This week

I decided it was time to scrub the table on the front deck and to sandwich a quilt that has been on the spare bed for months, it was breezy outside but pleasant

We had the grand fur kids over for the afternoon

They enjoyed their dog peanut butter biscuits

Earlier in the day I had a walk with Beth and Finn

The bookcase quilt has been quilted by Joan and has the binding on, now for a hanging sleeve 

Yesterday I went into Geelong to see an exhibition of Wool and Art quilts at the Wool Museum

It is a amazing old building

This was my favourite, the quilting was stunning

such wonderful detail in the background 

This pledge was in a pocket on the quilt below

This was another favourite

Also on display 

A wedding dress using lace table cloth and doilies 

The coat on the right is made by a NZ born Korean man, made in Korean style

Dress on the left using batik traditions and on the right using Aboriginal weaving

And a bollard of the artist who made all the bollards around Eastern Beach in Geelong.

One last quilt, loved the colours and the tiny blocks

Happy stitching.

Friday already

This week has flown past, I was up in Gisborne Wednesday for hairdressing and also took a friend up to see some of her friends...they have known each other for 30 years so enjoyed a good catch up.
Yesterday I had some happy mail

Unfortunately blogger has decided to put it sideways, but they are 5 minute and 10 minute blocks I am going to have a go at making.

Also in the latest Down Under quilts magazing there is an article about the last Guild Quilt In

It is great to see the article, lots of names I know on the hexie quilt, but also my rotation block, #16 at the top of the page, pretty exciting for me!! Lol!!

I have been painting the Christmas swap blocks

Two to finish off and then the quilting begins.

The past President of the guild asked the committee to make her a block for a quilt to remember her years as President, the theme was the poem I love a Sunburnt Country

Again this is sideways I am sorry, I have painted and quilted the block, I hope Margaret likes it.

The dolls coverlet and the doorway are completed and ready to go to Guild tomorrow.

I had better get organised and take the supervisor for a walk, the whinging is getting louder!!

Happy sewing.
