Catching up again 😃

I am happy to have had a few finishes

A cat quilt finished for Shane and Rillas cats -  front

Back...they can swap around as they like 

A cushion cover made from left over backing from a baby quilt

A bag with a little NZ purse went to Jenny in NZ for a cancer fund-raising lunch, it looked great when Jenny wrapped it up

I had a walk around the lake at Drysdale on Monday

It was a bit cold and windy with spotty rain 

This gum tree was heaving with rainbow lorrikeets busy feeding on the blossom

I saw these mosaic pictures on a fence.

I have read a few books lately, I really enjoyed these.

One small grandson after a trip with his Mum and Dad.

One sunny afternoon walk past the boat ramp. Pelicans waiting for the fishing people to come back in 😄

David and I went to the light show in the Geelong Botanic Gardens,  it was amazing

Ok my phone has stopped cooperating with loading photos so I will finish up here and continue later.  Now I am on the lap top so lets see how we go here!  

 I took many more photos and some videos - I have no idea how to load them here, so you are all spared that!! Although the talking tree was really good.

And finally the baby quilt is finished now and ready to go to it's new home

Such a cute image

And Eunice's Flower Garden is also finished.

Happy stitching.

This week

 has seen more block making, some quilting and some prep for another quilt. I was given 24 quilts for the oncology ward so I have been sewing labels on them in the evening.

This is the Sylvia block from two weeks ago but I don't think I recorded it finished

This weeks Anthology block is called Bars.

I made another Storm at Sea block, 5 made 11 to go!

I made two fpp heart blocks this week, this is how they finish 

They look so much better once trimmed.

Sylvia's Sampler block this week is Clay's Choice.

The cat quilt is finished and will be going to its new owner Monday.

I have been making EPP kite blocks into hearts, I saw on Instagram that a lady pinned hers all down to wadding and backing and then sewed a row of zig zag, I thought that was a good idea, so that is what I am trying. It took all afternoon to iron and starch the hearts and take the papers out. The rows are pinned and the zig zag has started, just one row so far. Hopefully it works! Got to try anyway!!

The hexies are coming along well, I have 5 more to join onto the outer edge and then some big flowers to make to become the next row. I have used a lot of the hexies I had left over so now it is onto making new ones.

Off to do another row of zig zag!

Happy stitching.
