A finish.......

..... which i can't show you as it's for a bag swap. It was sent off today to my swap partner in Texas. All i can show you is a sneak look. I sure hope Sandy likes it. :)

One Flower Wednesdays

I made it, just. I joined this a week ago but only had the chance yesterday to print out the hexagon shapes. Only cut out enough for one but it didn't take long to sew together. Made the second one before bed. :) At this rate i'll be able to make a quilt????. :) If you'd like to join just click the link on my left sidebar.

Lest We Forget

It is Anzac Day here in Australia. We remember those that gave our lives for us. I'm off to watch the march in the little town i grew up in, in Northern NSW. My father is a World War 2 veteran & he will be in the march. He served in the Navy. My grandfathers, may they rest in peace, were World War 1 veterans. 1 was a Light Horseman & the other in the Army. I'm proud of my father & grandfathers.

vintage hexagon challenge finished

After much deliberation & mind changing this is what i made from the hexagons Lyn sent me. I was going to handquilt it but had some problems so unpicked all that & machine quilted it. As per instructions every bit of fabric used came from my stash. 1 more finish for me. :)

Hope everyone has a fabulous Easter.

#4 Chookshed Stitchers Challenge.

 At the start of March i had this pile of blocks. I couldn't get my head around how to turn all these differing block sizes into a quilt...
