bit of an update

 working on a farewell present for a collague that is retiring soon

 disappearing 9 patch in colour combo outside of my comfort zone!

 quick trip to Spotlight day and these followed me home....really!

 from my walk this morning

and another one

Julz

done!

 ok that's the top completed...

very happy with how it has turned out...

used a lovely tone on tone grey with a very fine print for the rest of the sashing squares,

now for the border

thinking about using this dark grey and appliqueing the blocks to it,

then either heavy quilting in the grey or

some applique with some of the remaining fabrics...

haven't got much left so some big decisions to come!

lovely morning for a walk

this weekend!

think Friday will be the day I go

last block done

last block has been sashed!

now to finish the crosses and the setting squares,

and then it's time to finish sewing these together

before deciding how I'm going to finish the whole thing/

Lucy update...

sorry it's been a while since I posted here
too many other things on the go, not all sewing related!
so all the blocks are finished

 and with the sashings done in a lovely tone on tone cream

 playing with ideas for the joining squares and the crosses...

I think I have decided...

totally different to the above ideas,

will post photos soon

it's on again!

holiday update

yes that's right I've been on holidays for the last week and a bit,

there's too much to do here!

we bought another water tank and moved that into it's new position,

still needs to be connected,

started cleaning  up the sewing room,

yeah, still going with that one,

moved stuff,

found stuff (forgot I had it),

thrown out stuff (crap!),

made a new mess...

 

start of a new quilt....

still working on my LBs

 have got the sashings around 5 of them now...
lots of walks...

quite a bit of eating out,

so more walks needed there!

very hot here this week,

summer has finally come to Victoria!

I'm off to do some more "cleaning" in the sewing room and maybe some stitching under the AC,

it's going to be 37 today!
