Back again

 The last couple of weeks have flown by here, now we are in lockdown again, for 7 days this time, hopefully this will stop the virus spreading once again.

I have been sewing together knitted squares I was sent from KOGO I have had them for a few months and decided it was time to get on with them

the above two are finished

this one is laid out, I am still deciding on the placement of the many and varied colours

We had some lovely days last week, perfect for walking by the beach

pelicans were on three light poles

waiting for the fishermen/women to come back in and clean their fish, then the pelicans get a feed.

lovely day to be by the beach

Wednesday I took these quilts over to Homestead Care Home

This top was made by Fiona

they were happily received

We took them to a larger room to get a photo

two of the residents liked them too.

Wednesday afternoon two more Anthology blocks were made

I went out ot watch the moon eclipse for a while, it was interesting watching the colours change. 

Well that is me updated, I am off now to do some work on the Guild newsletter and then back to sewing.

Happy stitching

Sunday

 afternoon I decided out of the blue to make a quilt top I had had the pattern for, for a while, so I thought I had better get it finished today

So, one pixelated heart, made with left over charm squares - I find random quite hard, luckily I didn't see how the colours would work out until it was sewn into rows and then it was not going to be changed! I have a large bag of 5 inch squares cut for another project but might make this pattern again one day as it went together quite quickly.

Sunday was a nice day to be out sandwiching a quilt together, the breeze was a little cool but the sun was lovely.

In the big gum tree next door this galah was preening, chatting and generally showing off. I missed getting a photo of the wings out and the strutting up and down the branch.

Same bird

The view over the bay was lovely.

This morning I cooked up lasagne and macaroni cheese with bacon and onion, meals ready for later in the week.

I found out there was a new geocache down the beach not far from us so had to go and find that today when I went for a walk.

It was windy by the beach but refreshing

In the park area over from the beach the spring bulbs are flowering on mass!! No perfume but they look wonderful, and they survived the council mowing!!

I had better go sort dinner

Happy stitching.
