Gunna Goanna

Thanks to Telstra I am back with lots to share

I bought home a quilt to make for mum,
as she can't do hand sewing anymore, with

lots of needleturn appliqué and hand piecing.

Saturday I thought that maybe I should 

pull out my finger and start getting the appliqué 

done.

Mum had started 2 blocks already, a flower

on 1 and the stem on the other, so I 

spent Saturday night and Sunday night

finishing them off

this is the block I am currently working on, and

I am also prepping for the next block

My Lancaster BOM is up to date, this is what it looked

like on Saturday afternoon

and by Sunday afternoon it looked like this

and our unwanted visitor, meet Gunna Goanna

he was chased around the house by the 

naughty puppy and cornered in a rabbit proofed

garden,so the only way was up

he was HUGE, and Imogen and I spent a lot of

time at the sunroom window watching him

eventually he turned a corner and discovered

Henrycat sitting in the window

after eyeing each other off Gunna got bored

and climbed down off the house  and went up the 

Norfolk Pine to hide in the branches and by 

7pm he had climbed out

of the tree and made his escape.

Bye Gunna, don't rush back.

Photo's and Stuff

I admit to being rather slack in keeping up with 

any BOM's that I sign up for........

I tend to collect them until I have all the

blocks then have a big sewing week/s of

completing them, even though when a new one arrives

I tell myself that I AM GOING TO KEEP UP.

I am currently collecting

Tail Feathers

Civil War Journeys

and in completed just needs to be sewn 

together form is

Aunt Grace's Circle of Friends

Monday I had happy mail in the form of a 

Sue Daley EPP BOM

'Lancaster'

so far so good I have started block 1, and will stitch it

each night in front of the tv until its done.

look at all those clamshells.........

see progress is being made on block 1 :)

the background

then I also have to finish this little quilt which has been 

waiting for what seems like years to be finished

the foundation pieced blocks and the sashings

that is todays plan of attack, to sew it in to a top

it came with the backing and binding and I

have enough wadding to finish it :)

then I need to keep up with my small quilt of the month

quilts, this is the next one to be done

the fabrics have been selected from the scrap box

and then I will have another  5 to be caught up 

no pressure AT ALL!

and look what I grew in the garden

and I also managed to get 2 out of 3 orchids to flower

love this one its a pale yellow/green

and the last flower on this little one

the naughty puppy is lying in wait for some 

unsuspecting tourists to walk out the front

once he sees them he will bark at the them then race

to the back fence to continue barking forgetting

he can't actually see over the back fence to bark 

and no post is complete without a photo of

Henrycat, who is keeping an eye on the dog :)

I best get off the computer and start sewing hadn't I.........

before I am distracted by something else
