May

 Where have the last few weeks gone?? Time for yet another catch up.

We got back from Baradine to find the builders had been busy

Bathroom gone, toilet door gone and frame in for the new wall

Kitchen gone, not every day you find the bath in the kitchen!! (I hasten to add it will not be staying there) 😄

Ensuite gone, new shower base in.

Not much has happened since Easter, the plasterers are supposed to be coming this week sometime.

Last three weeks Anthology blocks.

One I spy Quilt is finished and taken to quilting group.

I started sewing some blocks I was given , I made quite a few but they are now back in the bag as they are all odd sizes and I do not know what the owner of the blocks was intending to do with them, so they will wait for another day.

More of the above

and more, hard to work out a pattern with these ones, they might end up in blocks of four with black borders with all the colours mixed together.

Chooky has a few zoom sessions, it was wonderful to join in and have a catch up when I can.

I was pottering away the other day, binding a quilt when I remembered a sheet I had with churn dash blocks......the squirrel popped in and this happened!!I have been using up charm packs, some whole, some with bits missing, the blocks finish at 13 inches, so I figured 4 x 4 blocks would make a nice quilt

I was sewing away happily and then realised I had done this, so some umsewing had to happen

I got to the last block and realised I had done this on both end pieces 😡, I was not a happy camper I can tell you!! More unsewing happened and I finished the block, happy in the knowledge 16 blocks were done and today could be joining together day. But no, on checking the blocks I find I have 15 😖 so today I need to make another one, of course most of the fabric from the charm packs I have been using is gone, so I will have to find something else.

This photo does not really show the colour in the night sky as I made my grumpy way downstairs!! It did cheer me up a little.

The Superheros quilt is finished and has gone to quilt group, it will be given to the Southern Cross kids camp next month.

And The Cat in the Hat is finished, it is going to the Ukranian Church and community centre, either to be used as a fund raiser or to be given to a child who is being relocated to Geelong.

Ok I am off upstairs to make that last remaining block.

Happy stitching.

PS

Here is the seal who made the local boat ramp it's home for a few weeks. Sadly it has gone now, some of the fishermen who launch their boats here did not like the fact that one ramp was closed off to keep the seal safe and demanded he/she be taken away. The day people from the Zoo arrived to collect him/her, it was gone, hopefully swam away into the bay and safety.

Photos I forgot

After doing the Scrub Stitching posts I was scrolling thru photos on my phone and found some more I would like to have on the blog...love the memories and thoughts they bring back.

Cat in the Hat quilt top finished, thank you Jo for your help and encouragement!!

Chooky had a 6am zoom session for an hour  I was up late, no surprise there and found Jenny outside with the sun coming up thru the cypress trees

some Aussie ladies, Kiwi ladies , Canadian ladies and American ladies - I hope that was right!

A Cat in the Hat pillowcase to go with the quilt, again thank you Jo for your guidance and help, not much fabric left over now!

Melinda's Elmer elephant  which will be the centre of a quilt for her son.  Made with foundation paper piecing, first time for Melinda and included curved seams, she is amazing!

Sunday morning sewing

I saw this wee frog late Saturday night, it was very shy,  but the next one I saw posed happily

First time I have seen a green tree frog in the wild  I was quietly excited!!☺

I think that is all now, I had better get sorted and de idea what to do today, it has been raining gently for most of the night and is still raining. Perfect weather for sewing and Quilting.
