next quilt please

creepy cat!

One of my inspectors!!

I cooked this epic pie...omg it was sooooo yummy

can you see the mistake?? I fixed it before I sewed it together!

I completed the top today, just need to put on a white border and ask my quilter if she has space for me!!

I have the tough blokes challenge coming up in a couple of weeks, a swimathon and a possible 2 bike rides to choose from! I have been asked to join a team to do the tough mudder but it would end up being a whole weekend away so have declined this year.

giant hail and quilts

I bought myself some nice bike shoes to use with the beast. I have been practicing on the bikes in RPM class.... clicking in on the move isn't as easy as it looks!

On Christmas day we had very bizarre weather and the day finished up with a massive rainstorm with hail the size of large golf balls

It shredded my tomatoes that were doing really really well (shattered)

My poor lizard almost drowned!

This was out the front of the house, the hail stacked up against the wall and looked suspiciously like snow.

On a quilty note now.... here is a top I have made for a work colleagues granddaughter... now to baste.

this is the start of the next quilt I have to make for my cousins new baby

after I put it together I realised that I wasn't supposed to actually sew all the same coloured sections together! so a little frog stitching was done.

I selections of the fabrics that I am actually using for this quilt

All chopped up and ready to sew.

I'm now on 2 weeks annual leave whooo hooo! time to sew, exercise and drink coffee with my friends!

New quilts

I recently made a quilt for my cousins new baby. I have 3 cousins who my mum commissioned me to make a quilt for each new baby to their families.

I have made a few quilts now, I don't charge my mum to make these as its part of my gift to my cousins. This time I didn't have time to quilt it myself.

I asked my friend Anita if she would quilt it while I was oversea which she was able to do for me.

Once again I was very happy with the quilting that Anita did for me, this was just a nice all over design.

I joined strips of fabric to make a nice binding.

The quilt was given to the young family the other day and was very appreciated which is nice when you have taken the time to find something that you hope they will like.
