Puttering along......

Have been working steadily through all my UFO's, trying to get stuff finished. This last couple of weeks I have quilted one of a friend's quilt and a quilt for CWA (third of three for them). Found a half finished quilt for the childrens hospital and it is well on the way to finish, then I made the top of my Christmas quilt for our group as well. No photos yet- I'll do them tomorrow.

Carnival taster

I have finished Carnival! Quite happy with my little piece of art work- you have to wait forreveal day to see it though! Chloe, Flrur and I had a lovely morning sewing our quilts- all coming along nicely...

Self Portrait Reveal

Reveal day for our self portrait today.
Mine is a bit of a cheat as it is not long since we did a self portrait and it was not really what I wanted to do again- so I  '"did'' my area. A very pretty area it is too, where cockies and galahs fly in their thousands enjoying giant meals of the cereals grown here - the canola shown plus wheat, oats and barley mainly.
I have also posted a photo taken nearby but I parked under a tree!! and there are not too many of them here.
I have called this piece "Here I am, happy as a cockie in canola".

Now - on to Carnival.

Nearly time to reveal the next topic

Today is the 29th- not long to reveal the next topic- want a hint? Think lots of colour!
I havent touched my quiltlet since before Christmas but tomorrow is the day for some additions which will be made seperately then quilted on. No photoes but I do hope you are very curious! Some lovely hints on our Art Quilts Around The World blog.

Try again- nearly time for our new topic!

It is nearly the end of December and so it is almost time for me to reveal the topic of our next little quilt! I will put this on Facebook so that only members will be able to access it. A hint?  Think lots of colour!

Some hospital quilts

Working on my new challenge today. Some edges (borders?) applied. Looking OK I think. Need to think of the new challenge topic for the end of the month - thinking ?? or maybe ???
Trying to finish a few UFOs at the moment. I collect scraps and make quilts for hospitals - not art quilts, just simple scrap users. Need to get a couple quilted and out of the house!
My local quilt group had our Christmas breakup last night, we handed 31 quilts to our local hospital for stillborn babies. Two representatives from the hospital told us about the very supporting role they play. Really sad.
Great dinner though! I ate lamb shanks, so tender! and delicious. Hope to go to that restaurant again.

A couple of my hossie quilts....top one finished, second to be quilted.

New challenge

It has been awhile since I communicated on my blog!
I am not so good on the computer, surprise, surprise.

A little tease about my new challenge - love the colours....got plenty of time to finish it.
