Bordered Nine-patch Finish

Quilted, bound and gifted! Finished on my holiday to visit family on the Far North Coast of NSW....so wet and so green!

My Mum has a regular visitor who lives under the outside light, and has a buffet each night

He can watch the telly from there, too!

Beginnings

 New fabric

Test blocks (pattern from QE Designs)

Bordered nine patch

Managed to get my quilt top together and was pretty pleased with it, really. It was a fun block to piece, and I enjoyed matching up the fabrics as I went along. If I made this quilt again, next time I think I'd make the blocks with the darks and lights in the same places in the block, rather than alternate the lights and darks.

It's been lovely to have some rain lately and to see some things actually growing in the garden. My daughter has a green thumb and planted some sweetpeas for me when she was home during the isolation period. So excited to see them grow and with any luck, bloom soon.

Having fun making these blocks from bits and pieces in my stash using this tutorial.

Been a long time since I set up the sewing machine.

Big heart quilt

There hasn't been much time for quilting lately, but it's amazing what you can accomplish, when you have a deadline! Ha ha

My Gorgeous Girl turned 18 last month, so I quickly threw together this quilt for her. Went together easily, and pretty well, and I was happy with how it turned out (even if I did have to machine on the binding at the last minute!...Something I don't do well.)

Hard to believe I've been parenting for 18 years!....
