Stitching progress

 I finally put together my Adeline and Remy quilt from our stitching cruise last year. Feels good to have a top completed. I also made a backing too. It will be ready for quilting soon. I put some quilts in last week to be tacked and quilted and plan to put more in this week. It will be nice to see them finished.

Roni brought along her gorgeous rabbit cushion recently. How cute is that rabbit?

Margaret has also been busy and has used lots of her French General scraps to make this great quilt.

She also made this delightful zippered pouch!

This and that

 The weeks fly by and I need to catch up! I have been stitching and have continued working slowly on my Garden quilt. I am enjoying working on this.

I have also finished this cute stitching pouch which is another gorgeous design by Anni Downs.

We were very impressed to see this gorgeous stitching that Jayne is working on! It is just gorgeous.

It has also been book week last week. The miss wasn't really well but managed to be at school for the parade. She looked so cute in the lovely dress that Mummy had made and an old raffia hat that I made many years ago. One of the big boys and his class in Perth dressed up as Disney princesses or characters!!!

On Wednesday we had breakfast our in Gold Creek and enjoyed seeing this yarn bombing outside the new wool shop.

Progress

 I have been enjoying the needleturn on the Anni Downs quilt, My garden in Spring. I have also started knitting a shawl for later in the year when I am going to a white night and it might be cool. 

These young men turned 12 last week! So hard to believe they are so grown up!

Some sewing and family

 June is alnost over and there have been a few achievements this month. I have finally hand quilted and bound my Around Town quilt. This is a lovely pattern by Anni Downs and it is completely hand stitched. Nice to see a finish.

I have also finished knitting my Timely cardigan and have so enjoyed it. I love that blocking it made it fit well.

So I couldn't resist starting something new. This is Anni Downs' quilt from her Quiltmania book, called My Garden in Spring. It is called something different in the book. I bought a kit several years ago and am now enjoying the process.

Roni dazzled us again at stitching with her gorgeous quilt and her cross stitch trees!!!

Finally, a few family pictures. The miss heading off to camp this term and one of her walking Alfie. The boys and family headed to Bali last week for a wonderful time with good friends.
