January

Happy Australia Day to all. The hilight of my day was cheering on my sister who won first prize in a local art competition that is held each year. Her win was most unexpected by her. On the quilting from I have been busy with a couple of large reproduction quilts for Joanne and then for a change, a bright childs panel for another and now one in Tilda fabrics. So pretty and feminine. I am not colour predudice. I love them all.

Stitching this week

I have survived the heat of last week. And even managed a little sewing on my New York Beauty. I had 24 blocks left to do, and finished 12 of those last week. I also quilted a Beatrix Potter panel on the frame. Real Cute.

Busy November & December

I have been busy with the local agricultural show. I organise the cat section. So that takes care of November. I have done a couple of quilts and then the Christmas rush starts. This is the quilt we raffled at the show.

Next was dinner at CAsablanca for my sisters birthday . Yummy lamb roast.

Then busy with a couple of quilts off the frame for Frances and Christine and amoungst it all my cruise control gave up the gohst so I' now just using the speed control. Will have to get it checked out after christmas.

One for me

A quilt just because. I bought the fabric at the craft fair this year. Made the top at retreat in October. Put the border on yesterday and quilted it today. The weeds in the garden are still growing. Will get the binding on later in the week I did have time to show some beauty from the garden.

Busy Again

Some finishes for the week. Two quilts off the frame and the black & white is a quilt Imade at retreat. I got hte pattern from Moda Bakeshop. Made it from my stash

I am trying to get the weeds in the garden under control but I have got the weed killer spray out this week to help. I also finished another top that I started at retreat. Its on the frame and I hope to start quilting it tomorrow. Its to be raffles for our cat club.

Something mum gave me.

After the weekend away, I came down with a cough which has developed into a horrid cold.  Thanks Mum.  The weekend was mostly wasted because I felt like crap.  But the antibiotics must be doing some good. Looking forward to this coming weekend at Camp Clayton.  A group of us tassy squilters have a great time sewing eating relaxing reading walking sleeping...

This is Lynettes quilt that I finished this week.  Hope she likes it.

Late again

Some more finishes from the frame.

And a weekend away with family..  We stayed at Orani House at Sorell.  If the weather had been kinder our Saturday would have been more enjoyable.
