"Go Baby"

I had a trip down to "The Country Yard" yesterday and had a play with the go baby cutter. They sent me home with a white facecloth and this is what I made.

Another Bag!!!

Well what a productive weekend nearly finished a quilt for a baby that is due today so that is a great effort for me usually the child is nearly ready for school. Also decided I had to have another BAG believe it or not - haven't got the handles on yet, still debating what type I will put on.

Back Again

Well Well finally back here again after a break. Sewing has taken over my life as well as other things. Here is some of my completed works.

OUR TRIP TO AUSTRALIA

We had a lovely time in Australia - took the train down to Warrnambool 3-4 hours and babysat our grandies for 5 days 4yrs. and 9mths. it was lovely we did lots together park, beach, etc. But sad we did not have the time to visit other family Son daughter-in-law and grandson in Shepparton but will spend a week with them in March hopefully, but they are all coming over to the beach for 10 days at christmas - can't wait. I managed to visit the only quilting shop I could find - bought some patterns - so some new projects once again on the go LOL.

Viewers Choice

This is what won viewers choice at the Country Yard Exhibition I was very excited about this. This was most enjoyable to make.

The Garden At The Country Yard

I just love the gardens - I took a lot of photos.

Sneak Look

This is a sneak preview of something I am making - can't reveal all yet.!!!

Quilting exhibition

What a wonderful day was had at the Country Yard Quilting Exhibition. There was some beautiful work on display - some very talented ladies out there - the mini quilt challenge saw entries come from everywhere great to see such enthusiasm. Jacki's Kiwiana quilt is just gorgeous great use of these fabrics.

Stitchery

I have finished my stitchery - will be giving it to Raewyn tonight, I sort of did my own thing a bit with butterfly just had fun.

Embroidered Table Centre Piece

I am full of the flu - but slowly working away on this one. I want it to be finished for "The Country Yard Exhibition". So here is a sneak peak.

Super King Size Bed Quilt

Here is a peak of this quilt, what a mission to quilt, Leeanne I "take my hat off to you" for all the great quilting you do. I tied myself up in knots trying to quilt this - at long last I am putting the binding on. And guess what!!!??? It is so warm now we don't need it LOL.

Log Cabin

Hi I have been very busy in the nest - making log cabin blocks - 32 OF THEM - so pleased they are finished. But all looks great.

New Quilt

Hi again, well at long last I have taken some photos of my quilt. Very pleased with the finished quilt. I learnt a lot from this class at The Country Yard and taken by Ans. Thanks Ans. Thanks also to Leeanne for suggesting to shadow around the flowers.

More camelias

Just couldn't resist these camelias - unbelievable that they come off the same tree. Something you probably didn't know about me - I used to collect porcelain shoes, these ones came from Italy.

Busy in the Nest

This is what I am working on at the moment - quilting the beginners quilt. I have learnt so much by doing this class, techniques I hadn't done before.

Nature

I saw this beautiful camelia on my tree so just had to share it with you.

My 60th Birthday

These lovely ladies made me a special 60th birthday quilt.
