This week

we have Ingrid and Nick staying, we girls are sewing up a storm

Here is the back of the table runner I couldn't up load last week. The kowhai fabric is from NZ.

A centre block of the Old Time Kaleidoscope block is under way.

A quilt was sandwiched out in the sunshine

Ingrid got her quilt top together, so many beautiful blocks

My scrappy stack and slash is all together

I have put the pink borders on a panel and have a quilt top, super quick way to a quilt top.

Ingrid put the scrappy border on her quilt top

and joined fat quarters for the backing

Over the road the galahs have been enjoying the late afternoon sunshine

beautifully observing social distancing

most of the time!!

Ingrid has her snowball quilt top together, the little pinwheels make a feature in the sashing!

Ingrid's frist attempt at foundation paper piecing and her Anthology block for this week

second paper piecing efforts! Pretty good! 

My Anthology block for the week.

I seem to have resolved the photo issue for the moment, fingers crossed!!

More to come tomorrow but for now I am off to do some more sewing.

Have a wonderful day.

Wild and windy

The weather has been super windy today, a few rain showers but no storms as was predicted.
Yesterday..
                                               
I went for a walk along the Bellarine Rail trail and the weather was quite different! I was looking for geocaches, found 2 out of four...one on my way back, I am not sure how I missed it in the first place!

I passed this marker post at one stage G = Geelong, Q = Queenscliff and D = Drysdale.

this grasshopper  kept flying in front of me, so I tried to sneak up for a photo, it had beautiful yellow wings,

this morning however was a different story..

when the Supervisor and I went for a walk, the wind was howling and a few spots of rain fell

Last night I sewed together rows of knitted squares for a KOGO blanket, with the winter fast approaching there will soon be a demand for these.

Today I have made a table runner using a panel from NZ, I have to hand sew the binding. I have free range quilted around the birds and ferns.

and the coasters are finished. Quite like these so I might make some more.

It is cooling down here so I need to go and get some slippers I think..my feet are getting cold!

Happy weekend.
