Gardening and slow stitching Sunday


Slow Stitching on Love Calms the Seas

I thought I would start out by showing you all the beautiful sunrise we had the other morning!

I just love sunrises and sunsets
It was just glorious!

Today I spent some time quilting on love calms the seas before starting on making my loaves of bread for the week.  Just after lunch I went into the garden with Hubby and we harvested our Kiwi Fruit, they will take a little time to ripen.  The ones which were a bit defective and may have been eaten by birds we fed to the cows.
We won't get through all of these in a hurry

Then the afternoon has been spent cleaning out all of my emails and updating the computer files.  This evening will see me watching World Superbikes and Formula One Racing whilst Slow Stitching at the Frame and I am joining Kathy here for her Slow Stitching Sunday





I am really loving this



So until tomorrow enjoy your slow stitching

Whooping because another UFO has become my next PhD!

Finally can say I am happy with another project coming out of the cupboard and getting close to a finish
What was sitting unfinished

I started this project last year, it was my Facebook quilting groups BOM for 2013.  I was doing really well and keeping up to date until 
August came along.  I didn't want to piece this block the same so the whole project became shelved.

start of August Block

Ready for appliqué to be stitched


love this
This year I decided to try Steam a seam 2 and this is the first project I have managed to use it for and WOW! This is worth a big WHOOP!

another block in the making

love this grateful heart block

who doesn't need tolerance to gain peace

and just have fun

Ready for the sashing
So as you can see I have these blocks ready to finish the appliqué and then I plan on giving this quilt a star sashing, which will be fun and I am hoping to be doing a Whooping dance!

For my other Whoop - I have almost finished my Celtic Solstice mystery quilt by Bonnie Hunter, I have changed a few of the colours and the border.  I am so excited and really would love to show you the quilt now but I think it deserves its own blog.  The biggest whoop is the extra fabic I have chosen for the border and the surprise that will be for you all,  is on it's why to me now.  If I am really lucky I will be able to have this off my list this month.  

I have also made my coasters for a special friend but unfortunately I cannot show a photo until she recieves them.  I am linking this blog for a big whoop with Confessions of a fabric Addict

Now that I have caught up with a lot of my things, I will have time to give you an update of all of the happenings here at Wehago Designs.  I encourage you all to click and follow me either on bloglovin or by email, I have some very exciting things coming which I would like you to join me with.  Having a giveaway to all of my readers in the middle of July,  So tell me what are you whooping about today and don't forget to join up so you don't miss a post?

Have a wonderful Whoop,

Wendy

Hand quilting a perfect end to the day!


Love calms the seas
I just love to finish my day sitting and hand quilting at my frame.  It really helps me wind down from the hectic daily chores


a bit of a larger view
I did manage to find some time to organise another little area tonight after we came home from a shopping trip with a visit to the Waverley Patchworkers and quilters show in Mt Waverley today.

These are just a few of the beauties I found at the show



This is a handquilted Beauty by Judy Leckie


This is another quilt from Judy Leckie
This is the centre of her quilt

This was a quirky cute quilt
So you can see I had a good time and there were lots of other nice quilts to see also.  Sunday will be spent slow stitching and spending time with family.

Until next time, enjoy your day

Wendy
