Ramblings

Yesterday I gave the baby quilt to the Mum to be.  I think she was thrilled with it.

I hope I can have my sewing machine back soon, there is so much to do.  So many projects in  progress, unfortunately I'm not one to finish a project before I start on a new one.

I still cannot get photos on to this blog.

I've just finished reading Susan Lewis's book Not My Child, it had an ending I wasn't expecting! She is a British author, I hadn't heard of her before but she has quite a number of books published.

This morning I couldn't bowl, my foot was hurting when I walked, we won though.

The baby quilt is finished  and ready to give away.  I do so hope the mum likes it as there is quite an amount of hand stitching.  I have found lots of patterns for the next project or 10

Reading and more

I picked up Gone with the Windsors.  Although it is quite amusing in parts, it amounts to gossip.  I intend to put it down.  There are so many more worthwhile books to read.. I noticed John Bevere has new  books out, Good or God  and..........................

The baby quilt is ready to pick up, I will go next Tuesday, as on Wednesday I'm having morning tea with friends and will be able to show them.  I have a kiddie quilt half-way to finished but it is too hot outside.

I received an award this  morning for my bowling last week, for the most pins over average. Today, my season average went up one point..  Hoorah!!

Progress

The baby quilt is at the quilters.  I expect to pick it up at the end of the month, and hope that the baby does not arrive early.
I am doing another I-spy for charity, similar to the last one I did.  The camera and computer are still not co-operating.

Sewing, Sewing

Today, I received a letter,  It was such a blessing. I think I will frame the letter.

There is a Craft Show  next month at Caulfield, I will wait until  closer to the date before I decide whether I will go.  In the meantime I am going to Canberra for a week to stay with my sister in law.

Over the past week I have been sewing a quilt for Charity.  Only have the vertical sashing and border to add, it's quite bright (but not too bright) but still suitable for a boy/man.  Last week I made a cot quilt top  in 3 half-days.  The quickest yet.

I have recently read Geraldine Doyle's autobiography, and also of Jane Powell (she was in 7 brides for 7 brothers),  and lots more movies.  Still have Debbie Reynolds auto biography to read.

Monica McInerny writes about various places in Australia.  Hello, from the Gillespy's is another such one.  I couldn't put it down.,

I am now reading one by Wendy Alec.  Another book of hers I tried a few years back, I've forgotten the title but I couldn't get into it and had to hand the book back to its owner.

Baby quilt     I have completed all the handwork except for the binding..  I have to order more fabric of a certain pattern to make the project longer.    I am back on the strippy quilt, only about 6-8 strips to go.  Using up all my small pieces in my stash.  Then it's back to the snowball quilt..

Books   I am currently reading about a woman who was a maid in a mansion in the 30's.  In the past week I have re-read 2 of the Elm Creek series.  And a mystery, which is not my usual genre.
