Since

Returning home life has been busy, appointments for hubby and myself,  grass to cut, gardens to weed, house to clean, all that stuff, plus tone to be spent with this young man 
Who has discovered what you can do with his Grandmothers phone!! 
I have finished one of the Christmas quilts to go to the special care nursery at SJOG 
I have sewn together one of the charm packs I found at the Albury (I think) quilt shop Raewyn will correct me if I have the wrong place 😉 plus some batik fabric
It looked a bit bland so I added a purple border and then used up the rest of the batiks
One patchy quilt top done.  Happy the top is sewn together and the fabric hasn't taken up residence on the fabric shelves! 
We have had some lovely days this last week
We had some visitors to the front deck one day recently 
This one let me hand feed it for a little while , it enjoyed the seed cereal topper.
I am off to Gisborne next week  for a retreat  8 of us to sew up a storm!! 
Happy stitching

  2. You have such a busy life, Sue. Another quilt retreat...how wonderful! That view from your deck is a calm and lovely one. Fabulous the birdlife visit you. Lots of colourful fabrics in the quilt. The purple border was a good idea.

  6. I think Aussie birds are so colorful and beautiful as is your view of the ocean.
    The border on the charm pack quilt made all the difference. It has a 3 dimensional look to it.
