Thursday today!!

This morning after a slow start I headed of to the Bellarine Quilters sewing session and had a sew with the lovely ladies there...I finished the Dresden plate...yay!!!!

I am happy with it and the other ladies were too!! Bonus!!! One day I would like to do more Dresden plates...one day!! Lol!!

a new lady came a long today, I am ashamed to say I can't remember her name!!! This is a beautiful quilt she made in Cambodia while her hubby was doing voluntary work there...the centre part, the rest was done in Aus. Isn't it beautiful? It is the Wonky Stars pattern.

I have shoved down lunch and we are now off to the city to take hubby to the hospital for some blood tests, then to meet family for a birthday gathering at the  Sherlock Holmes pub...we forgot it was St Patricks day today and that they have Guiness on tap...could be a loud  dinner!!

Happy sewing.

St Leonards sewing

This morning despite the strong wind I rode my bike down the street to go to sewing group...three of us are working on the Dresden plate for the Bellarine Quilters raffle quilt...Jill has finished hers so didn't have it with her, but Mary had hers

Mary is making hers with all Japanese fabrics...looks very pretty.

On the way home the wind had stopped...well very nearly. no surf this afternoon

tide was way out, but the sun was wonderful....love those clouds

the pelicans had returned...they disappeared in the bad weather yesterday

interesting place to sit

this does not look comfortable but the pelican was happy!!

this afternoon I had a swim...well a wallow!!

I have been working on this little quilt, just need to sew closed the opening and trim the cottons,

and this was already finished, they are going to the Bellarine Quilters tomorrow to add to the pile of Quilts for others. Off to sort some dinner now!

Happy sewing.

A finish and a new beginning

Yesterday I finished the latest block for the New Hegagon quilt...fixed up my woops!!

and today Mary and Jill came over and helped me put together fabrics for a Dresden plate...something I haven't made before. Twenty of us at the Port Arlington group have been asked to make a plate, we have been given two fabrics and use our stash for the rest.  Most of this fabric is from Mary and Jill, they wouldn't let me use batiks!!! All the plates will be put together in a quilt, and that will be the raffle quilt at the Port quilt show in November this year.

this will be a very summery block! Right I am off to do some more work on the Aussie Hero quilt.

Happy sewing.
