This quilt was my January challenge and it is finally finished. The quilt is designed by Sonya Else an artist from Rochester, Vic. Sonya came and talked to the Guild on Saturday so it was good motivation for me to get the quilt finished. Nothing like a deadline!! She is an amazing creative person, she has an idea and then works out how to create it, a few photos of her works are below
I dont know if these photos are working because as I am trying to make this post I can see what I am typing but not the photos, I am getting rows of letters and numbers and symbols!!
This months challenge is the Hatched and Patched project we were given at Baradine last year - again another deadline to get me moving!! I have only had a year!!!
Progress so far happened on FNWF ( I forgot to take a photo) and yesterday at Guild
I have been spending some time with Finn
At home playing with water, the serious job of attaching a baby chino and at the playground, always a beautiful view from there.
Last week we celebrated our 41st anniversary and went to Jack Rabbit for lunch - the views were stunning
I have also finished a Wasgij
The challenge is what the horse can see
Today I have finished the binding on this quilt, kindly quilted by Tracee of Hummingbird Quilting in Gisborne
Love this fabric.
Well that is me updated for now, I will publish and hope it works - happy stitching.
Lots to see in this post Sue. Yes your photos came out great! Sonya is a very talented quilter for sure. Finn is growing up so fast! I love watching them with their "water play" & using their imaginations. Congratulations on your anniversary Sue - well done! How special
ReplyDeleteThe sewing caddy you are working on looks wonderful - I love those colours. Have a great week Sue - the computer has decided to actually work for 5 minutes (the new one has arrived, currently sitting on lounge floor in boxes waiting for eldest son!!)😉 xx
Seems to have worked perfectly Sue. Your quilt is lovely - as are the designers. Lots going on, as always. The sewing pouch is a great design. xx
ReplyDeleteWow! Forty one years! That is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteFinn is such a cutie.
Happy Anniversary. Love these jigsaws. They are so funny. Lots to look at too. great finishes…
ReplyDeletePhotos came through fine!
ReplyDeleteFinn is growing so fast, goodness!
Quilts are lovely too
Congratulations on your gorgeous finish. Fun times with Finn. Happy anniversary to you both.
ReplyDeleteThe post all worked very well. Great to see your progress and fun.
ReplyDeleteLove the Australian animals. I totally agree about deadlines...even self imposed ones work well. You applique quilt is stunning - as are the other designs you showed...clever lady!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful finish for your January challenge. Sonya's designs are incredible!
ReplyDeleteFinn will either keep you young, or make you painfully aware of how you are not young anymore! LOL
Congrats on your anniversary!
That is an interesting puzzle concept. I am struggling with one and I know exactly what it is supposed to be. Yours puts a whole new twist on the idea of "puzzle".
Love the Aussie animal quilt. I saw some of them just recently. :)
A lovely post Sue. Those quilts are beautiful! What a cutie is your little Finn...busy little bee. Very nice Anni project too. Happy Anniversary to you both xxxx
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your anniversary.
ReplyDeleteWell done with your beautiful finish….
Finn is growing up so quickly.

A nice newsy post. So much going on. Finn is certainly growing quickly. My Anni pouch has barely been started, so you are way ahead of me.
ReplyDeleteDid I say congratulations on your 41st anniversary or not? Possibly not, so Happy Anniversary in a belated sort of way!!! Looks like a lovely spot for celebrating. I meant to get a closer look at your finished quilt at SS - but didn't - it's beautiful - well done on the lover-ly finish - it looks like a lot of work!
