Hello, how is everyone... we had such a cold cold weekend .... friends to stay and outings, wood fire, food, wine and plenty of laughs.
I have done a few blocks of the Scrappy Trip around the World. I have been trying to keep the strongest colour (of 6) central to make a sort of pattern..... these 4 blocks are not sewn together but just an indication of how they could come together.
This Moda Love quilt top is together (free pattern HERE) - its very bright.
We have a couple of aloes growing in the garden and they are looking splendid at the moment....
this one is harder to photograph but lovely red candlesticks! After they have finished flowering we will see how much we can divide them up then add more to the garden.
Joy finished the sweet Christmas in July design and I made mine up into a little mug rug .... thanks Joy for a little bit of mid year fun....
This weeks hand work is this applique on my Floral Fun wallhanging. I am doing mine in needleturn and am happy with how it is looking. Still quite a lot more applique to do so Caswell is going to be neglected for a while....
Otherwise, a bit of crochet, a bit of knitting, etc ... Makes a huge difference having some just gorgeous days where sitting on the veranda is a pleasure....
Righto, Gotto Go.... I am working on Jacks fishing quilt ..... I have to admit I'd much rather work to a pattern than make it up as I go..... I haven't found a backing I like to I have ordered a flannelette doona cover to improvise....
Take care, have a lovely weekend.....xx

You've had a productive week, Fiona!
A busy week. I love the aloe plants. The little Christmas mug rug looks great and the applique on Floral Fun is lovely. xx
Lots going on as always, the Christmas Mystery finished up really cute. Lovely to see your Moda love and your trippy blocks. The needle turn is looking good too.
You’re working on some lovely blocks…
Beautiful flowers blooming in the garden.
Enjoy doing your knitting/corcheting.
Very productive week for you!
Another busy week with some wonderful projects Fiona. Your aloe's are looking just stunning - they are amazing when they flower. We have had a few odd sunny days too & it makes such a difference. xx
Floral Fun is looking great and the Moda Love sure is bright. Such a quick fun make. The aloes are adding a lovely pop of colour to the garden.
Enjoyed catching up with all of your wonderful projects. I guess you wish it were warmer, and I wish it were cooler.
Lovely work on your projects. That is a great design for the Moda Love top. I like the result.
Your plants are enjoying the weather at your place. They look great.
Good luck with completing the fishing quilt.
Wow! So many different projects on the go. All beautiful.
Floral Fun has really come alive with the applique -good job on doing it by hand!
Trip around the world will be a great scrap project....could be tricky laying it out Looking forward to seeing it.
