Since getting home after our break I have done a bit of sewing....
This is the August block for Garden Sunshine.... it was a mixture of foundation piecing, piecing and applique....
… and I got back to Wings with a couple of blocks...
Lily and Dragonfly....
Bird in a Teacup....
A friend gave me this lovely King Orchid which has 4 spikes of flowers....
… and another postcard has been stitched.... I still have quite a few of these to do so I better get going with them...
I finished the first little penguin jumper.....
It's a very easy pattern and this will be my 'in the car' knitting project and just keep making them up as I go.... no rush but something to keep my hands busy when I'm a passenger...
Winter is 'officially' over now here.... I am hoping it means the end of coughs and colds ….. and it's already time to get those September things done!
Have a great week.....

Love your new blocks, the August block is amazing!
Still waiting for my king orchid to put out buds, don’t think I’ll be getting them this year but down here they flower closer to Christmas.
Mines yellow, they are stunning plants.
Pretty postcard and cute penguin coat.
Happy spring!

What lovely work you have done Fiona, and yes, spring has sprung and I am enjoying getting out on our front verandah to do some stitching in the lovely sunshine.
And I'm heading towards Fall. :^D
Love your August block. Such a bright and beautiful sunshine it is. Love your appliques especially the fabric for the teacup. Wow! When you do the embroidery, do you use a hoop?
Have a great week. ;^)
Your applique is beautiful and love your new stitchery and the penguin sweater is a beautiful shade, will look beautiful against the black and white coat.

Yay for spring and the end of hibernation. Your sun-shiney block is just perfect for the season and the promise of the beautiful days to come.
I love the wings blocks. Hope you're both feeling better now :)
All your blocks are lovely but the bird in a cup is my favourite .
Pretty orchids and nice Postcard block...
Oh! The wee penquin jumper is cute!!,
Love your appliqué
It is nice to get back into the sewing room after a break. Lovely work and that penguin jumper is so cute.
Your blocks are beautiful, especially the sun one. I'd never heard of penguin jumpers until you mentioned them, and now they have been talking about them on our local radio station.
Sometimes it takes a bit to get back into routine so it is lovely to see you enjoying some stitching time. Lovely blocks and cute penguin sweater.
Ohhh your Wings blocks like great....love them! Amazing golden block! Hugs to you for the penguin jumpers. I have to get back on track with my Postcards to name one lol!
Lovely work, Fiona......I wouldn't put away those winter woollies yet, September has only just started!
Nice progress Fiona. Those wings blocks are gorgeous and I love the sunflower. xx
You jumped right back into sewing in your projects! When I’ve been away, it takes me awhile to get back into the groove. Love everything you’re working on!
Oh, that sunshine block is wonderful! I've never seen one with patchwork in the center like that. Love it!
I like your blocks, specially the "bird in the teacup", lovely :-)
xx
Those flower blocks are so pretty! I love the little dragonfly! :0)
Oh I love your applique blocks Fiona! They are sooo sweet, and so neat :) xx
HI Fiona, I've just spent some lovely time catching up on your blog and see all your holiday photos. I really should pull up a map as I read travel posts so I get a picture of where the different towns/areas are! It sounds like you had a fantastic time and of course seeing family would have been a nice finish to your trip. Great that you had some travel projects going too, your socks and afghan look great. The applique blocks on this post are gorgeous!! Cant wait to start mine [fabric is slowly being gathered :-)] I've heard of the penguin jumpers before - a satisfying and cute knit.
Beautiful blocks and stitchery Fiona. The orchid is stunning. Very cute penguin jumper.
