Broken Dishes

This is was started many years ago.  Someone suggested that I hand-quilt it, it is now a UFO.  I don't know when or if I will finish it.  It is folded up and stored on a trolley in my living room.  I just don't "see" it anymore.
This is me cutting the cake after Church on my Birthday last month, I brought home a piece about 2: square, so it was enjoyed by all,  Some even had a second piece.

Going Camping

This  was for a little boy who needed a cuddly quilt.  There are waterfalls, rivers with huge fish, camping sites with bears coming out of tens, moose, people in canoes and large birds.  And only one dog!

Trees and birds

It is several months since I completed this quilt and delivered it to its new owner.  She loved it (Phew).The light coloured panels have birds sitting in trees that have red berries.  The smaller green panels are of a forest.  The small frames all around are of birds or the foliage of trees.  I don't usually make quilts of this size, 100" X 75".

My Garden

I love Amarylis, their flowers are so big and vivid. Unfortnuately this years blooms have been nibbled by a tiny bug.

Back again

It has been a long time since I added to this blog.  There was a change of procedure and I couldn't work out a new way of doing things like putting up photos, and I didn't know why the change had to happen.  now, though I hope I can manage to do things that I used to do.

Kitchen Swap

On our Craft forum, we recently had a Kitchen swap.  I made this plastic bag holder for my swapee in USA
The green part, top and bottom had gum leaves and the body had Australian birds and some native flowers, mostly gum blossom.   I'm very happy to report that she loved this gift.
