Bakers Dozen

Still playing with the lights



still playing.
These three blocks have more scraps contributed by friends. It changes my view when I don't have memories of working with the fabrics before.

The washing is done and we are off to Featherdale Wildlife park today with the grand children

Have a fun day Terry

Nothing Spectacular

Or was it? The week started with 3 golfing buddies of DH's playing his local courses and having a sleep over.

On the sewing scene 

blue gingham left over from shorts


lots of gifted scraps in this block



a scrap of the gingham here   makes stitching these quicker and should help to hold the quilt together visually


and this one makes 10

The remainder of the week included the usual spring cleaning / washing and lots of weeding by DH the lawn hasn't been feed in about 12yrs. When ever he is MIA I just find him hand weeding the lawn.

I guess it's time to think and unwind. Like stitching low volume blocks. Normal week ahead .Whatever that is? Enjoy yours.  Terry

Ideas

A trip out with Cadel and Awen


sitting in the pavilion of a new Chinese Garden


standing in the sun at the gates




painting on the roof of the pavilion  I looked at this photo and saw a quilt lay out. Not the images but the horizontal lines starting with a neutral grid, color, strong red stripes finished with a repeat of the grid.  The borders of geometric patterns at the beginning and end of each color segment. What do you see?

Cadel informed me that he was not ready to leave. I had "wasted all his free time taking pictures and he wanted to go see the ducks"  6 year old boys have their own priorities in life. We saw the ducks and spotted fish fry in the pond as well.

Enjoy the week  Terry
