Thought Bubbles

 The blocks for Thought Bubbles are done and the sashings sewn on, I have one border on and one to go, plus all the little circles that now go on the sashings.

We have also been given a challenge by the Bellarine Quilters, we have been given this

a tea towel, it could be a bag, a table runner, a quilt centre my thinking cap is on. Luckily we have the rest of the year to make this.

Happy stitching.

Some sewing

 Yes some sewing has been happening in between grand mother duties and reading, a bit of walking and bike riding.

Stitching is progressing on the Thought Bubbles Quilt

Blogger decided this one had to be side on!! I am getting borders on as blocks are finished.

One block to go and they will all be finished and can be joined into a little quilt.

I have been slowly stitching away at Tea and Cake, still a way to go, but I am slowly getting there.

A little flannel blanket for Finn

This was a mini quilt I made for Ingrid for last Christmas

and here is Finn, this photo is from 2 days ago.

I had a bike ride last week to Indented Head, the weather was beautiful. Indented Head is the lump of land you can see in the distance. I did 11.8km that day, thank goodness for an e bike, or I would have been exhausted.

The old steam boat wreck at Indented Head

The beach on the way home.

Last week we went up to Ballarat as David had  neuro appointment, we stayed the night before at Lake Burrumbeet.

This photo is from the way home, we stopped in Buninyong to do an Adventure Lab and to get lunch, this bike and the one below were at the RSL

These poppies were made of metal I think.

The view from our cabin at lake Burrumbeet, the busiest we have ever seen it. The lake is full as was the camp ground. 

the sun starting to go down

a  little further

and gone

Saturday I joined in (late) with Chooky and Co for a zoom and stitch session, it was a smaller group by the time I joined, but it was great to see and hear everyone.

Thought I could sneak in another one!!

This is an out of focus photo  but this is the last Aussie Hero quilt I made, the request was for the ships crests, map of the world and food. Fingers crossed he likes it!!

I am off to get some dinner

Happy stitching.

Quilt In Bacchus Marsh

 Yesterday Maria and I went up to Bacchus Marsh to attend the Quilt In there, the speaker was Leesa Chandler, there were lots of pop up shops, I got to catch up with Tracee and most of the City Girls, Marina unfortunately couldn't come but she was there in spirit 😀

Well blogger has reversed all my photos for some reason, one of the Thought Bubble blocks, slowly progressing

another Thought Bubble block

Leesa Chandler and one of her quilts, her talk about producing her fabric line was very interesting.

Marina went with Elyte to make a cuppa

She had a chat with Barb

did some fabric shopping

enjoyed some chocolate, she had a busy day actually!! 😂

I did get an almost group photo, but the ladies were all listening and looking to the stage. Not good timing on my part!

a beautiful quilt seen during show and tell.

Some serious looking conversation happening with Robyn and Maria.

The quilt covered car out the front - once we saw this we knew we were in the right place. We had a great day and managed to get in and out of the car between rain showers. 

I am progressing with the Aussie hero Quilt, the pieces are all pinned in place, it has been sandwiched and it currently being quilted. I am attaching the pieces using free range quilting, so the attaching and quilting happens at the same time. I like the way the body pieces puff up as you sew them.

I had better be off and do some more on the panda.

Happy stitching.
