We spent a couple of days and a night at the coast. Great friends from the old country were visiting and we went to meet up with them on the Sunday . Hubz had some business on Monday so he left me in the unit for some peace and quiet with this view.....
... of course I found something to do.....
... and watched a cargo ship go sailing past.....
Then sewing with the Tuesday Sampler girls we got these blocks done....
 |
| Swamp Patch (25 pieces) |
 |
| Steps to the Altar (24 pieces) |
 |
| Sarah's Favourite (32 pieces) |
 |
| Windblown Square (32 pieces) |
I've missed out some pics from other weeks but we are now up to 59 (out of 140) blocks and a total count of 1227 incy wincy pieces put together....
Then I worked with corflute, cotton wadding and duct tape......
... to make my nice new big design board - it's in 4 pieces so I can take down and add to it as I please....
... this is the row by row quilt I was doing the last bit of applique on.... that's a top finished now. Thanks to Kris who passed on the rows to me - I love it
... I also spent some time getting to know my new sweetie pie....
... and ended off the week with a wonderful workshop at The Quilters Angel making this tuffet....
... half way through I got hopefull about nice big cups being needed for a new bra....
I used fabrics from a William Morris range... classic and timeless I think. Lovely day and so nice coming home with a beautiful finished item...
In the meantime I managed to wipe out my 'Feedly' list, which is what I rely on for my reading of all my favourite blogs so I am slowly rebuilding that. Grrrrrr, I prefer spending time reading, commenting and sewing!
This weekend so far I have helped Hubz empty and clean out the very humungous slimey mosquito wriggly filled fish pond we inherited. You don't need a slimey picture ....... but one day I'll show you it all fixed up with sweet little fishies in it... actually I think we could probably raise a barramundi or two in it!
Righto, Gotta Go..... I would like a quiet restful day - and I hope you have one too....xx
