What a day!!!!

I always seem to have a problem to get into routine when we have gone visiting. Like today I am not sure that I got very much done. I have finished the calico quilt and it and a few other items are ready for the shop. Also my brother and his family received their gift of the 12 mini calender quilts and just love it. So I will have to get a grip on myself and start doing some work and also lots of sewing as I still have lots of ufo's around.

Thoughts

I have had a lazy day just finishing off some of my ufo's and getting small things done. Also finished the calico quilt and washed and ready to take to the shop. We are visiting our son and his family this weekend and cant wait to see our 2 handsome grandsons again. Have not seen them since March. Have had lovely weather and the tourists have taken over our town. Hate it as some note some of these peoples think we dont have any idea how to drive and seem to put the road rules aside and just do as they please. It seems that some just dont think when they are on holiday.

Thank you Lord for helping me finishing this huge tasks and having the support of all my quilting friends worldwide.!!!!!!!!!! Here are the last three. Finished!!!!!Now I have been wondering what next, but I am now busy with a single bed quilt in calico and have it all tacked together and have started the quilting. It is for a shop that has opened here in town.The shop will have its opening fare on the 20th August and hope to have it done by then. We also have many tourists in this town and it is like a beehive with people coming and going all the time. We have all these lovely wild flowers for all to see. Am taking a trip to the coast to see some nice flowers and the car does need some exercise too.

The next three

Finished

January
February
March

This is the first three and I will be posting 3 every day for you to see the end of these mini quilts.

Had a great day and also feel very blessed by the Lord with all the good things in life. Have been doing some sewing and hope to have my pillows for the lounge done soon

This is a pillow top that I made from a Australian magazine by Viv and I used some fabric of Agapanthus flowers to finish it off. I just love the flowers but am unable to get them to grow in my garden and around this suburb lots of people have them growing in their gardens, I am so jealous of that, but will have to leave it as hubby is also tired of trying to get them to flower.

Thankful for old friends that are visiting here at the moment.

I have been visiting with old friends and am enjoying the visit very much. We have been in the veld today to see some flowers. It is a lovely site but their faces were closed as the wind was blowing today. But I think that it is too early for the flowers to show us their beauty yet. there are some patches but not much. Being in the wide open spaces were great for myself.

Had a great day visiting with friends. Have now finished my 12 mini calender quilts too. Been wondering why I dont get to post in this site for 2 days now but am going to try again now. We are having a lovely winter warm week. Things are now getting back to normal with my life and also my quilting is moving on. slowly.

Busy busy

I have been very busy trying to finish the 12mini quilts and have to put my sewing into slow motion as I need to get the housework up to date and also get ready for a visit with friends. I will be painting the diningrooom this week and also try to get the kitchen cupboards done too.

Here are the last three of the series of mini calender quilt blocks from the Craftwise magazine here in South Africa. Now I just have to finish them and then post them early. Hope they will like the gift and use it.

This is a quilt I made with matching pillows and also made some golly wogs. Just love them, they have the most gorgous smiles. Also made a raggedy ann and they keep each other company.


I have finished painting my kitchen walls and will start the cupboards soon, maybe next week. Am exhausted from all the climbing on the ladder and down. I have painted the wall a Plascon beige called saswatch and am going to paint the cupboards poppy red. Love the combination. I must have something painted in my favorite color.
