The Months have slipped away

 It has been a long time since I put any thing on my post. I have been a very busy little girl
.
 Well we have big news, Doug and I are selling up and leaving Emerald. So it has been a mad house around here, I have had the last month packing, what a big job. Between packing, sorting and garage sales I haven't had much time for sewing.
Before we decided to sell, I had a big clean out (must of known something was going to happen) I asked my niece Terri over to pick out what she would like. She had a ball, I didn't have to get rid of much  Terri took most of it.

 Few of the treasure's Terri found. It is amazing what you have stashed away in the cupboards

 I still had my classes a Peter's  between all the packing. Lorraine with a quilt she had finished. Looks great and it was very big. One of those quilts that keep growing.




I have also been working with a group of lady's on the Councils  Flood Art Quilt. There have been 5 different groups in the council area that have been working or involved on the project. Every one had to put their ideas in and then we worked out how they would go onto the quilt. This is the start of the background for the Emerald section.

 Had a few days in Springsure working on there area, also the Rolleston area. The backgrounds for each section were piece with the no ruler strip piecing, free machine piecing. We used a lot of fabric that had to do with each area. eg .grass, wheat, sunflowers, farming, trees, horses, water, coal and hills.

This is the Emerald area with most of the add on pieces. Any thing  to do with Emerald or the places around Emerald. What most people would see or relate to this area. Plus a lot of old or historical photos were placed at he top of the quilt. Each of the 5 areas will have a small quilt like this one and then there will be a big one with each of the areas all joined together and this one will be on display at the Emerald council.

 Bail Bed Runner on display at Peter's. The girls have started to make this quilt. I have one half made, it had to go on hold while all the packing was going on. I hope I can remember what I was doing once I get back to it. Bonnie and Loraine brushing up on there modeling skills

 Bonnie with her  quilt. She only has the flying geese to make then it will be time to put it all together. We had our last class on Thursday, I am going to miss our days together. The Thursday classes were a lot of fun. Thank you to all the girls for a wonderful time, when ever I look at my Judy quilts I will remember you all.
