Good morning everyone. Finally my quilting thread arrived.....very happy quilter!
I have cross hatched the centre block.....
It's been a lovely pastime in the evenings with the weather finally cooler.
I have kept up with the #52tagchallenge and No.18 -Paper Piecing is finished. I felt this one was a little boring on my part but I enjoyed it.
A thing I love is when the resident pair of Pale-headed Rosellas in my garden come to my front balcony for a little bit of seed that I leave out....if you don't know what they look like this is a drawing I did of one a while ago. They are beautiful shy birds and a treat to watch when they visit.
CAUGHT IN THE ACT!
Well I must away. Another hospital visit today. So a few more hexies I guess.
I shall leave you with my two beautiful Granddaughters.....another great pic from the art installation they went to.
Namaste and Blessings Blessings Michelle xxx
PS I have received some lovely comments from some of you that I have not been able to respond to.....so if I haven't answered your comment its because you are coming up as a no reply blogger. But thank you for your lovely comments xx

Good progress on your quilting. Love the startled look on the possums face......cheeky fellow. Hexies are such a good pick up and put down project.
ReplyDeleteLovely to get back to the quilting I am sure Michelle - looking beautiful. The little tag is pretty as is the book page. Great 'caught in the act' picture. Love from grey, wet France. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting on your basket quilt! Plus that slow stitching book is just lovely nice works in progress hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteIt's good to be a happy quilter, Michelle, and your stitching is lovely! That's a "guilty" look if ever I saw one, caught in the act for sure.
ReplyDeletePleased your threads arrived as you do enjoy your hand quilting and you do a lovely job....
ReplyDeleteNice tag and special book.
Hexies are a great portable project to work on.
Cheeky Possum....
Beautiful photo of the GC.
Hugs..
Lovely projects your working on there...... Oh I would love to have those birds visit my garden......
ReplyDeleteGlad you have the handwork to while away the time at the hospital...... Hugs
Lovely projects complimented by your gorgeous hand quilting. So nice to gave some hand work to take along to your hospital visits. Thinking of you both and sending Kiwi cyber hugs.
ReplyDeleteGosh your quilting & your tags are just beautiful Michelle. But I am so in love with your slow stitching book & would love to try something like this. Those possums are a pest here too. xx
ReplyDeleteLoVe love LOVE your cross hatch quilting. And good that you found the culprit.
ReplyDeleteLovely pic of the GD's too.
Hugs to you xox
Lovely to see you are quilting again now you have the thread. Your tag is lovely and your slow stitching book gorgeous. Possums take advantage don't they!! That is a beautiful photo of your grand daughters.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting stitches are so precise and dainty Michelle; you must still have excellent sight :) How lovely to have those pale headed Rosellas coming to visit you regularly. We used to get them occasionally, or I would see them down at the creek. But alas, it has been a few years now since they made an appearance and I really like them. So gentle and sweet. Such a cheeky possum - I have done that to a few of them at night too, he he. xoxox
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely quilting. I am currently in hexie mood too, no idea where it is going....You are right, so portable.
xx
Lovely to see you stitching and blogging again xx

ReplyDeleteGood to see that thread arrive to let you get on with your quilting. And it always seems to take ages when you are waiting for it to arrive.
ReplyDeleteAs always, I enjoy seeing the projects that have kept you busy.
I am not surprised to see that cheeky possum sneaking in. Well and truly caught in the act.
Oh everything is gorgeous. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's day. The girls are growing up so quickly and so cute 😍
