This last week went by so fast I woke up this morning thinking it was Tuesday!!!! duh
Sunday was Mothers Day here.... local daughter was working and the rest are too far away but I did have a picnic lunch gifted by them to pick up...
It was a lovely assortment of goodies from a lovely family run cafe....
A local park had live music on and it was a perfect Autumn day for sitting and enjoying...
I did take my crochet, but I kept making mistakes and did more undoing than doing.... (could have been that bottle of sparkling wine though)
I made more of my little blocks....
Now I have enough for the centre of the medallion.....
Tuesday was High Tea Cuppa for Cancer morning tea at Quilt Group...
There was also an Op-shop fashion show which was a bit of a giggle....
I won a trim ruler as a door prize....
On another day my Aida arrived.... this year I will learn blackwork with a few friends...
Wednesday was some quilting time and I did this sweet baby quilt made from the leftovers that I really loved...
swirls and hearts and feathers.....
Then I pulled out some fabric I have had for ages and started chopping it up to make a quilt...
Thursday I had a couple of friends over for sewing..... I got on and made up microwave bowl holders. They only use 10" squares so I was able to find lots amongst the recent gift of scraps I was given....
I didn't read the sign on this piece.... !!!! I better keep that one myself or I might lose a friend!!!
There is a good assortment.. I made 9 which is an strange number but that was how many wadding pieces I cut out from the scraps!
And now it is Saturday and not Tuesday so I will have to get this weeks quilting job done.....
Righto, Gotto Go..... coffee first...
Have a lovely weekend....
Time does seem to be flying, doesn't it? What a great week you had with lots of delicious looking food. Wow those blocks are fantastic and look magical all together. It's gonna be a fab quilt.

ReplyDeleteAny wonder you lost track of time! You have been soooo busy. Love the bowls and those foundation pieced blocks look awesome all together. Great idea for Mothers Day. Mine was uneventful as always.
ReplyDeleteGosh you've achieved heaps Fiona. I love the look of that picnic lunch & what a great gift - I just love that idea!!
ReplyDeleteLovely to enjoy your Mothers Day treat outdoors. The little blocks are brilliant - they are going to be stunning all together. I do love blackwork - have fun playing with your new technique. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a splendid picnic. Love your blocks, they make such an interesting pattern. Your bowl holders look very useful, seems you have had a very busy but enjoyable week. Have a nice weekend xcx
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy week you have had......makes me dizzy trying to keep up with you! The Mother's Day lunch was a lovely idea. I have done blackwork, it's very meditative - I love it, and have a whole book devoted to it.
ReplyDeleteA very busy week with lots of crafting as well a lovely Mother’s Day picnic and Cancer High Tea....
ReplyDeleteYour tiny EPPed blocks look stunning as the centre of the medallion...
Have fun with the blackwork...
Those EPP blocks create a wonderful pattern.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh! I so love your quilting on the baby quilt. So lovely! The tiny little pineapple blocks make such a wonderful design when they all come together. I love that too. High Tea for Cancer had a lovely tablecloth. Was it embroidery or painted? Congrats on your winnings. I think you received the best Mother's Day gift I've seen so far. What thoughtful children you have. Enjoy! ;^)

ReplyDeleteI can't keep up with all your projects. So many lovely things happening.
ReplyDeleteLove the picnic lunch for Mother's Day. What a delightful idea.
What a lovely way to spend Mother’s Day. The picnic was the perfect gift. I love the FPP blocks. So much work in them. High tea looks very flash. You should enjoy the Blackwork. I made a runner with it as a textiles project at school.
ReplyDeleteYour tiny blocks look quite spectacular together, you have lot of patience :-)

Had a laugh at the dieting fabric! No, don't give that to a friend or she'll always wonder what you think of her! Great variety in those scrap squares, lots of fun prints :)
