I'm doing a bit of catch up today...... have had a busy couple of weeks...
I have been continuing to join my field journal hexagons..... happy with how they are looking
I am at the half way point now, except I will make half hexagons to go on the top row to straighten it out.... (the same on the bottom)
I finally bound this panel I quilted ages ago when I was trying some new to me quilting....
Not very big and has a sleeve to hang
Scraps continue to be chopped, I have a small pile still waiting to be pressed and chopped but my little scrap baskets all got a wash and air dry....
Cleaning up I found these little quilts which I finished some time ago and don't think I posted about them....
I started them when little ones were needed for a charity, they will do for little pictures or table mats - I will see if they are needed somewhere....
A week away - moonlight over the ocean .....
We stayed on the South Coast and had a couple of ferry trips to Coochiemudlo Island (at the moment public transport is 50c) so it's a bit of a novelty for us.
Saw the Curlews (last year I made a postcard to send off to help preserve their habitat)
Fun yarn bombing on the island - it is an easy walk around the whole island.... you can see boats in the background... there were so many boats and yachts there
The main reason for the trip was to watch the giant Widget in National Touch Rugby games. 9 games altogether and 2 evening training sessions - so a big week.
Nail-biting last game which Queensland won...... a bit exciting
In between games we went to see the lighthouse and wanted lunch at Queenslands oldest licenced pub (built in 1851) but it is closed for renovations....
Also had an afternoon catch up with Susan and Michelle which was lovely and sped by too fast.
... and of course had an evening walk ending with fish and chips....
I took my knitting and got 10 squares done over the week......
So there we have it, fun fun fun...
Righto, Gotto Go, quick trip to town to buy some dressmaking fabric....
Have a lovely week....xx
Well, you've certainly been busy, Fiona.....makes us tired keeping up with you! Love the Field Journal.
ReplyDeleteYour field journal blocks are coming together so well and looking great.
ReplyDeleteA good finish on the small hanging and the little quilts. So cute.
Looks like you had a lovely time away with loads to do and people to see.
It’s so nice to see Field Journal taking shape and fun for you to revisit your older creations. I wonder how long it will take you to I refill your scrap baskets? Your trip sounds marvellous. Oh my, is that really Widget? How did that happen? Congrats on the win.
ReplyDeleteMmm, fish and chips. Loving how your hexies are coming together. Your panel and mini quilts look great. Cute baskets too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great week away - love the pirate! Field Journal is looking lovely and such a lot of lovely quilting on the panel. Haha, colourful baskets hanging on the line! xx
ReplyDeleteYou found some nice treasures during your clean up. The trip sounds wonderful. Folks were very creative with their yarn bombing.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear your week away was so lovely and enjoyable. Widget sure is giant now. The Field Journal is growing into a gorgeous quilt. Love the bird panel. Wonderful quilting in there, but my favourite picture is the baskets one. So fun! Is the pirate part of the welcoming committee, lol. Good progress on the knitting front. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteYou sure have been busy Fiona ... looks like a most wonderful get away. Glad you took some handwork along. Your field journal is looking so great. Love the panels & especially love the photo of all your baskets hanging up on the line. That would make such a great card!!! xx

ReplyDeleteFJ Hexie quilt is growing nicely.
Beautiful quilting on the bird panel and I’m sure you’ll find a home for the two cute wee quilts.
Boy Widget has grown. Congrats on the win.
Buying fabric sounds good, I'll do that quickly :-)))
ReplyDeleteYou've worked on some amazing things... your quilting around the little bird is great... it's a joy to see your work.
Thank you and best wishes from Viola
Field Journal is certainly growing - it looks huge! but very pretty. The little quilts night make good dolly quilts at a child care place...??
ReplyDeleteYour scrap buckets look so good on the line..
Was lovely to catch up.
Well done Widget & team!
A busy time in and out of the sewing room. Love Field Journal and pretty scrap baskets. Fish and chips are a must alongside the beach.
