Blues


A great way to use up scraps and easy to put together.

Speedway.


This is another panel, just right for a little rev-head. 

The solar system


Wow, it was windy that day.  Sometimes the day can have no wind, but as soon as I hang a quilt on the line a strong breeze comes up.

This is a panel with two borders.

Pink


I don't know which magazine this quilt came from but it was interesting to make.

A new sewing space

For over twenty years now we have been hosting international students.  I think we may wind down a little.
Two years ago I bought a new sewing machine and  the instructions say that I should keep it inside.  I have been sewing in the garage.   Now that one of the bedrooms will be free I am about to move my sewing things indoors.  There won't be space for everything so I will need to have a big sorting out day and only bring inside the things I need, such as the sewing table,  sewing machines (I have two) the picnic table for pressing and cutting and the design wall.  Not forgetting two big baskets of scrap fabrics and partly finished quilt tops.
We need to give the bed away (or sell it)   and move the desk outside.

Wheels


This is one of the quilts I made for a young boy, another one also has vehicles   I have lots of fabric left so I guess I will be making more of them.  Those few leaves in the foreground belong to the orange tree and there is a bouganvillea climbing up a trellis at the deck.
