April has come to an end and so too the challenge for this month.
My challenge was to work on the Sashiko panel, I had to stop stitching a few days ago as I ran out of thread, but more turned up in the mail today so stitching can continue.
the whole panel
and blogger has turned this on its side for some reason
and this one! But these are the sections I have done.
Now we wait for next months number to see what gets worked on in May.
Last Sunday we went over to Queenscliff with Adam and Finn
Looking over to the ferry wharf
I took my camera with us, Finn was fascinated and wanted to have a go
Rabbit
The mirror he has in the back was a good thing to have a go with, with GaGa's help to hold up the camera!
Rabbit again
In the mirror again
Hand over the camera!!
Legs and feet and there were many, many more that were out of focus blur. Finn has a great time until the battery went flat - turning on and off will do that!! 😁
Finn had a great time at the park
Fun on the swing with Dad
waiting for GaGa to finish with "MY" camera!!
Oh dear she has the camera out again.
Down the twisty slide.
Time to head home after a play, walk to a cafe for a milkshake and biscuit, hot drinks for the big people, a visit to the bookshop, back to the park....I think we all need a rest now!
Later in the afternoon I got my act together and sandwiched a quilt
The sun was going down
all done and ready for quilting, which I did today.
the desert rose plant has grown well this summer and has had 3 lots of flowers. I missed the first one but got these, I am so happy it is still going well as it is a tropical plant and we do not live in the tropics! This plant must be 18 years old now.
OK enough from me for now
Happy stitching.
Well done with the work on your # 4 challenge .
ReplyDeleteWas a great day out with your family. Finn is growing up so fast.
Looks like he enjoy using your camera.
Nice to have a quilt sandwiched and pinned ready to quilt.
Your Dessert Rose is pretty. I have two red ones that flower round Christmas.
Oh that was me Maria.
ReplyDeleteGood progress on your Sashiko panel.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely day out with your budding photographer Finn xx
Love your sashiko Sue - it looks very similar to a panel that I stitched - I made mine up into a wrap around pouch to hold my diaries. I just love stitching sashiko. Gosh Finn is growing - I know I say this every time but he looks like such a young boy now & not really a toddler anymore. It is lovely to see the world through their eyes. xx
ReplyDeleteGrandkids are the BEST! You have a lovely spot for basting your quilt tops.
ReplyDeleteYou sashiko is looking great. What a lovely afternoon with Finn. xx
ReplyDeleteYou had a great day out with Finn. Nice to see your Sashiko progressing
ReplyDeleteA great grandma day with Finn. A nice spot to pin.
ReplyDeleteLove your sashiko. Awe, Finn is adorable! Those mirrors are great to keep an eye on them when driving. We never had that luxury back in the day. A fun day out with your grandson.
ReplyDeleteI love the sashiko! The little photographer makes me smile - he is a busy boy!
ReplyDeletehaha I remember having a phone full of strange photos!! Budding photographer growing over there...

The Sashiko is looking great. It sounds like a fun outing with Finn. My, he is growing. The joys of digital photography. He can take as many photos as he likes…. until the battery runs out.
ReplyDeleteLovely day out & about - we have some Desert roses - and we are in the tropics....but they never look like yours...could it be the brown thumbed husband???
