End of the month

 And challenge #7, the quilt top is finished. Yippee!! I did have a few hiccups on the way (again)

something looked wrong here 😁

Mmmmm another woopsie

Phew, many hours later!!!

the quilt top is finally finished - this is based on the Daylesford Quilt pattern by Jen Kingwell.

We had some visitors to the garden, first time since we have lived here, the cockatoos came and were munching on the wisteria - they picked flowers had one bite and threw the rest on the ground!!

I do love to see them in the garden but not when they eat the flowers I like to have around. I went and told them off, they flew up onto the roof and clumped around up there for a while and then flew away.

Yesterday I went to Torquay to do some geocaching, it was raining and cool when I left but as the day went on it fined up and warmed up

Looking over Torquay, the rain heading to Melbourne

Bells Beach - a huge surf carnival is held here  around Easter, Sunday things were quiet.

I had better be off and get some dinner.

Happy stitching.

Today

has been a beautiful day, sun shining, faint breeze, birds are singing and the mosquitoes are out in large numbers. I have been weeding the garden but after an hour and a half I decided enough was enough. I have a mosquito repellent bracelet but today it didn't do much repelling. Back inside now to make a cockatoo, well after doing this post!

The Supervisor and I on our wander this morning

Some gum flowers on a little gum tree

Locals checking out the real estate

and another one

These tiny green orchids are growing in the bush

One cockatoo put together, ready to iron in place. This will be the front of the laundry bag.

And because we haven't had enough!! This galah was giving the bird box the once over, some renovations are happening around the opening!!

Right I am off to create another cockatoo.

Happy stitching.

Woo Hoo!! Finish

Today the  Aussie Hero Quilt  is finished and in the post to it's new owner. Yay!!!

Thank you Tania for being my stretchy quilt displayer!!

Had a visit from the local wildlife last night - I made some gluten free muffins and they were horrible so out they went to the birds - the cockatoos thought they were wonderful!! They took one each and sat on the bird feeder munching away!

Keeping an eye on me!

Yes I am watching too!!

Happy sewing!
