The last few weeks have been really busy. I have been away or had a house full of visitors. So not much sewing got done. Lots of talking and eating (diet sure flew out the window)
I did get to catch up on my mystery quilt, patiently waiting for the next step. For this quilt I'm very pleased with my self because I have used mostly older fabrics from my stash.
Megan was raiding the cupboard again. This time she is making a cover for her new ipad. She is getting pretty clever with the things she is making. Hopefully a patchworker in the making.
I had a lovely weekend at the beach catching up with friends. Pity about the weather, it rained the whole time. It was Daphs birthday so we all went to Yeppoon to celebrate with her. We haven't been together for a few years. It was great to catch up. We had lots to talk about plus lots of stunning quilts for show & tell.
Sylvia had the best show & tell. This lady has the most gorgeous quilts. All the ones she had to show us were all hand appliqued. Absolutely stunning, not a stitch out of place. I really do love Sylvia's work. You don't get to see it very often. She quietly works at home by her self & then one day she will surprise you with one of her master pieces.'
Sylvia gives most of the treasures away to her family (wouldn't it be lovely to be in Sylvia's family)
Helen with her show & tell. Helen has been busy making kids quilts.
Lovely beach view from our motel room. It poured all weekend.
Helen, Andrae, Daph & Sylvia. Thanks for a great weekend Lady's
Just as I arrived home from Yeppoon I got a wonderful surprise with more visitors.
Sally and her sister Anna arrived for a few days. It was great to see them. When Sally & Pat left on there travels, she left me a big bag of velour fabric that I was supposed to make in to a coat for her. But it was pushed to the back of the list all the time. (sorry Sal)
One lazy day, Still in our PJ's at 10 we pulled the bag out & Sally started to put the coat together. I had to go of to work at 12 so Sally had a busy afternoon piecing all the bits. By time time I got home she had most of it done, just the lining to go.
All finished and ready of the chilly winter weather ahead. Great coat from a bag of scraps.
Have a quilt on the machine ready to start quilting, so I had better go and get busy or another week will slip by with out any thing done.
