I finished a KOGO blanket before we went away
It has now been delivered to the local chemist for delivery.
I have finished my block for the Rainbow Connectiin quilters, I had a lot of trouble with the Y seams and lots of unpicking had to happen
The trimming happens when it gets to Betty, I now have the next fanric for two Bears Paw blocks for this month or maybe next month 😳.
I have finally finished the applique on the Under the Sea quilt, started during a class with Kathy Doughty from Material Obcession. It was supposed to be a garden with big leaves and flowers on a black and white checked background, but as I had the blue fabric I decided to do under the sea 🌊.
Some of my under the sea leaves/seaweeds could have been bigger I guess but I am happy with it. Now the quilting begins!
I saw this amazing mural in Geelong last Friday, I had a quick walk before having an iron infusion and another infusion for Crohns, then a two hour wait to see if I had a reaction....wasn't expecting that! But they fed me well and made a great cuppa so no complaints from me!
I started some quilting on a quilt for my SIL's dog and managed to sew the backing in underneath at the same time. I think I was being told to stop, enough for one day. Is all unpicked and ready to go again. I made a quult for my BIL, he loves it, but the dog wants to sleep on it at night, hence this quilt can cover the other one and be a dog quilt.
I had a walk around the lake at Drysdale and spied these rabbits, not worried about me at all.
Sunrise this morning was stunning. Worth being up early for!
I am off to attempt some more quilting now, I will ensure the quilt is flat before starting 😁
Happy stitching.
The under the sea quilt is great! You are so creative. The rabbits are very sweet, but the one on the tracks scares me.
ReplyDeleteThose Y seams gave a few people trouble. Go you, for conquering them.
ReplyDeleteGoiodness, yes, well worth getting up early! I love, Under The Sea - there is plenty of space down there - no need for crowding lol. xx
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing sunrise and love the mural!!
ReplyDeleteTwo hours is indeed a long wait. You needed some crafting to pass the time . Hope you got some biscuits with the cuppa
Well done with the blanket and I love your under the sea quilt..... pity about the reverse stitching needed.... good luck with the next quilting session, I love the dog is getting it's own quilt to go on top of the other quilt....

hope everything went well with your infusions. your under water quilt is gorgeous, well done!
ReplyDeletenever done y seams before and I don't think I want too...... lol
Stunning sunrise pic Sue. I love your under the sea quilt & that blue fabric is just perfect. That mural is stunning. I hope the infusions all went okay & you are feeling more energised Sue. How special that the dog is getting his own quilt. Madam Pippi still uses the little quilted ginger cat one you sent to me. She loves it. xx
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cool block that you've sewn for Betty - well worth the y-seam effort!! So good to see your Under the Sea quilt finished - it's beautiful - well done!! Hope the infusions all help ♥ Beautiful sunrise - woohoo you were up to see it!
ReplyDeleteLove the mural, and the sunrise....and there are rabbits here in the caravan park and so tame.....
ReplyDeleteI am glad that they took good care of you while you were waiting. Hope you are feeling better now. I have trouble with y-seam too!! Under the Sea quilt looks wonderful. So nice that you are making a quilt for his dog. Love the rabbit photo and the sunrise is amazing!!
