and all the very best for 2013.
Thank-you for visiting, commenting and emailing
over the last twelve months.
More quilts are already in the planning,
classes and workshops are already booked.
Looks like another busy year ahead, just the way I like it.
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas.
One of the last classes before finishing for the year, a day workshop,
was the ruler and cutting mat bag with the
Mornington Peninsula Patchworkers.
A huge variety of fabrics were used,
one was even made with some star blocks.
A great day was had by all, with everyone
going home with just the handsewing the binding
left to complete.
Recently a group I belong to, spent the day
with some very talented artists at Phillip Island,
some whom had visited us earlier in the year.
Before lunch we visited local galleries and of course a patchwork shop.
After lunch was show and tell, here are just a few.
A fun day was had by all, as we plan and try to complete
projects when they come to visit us again in 2013.
A couple of my quilts recently quilted by
Laurene at The Quilters’ Patch.
As usual outstanding quilting on both quilts.
Colonial Charm has been available as a pattern
for a while, quilt tops always take on a new life once quilted.
Morning Jewel has mostly feathers quilted over it,
except on the outer edge of the border. Just stunning.
Now to finish those bindings.
Over the last few weeks there has been some additions
at our house. First these Plovers or as they are correctly called
Masked Lapwings had this cute baby.
So small but very fast on its feet.
Then mother Magpie brought her baby to visit us.
Unsteady on his feet for a few days, but was soon
learning to fly in the safety of our backyard.
