Well an overnight temp of just 3 degrees was a bit of a shock to this warm blooded Queenslander this past weekend. The fire was even lit!
It was however perfect weather to hand quilt away the hours on my Baltimore.
I can see the end of the road....almost!
Block 7 is complete....
Lots and lots of little stitches.
I am happy to say as of last night Block 8 is almost complete too! I seem to have found my rhythm.....better late than never! Lol!
We have had a week of birthdays and it was just so lovely to share them with family.
Mr. R was first and he enjoyed a round of happy birthday singing, cake and gifts.
Next was our youngest Granddaughter Miss E. She was thrilled with her Bluey cake....she's a huge fan!
Miss E. Also loved her Love Heart I Spy quilt.
Her Mum snapped this one at bedtime snoozing with all her friends....glad they all could fit under lol! So cute!
So a very happy Nana that both I Spy quilts are loved by their owners!
Thanks to my daughters extensive reading addiction I came home with some new (to me) books to read.....
Well, more quilting awaits.....take care and stay well.
Namaste and blessings Michelle xxx
