It really is the end of October. eeeeeeekkkkk
We have spent a bit of time helping Grandson #2 settle in.... He has stayed in town most of this week with his cousin Widget. He has an Ausi bank account and a job lined up for next week --- so that is a good start to his working time here.
Hubz had a itsy bitsy thing that could be a potential problem cut out his leg, his car to be serviced, take the grandiboys out for pub supper, blah blah blah so plenty of trips to town.
I did go to sewing with Tuesday girls this week and hand stitched down the binding for this little cot quilt. It's a panel so there was no piecing to be done, a wide meander quilting and that's it. I have another similar panel ready to be loaded up. (using up what I have though no more babies are expected in my family for time being (till the next generation starts!))
I finished the first outline for my hardanger lessons. I wasn't able to go this week but I know I need to do 2 more outlines - just waiting on some threads I ordered online to arrive.... (it will be a sampler of different stitches)
A few more squares knitted. I will keep going with these but start a baby blanket as KOGO are calling out for baby things.
That's my week really..... a wild storm early in the week and it feels like it is brewing another, hot and humid and summer hasn't started yet!
This next weeks goal is to get some of my 'odd blocks' and make up zippy bags, or at least have them prepared. I will endeavour to make them correctly and not have my blocks ending up as the lining, which I have done previously.
Righto, Gotto Go... Step one is to sort through those odd blocks....
Have a lovely weekend....xx

That's a cute panel - makes a nice little quilt. Your first hardanger square looks good - fun part to come! xx
Lovely to have your grandson for an extended stay! I like your Hardanger start, and the baby animal quilt is very cute.
That cot quilt is so sweet Fiona - sometimes just a panel can turn out so lovely. Your knitted squares sitting in that thing - is that a blocker & do you wet them to sit them in it? Sorry I am not familiar with lots of knitting related gadgets. Have a great weekend Fiona. xx
That's a sweet panel you have beautifully quilted. Look forward to seeing more progress on your Hardanger. Glad UK Grandson is settling....welcome to Aus xx
Pleased GS has settled in Aus.
Cute baby quilt finished.
Your Handanger stitches are lovely.
Nice pile of KOGO squares.
Good to have the grandchildren and Hubz all sorted out.
That little panel has turned into a lovely baby quilt.
This baby quilt is beautiful... what wonderful motifs!
And your Hardanger embroidery turned out beautifully... so much work! I wish you much happiness and joy with it, and I wish the same for your grandchild as they settle in.
Warm regards from Viola.
I remember when Widget was just a wee thing - now pub lunches. The panel quilted up nicely and the KOGO blocks an are nice and colourful. Have fun. With the hardanger.
Beautiful little quilt Fiona, and a great pile of KOGO squares, good luck with the odd blocks.
