Gardening

Thought I would make use of some muscle while I had it . Got lots of help in the garden today.

I was replanting a fig tree my friend Kerry gave me . I stupidly planted it in the wrong spot . Second time lucky I hope.

The kids thoroughly enjoyed planting a pot of their own.

First Day Sewing

Made a bag for her  little dolls and ironed on the motifs . She did very well and got more independent as she went.

Last Day of Visiting

                    Today the kids are heading home but one last buggy ride was necessary.

They love the buggy.. both want to drive of course .

We had to take great Grandpa of course. Dad just loves seeing the kids .

Quilts have a New Home

Last weekend I went to Nundle (as in my last post). Must be a record though , the quilt I made is quilted and bound and on the way to its new home on Josh and Emma's king bed, so it was a biggie.
I have finished the bind on  this single bed quilt for Colton's bed and it's ready to go as well.

I made this quilt last year at Nundle at "Cottage on the Hill" with Kerry Swain 

I love this cute fox and Indian fabric . I made this for my little boy, Colton.

This king size chevron quilt made at " Cottage on The Hill" is now finished . Thanks to Margie Collins for quilting it for me so quickly.

This one has been completed for a little while but since my DIL  Emma loves it so much it's going home to Bundaberg as well. Probably for my granddaughters bed.

Nundle and a Quilt for Emma.

I have just spent a weekend at Nundle with my sewing buddies. We had a lovely weekend. It's hard not to have a great time at "Cottage on the Hill "with Kerry Swain. 

My fabric selection .. I am so not a blue person but I do love this for Emma

A king size quilt , it doesn't quite look like it ,but believe me it's big.
