long weekend

 I was busy walking the dogs, catching up on chores and sewing!!

I have finished two of the quilt tops donated  to the Bellarine Quilters, they will be added to the Quilts for Others pile.

Hank has to be up and watching, with toy in mouth, when ever I move around.

another quilt has been sandwiched, this one will be a play mat for hubbies great niece, it is Red Tractor fabric

Hanks was under the table trying to catch blow flies 😒

Tira was reclining in the shade

On the move again 😀

I had better be now and go sort some lunch

Happy stitching.

 Not a huge lot of sewing was done last night, I did get the second quilt sandwiched

my assistant was smelling the roses

I did a little hand sewing while watching a Jackie Chan movie last night

Yes quarter inch hexies - I had a mad moment - I m making a small project so it isn't too much sewing, I need to cover more papers, maybe tonight.

This morning I went for a walk with the dogs and Mary a quilting friend, Mary lives at Indented Head just along the coast from us and a friend of hers lives closer to Portarlington. So we decided to see if we and the dogs could walk the distance. Tira wanted a swim on the way

Looking back from where we had come. We did make the distance and had a cuppa with Mary's friend, we walked 7.46kmaccording to my phone and blew my steps quota out of the water for the day.

I am off, I hear a dog whining at the back door, no doubt she wants to come back in!

Happy stitching.

 Tonight is Friday and it is Friday Night with Friends, the first Friday of the month. Cheryll is our lovely host and has gathered us together for an evening of crafting. This afternoon I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and sandwich a quilt. The top has come from a lady who no longer quilts, she has gone into care and sent her son along to our group with 3 bags of quilt tops on the condition they all go to charity. So I am making a start

My two assistants have been loafing about

enjoying the beautiful weather

I am off outside again while it is still sunny to try and get another top sandwiched.

Happy stitching.
