Time is roaring past for me this year, here we are June already.
Things have been happening here
This little quilt is finished
This little quilt is having it's binding sewn on today
This KOGO blanket is finished, another is having squares sewn together
another small quilt is finished
time has been spent at the playground (this is from a few weeks ago, I forgot the camera yesterday)
Here he is with a new haircut, he got half a hair cut and decided that was enough, so Mum had to try and finish it off at home. His jumping has really improved and he loves the trampoline.
Last weekend I was up early to go to the Colac Quilt In
A glimpse of the sun before the rain came
The first speaker was Emma Jean Jansen and she showed us many of her beautiful quilts and explained her method of making and quilting. I didn't get quilt photos as we were at the side and they whipped through quickly.
The second speaker was Jodi Carlton from RicRac, she was a very entertaining speaker and her felt toys are just beautiful.
I was sitting at the table on the very end here #13.
These were the traders and yes some purchasing was done!
Lovely ladies I was sitting with, Karen and Sue
The lake as I was heading back to the car. The Quilt In is held at the Bowling Club and it is a great venue.
Last week I had a couple of late afternoon walks
The water was very calm and quiet
and I watched the moon come up over the water
Last week we also had the grand fur babies staying
One ChowChow hiding in the plant!
Today I sewed and unsewed the foundation paper pieced block three times - it is finally finished, not perfect as it should be, but finished.
It was quite a challenge.
Sashiko is still being done, has taken a back seat to the KOGO blankets just now but more will happen next week.
I decided to introduce some colour. I also am not happy with the thread that came with the panel, cotton Japanese Sashiko thread as it splits and doesn't look good, still thinking about that one, any suggestions will he gratefully received.
Another little quilt finished.
I think that is enough for me just now, we are off to Queensland next week to try and find some warmer weather.
Happy stitching.
What a productive little bee you have been.
ReplyDeleteWhat a productive little bee you have been. The quilt in must have been fun, especially with such good speakers. I’ll have to keep my eye out for you in QLD. We are heading that way next week too.
ReplyDeletewell it's not surprising the tiem is going quick... you are getting so many different things done and going places too..... it's not feeling warm here but I expect you will be closer to warmer temperatures.... enjoy our sunshine state!

I have to smile reading Finn had enough after half a haircut! You must feel good after so many finishes. Have a great trip to Queensland!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Sue. Great looking quilts and fabulous grand and fur baby photos! Don't know if it helps or not but I used the aurifil #12 for my sashiko bear. Enjoy your stay in Queensland.
