It has just been pointed out to me by my dear friend Bev, that it has been over 5 weeks since I have up dated my blog. Sorry.
But I have been a little busy. Time just seems to get away from you.
Finaly finished a quilt to put in the QLD quilt show. Black & white 9 patch.
August Bev & I had been busy doing the markets with the last of the shop stock. All done & dusted now, got rid of the lot. It sure felt great to see the end of that project. Winter morning, up early & off to the markets is not always fun.
Megan & her new car. She was suppose to do the jump in the air, like the Toyota adds but she just wouldn't play the game.
Mum arrived for a holiday in the middle of August. Its always great to have Mum come for a holiday. I didn't get much done in the sewing line but we sure did a lots of gardening. Everything this looking lovely. Been a long time since I have been out in the garden working. (Patch Working was taking up all my time) Plus we done lots of talking over cups of tea.
For the last 2 winters mum has been working on a knitted / crochet scarf for me. Its made up of lots off little bit of knitting or crochet. A lot like a crazy patch. Its stunning.
You stitch all the little bits together to make the desired shape then sew flowers & bits & bobs on top of it.
Few of the flowers & bits to be sewn on
Finished back view. The shawl is made from all hand spun and hand dyed wool. And before you ask, yes mum did most of the spinning her self.
Mum showing off her work. Can't wait to wear my new shawl now. The weather has changed and gotten pretty warm so I may have to wait until next year.
I just had to throw this picture in. This is one of the plates of food you receive when you have High Tea at Blossoms.
This is what I work with now, no wonder I cant stay on my diet.
The food is just as yummy as it looks.
Better go. I have my 2nd quilt for the QLD quilt show sitting on the machine waitng to be finished.
