Weekend Round Up



Extra Challenge Block for Lang Lang Quilt Show Raffle Quilt
As per usual there is always a lot happening here.  Recently I found out that a couple of extra blocks were needed for the quilt so I decided to have another go at one with a new idea.  We only had 3" square of orange fabric and could only add green and white.  Here is my block to be added to the quilt.

Bastille Day Celebrations
Bastille Day Celebrations is on its way to Adelaide as an exhibit travelling with other entries and of course the wonderful winners of this competition held by Berry Patchwork Shop  It will be on display at the AMQ during the 1-6 of October.  More details can be obtained here if you areinterested in attending

And finally here are a couple of shots of the progress of my storm at sea quilt. 

I have also made a tote bag and a table runner and will blog about them after my swap partners have received them.  My creative space organised and I am sorting my fabrics for upcoming projects.  I have managed to do all but one project I had planned for this week, so I am feeling quite good about everything I have achieved.

Leave a comment and let me know what you have been up to, I would love to hear.  So until next time take care and enjoy each day we have on our wonderful planet.

Photos from the dewy morning garden!

This morning as I lifted the blinds I notice a wonderful sight,  the Kangaroo Paw had a new flower emerging.  But the most exciting part was seeing these webs all spun the night before.  Spiders truly are amazing and as the sun was rising on the dewy plant these just glistened in the sun.
Webs amongst the Kangaroo Paw
Another Angle
Such clever creatures create amazing things
New Kangaroo Paw Flower Emerging
Whilst I have been busy creating in the quilting department I am unable to share this with you at this stage as it is a big surprise for a couple of people.  So in the meantime I decided I would share some photos of our garden which inspire me constantly daily.

So Until next time enjoy life.  Stay tuned for an upcoming announcement for a little competition and fun.

I will continue on my projects what are you doing today?  Leave me a comment and let me know what inspires you or what you are doing.  

keep on keeping on,

Leaping into Spring!

Well I can't believe that winter is over for us!  I have been so busy creating that I haven't blogged again for 3 weeks.  So let me explain some of what I have been doing:-

Firstly I have sent this little art quilt to Berry Patchwork Shop for their quilt show and retreat.
It was entered in the One Red Thread Competition with a Theme for this year of Moulin Rouge

You can see other entries for this competition and others plus the winners here

My first ever Bonnie Hunter Mystery from Quiltville
The next finish this weekend was for my Mystery which i started at Christmas time.  This was from Bonnie Hunter and it was Celtic Solstice, as I changed colours and part of the design I am now calling this Blooming Celtic Solstice.  I am really please how this has come together.  My hubby loves it and it will be his couch quilt after I finish it

A finished top from My Quilt Along from Mishkas Playground
The last finish is my Delightful Stars Quilt.  This has been a Quilt Along which I have been doing with mishkas playground.  I have added a few stars and even designed one myself as I wanted a Square quilt, this measures 96" reason it is touching the ground.

Ok so I am feeling on top of the moon as these have been completed and crossed off my list.  I also have another couple which won't take long to finish also.  So with that I am planning on having the following completed
my storm at sea quilt  
QAG quilt for a special person
Tote for a swap
Table Runner for a swap
my Star swap block
Lattice Quilt top
Also going to do some Christmas Decorations and items for sale
I am linking this post to Kathi at design originals by KC for her Laundry list, come over and check out her blog

So until later in the week when I chat with you all again,  
have a wonderful time
