Home again

I have been home again for over two weeks and no blog post! I have had good intentions and then somehow the day runs out. 
Front
back, a baby quilt for a friend's daughter,  quick one from a panel
Some time was spent with this young man
We have a new car, very happy with that
I have has lots of walks on the sunshine by the beach
Some sandwiching has been done in the sun
The pelicans were waiting for fishermen to return with their catch.

I finished a wasgij, took me what felt like ages just doing a bit here and there as time allowed, this was the puzzle
This was the lid box, not what you can see but what someone else can see.
We visited Shane and Rilla in Melbourne to wish Shane a happy birthday, Miffy decided my quilt would be her bed place for the night.
Rilla and I visited an art gallery to get Shane's birthday present, I snapped a few things that took eye
Love the chair
Street art outside 

Miffy checking out Shane's lunch
Saturday afternoon beach walk
Two KOGO blankets one sewn together readily for the crochet edge




One more row to be sewn here.
I was given 4 quilts to quilt today so will be busy on the weekend if I can get in some sewing time.
Ok enough from me, my dinner is cooked! 😋
Happy stitching.

  4. The days do seem to go so quickly. Lots has happened there and I love the new red car! I always look for some of my blocks on your KOGO blankets, but none seen so far! I sent my last blanket and blocks this week (well last for now) It's a great organisation.

  13. Hi Sue - we have had no internet all week & I am behind on blog posts - I am also ashamed to admit to how much I have missed it. 😉 Lets hope it holds out for now as our copper wires are not great apparently - due to the recent storms.
    Miffy is such a beautiful cat Sue. The art gallery looked very interesting & I love the colour of your new car. Gorgeous blankets finished too. A lovely post Sue. xx

  14. It's wonderful that you were able to spend time with your grandson...
    A blog break is absolutely necessary—we need it every now and then :-)))
    Your red car is great; I also bought a new one in November, and let me tell you... it's the same red—I'm so happy with it.
    I like your top—have fun quilting!
    And I like your wool blankets too. Super!
    Cheerful greetings from Viola
