Mail

Out going



Posted this quilt on behalf of Aussie Hero Quilts yesterday. 

No more sewing to show. Wayne and I are going into town for dinner and staying in. Not coming home on the train because the train only comes once an hour after 7:20pm. Must go pack .

What are all of you up to? Terry

Vintage Australiana

First up I finished my first quilt for AHQ


The laundry bag has the serviceman's initials but I'm not giving away secrets.



posted Tuesday morning  Big Smile!!


I was given the Blinky Bill tea towel and I had the vintage Jenny Kee sheet fabric.



added some 2 1/2" strips and a very Australiana quilt is taking shape.



framed the map of Australia with blue to keep the image clear. the strips were stitched together using the chip quilt process

look in the upper right corner and you can tell where I spent the afternoon. I finished pinning and cooked a nice dinner for DH and I. 

The intensive quilt making for Aussie Hero Quilts is to make the December 1st closing date for Christmas Mail.

I'm enjoying the playing about with big blocks of color .  Always fun to try something new.  Terry

weekend

Busy wearing lots of different hats. The Terry that's me is always there but I realise I'm different things to those I love.

Grama ? I sure am and love it.  Friday was Grandparent day at school so I braved the morning rush and went to school. Saturday DH and I ventured out to attend Panorama  steel band competition.



Awen with a  big smile getting ready to play Land Down Under. She has been playing for four years and loves it.





..Cadel's first year and first performance. Played well and then we all went out for dinner at his request. Ginger beer treat and all.

Sunday bright and early I was wearing the quilting hat.

finished.

 I will make a laundry bag to send with the quilt. I enjoyed making this quilt. It gave me time to remember my father a sailor and duck hunter the connections we all have with the quilts we make.

Have a good week   Terry
