I only have the internet for a few hrs each evening at present and it is painfully slow and drops out more often than not so I’m not sure how I will go with my blog this week. We have had no land line phone for 4 weeks and no internet connection for one week it is very frustrating. How did our great grand parents cope with the loneliness of only receiving an answer to a letter after 6 months when they had to rely on sailing ships????? how spoilt we are with the internet now days. At a press of a button I can talk to any of my children and see them to on the other side of the world???????
Teddy Bear quilt top finished finally
Teddy's now have their eyes ears and noses.
A beautiful peachy pink silk Kimono that came in to the Opp SHop yesterday, sadly it had a very very bad stain on one sleeve but for me it was perfect as I will unpick it and use it in my Love Entwine as it is the exact colour I need for my LE
I unpicked the sleeves from the Kimono and washed them. This is a close up of the fabric . In every kimono there is roughly 7 yards of fabric at 14 inchs wide .
Under silk kimono used like a petticoat.
Very neglected brass candle stick.
2 1/2 hrs later to this??? A lot of elbow grease and time.
From 4 18inch squares too???????
Evolving????
slowly changing.
From 4 pieces of fabric that measured 36inches square I end up here with 23 inch square now you can see why many men can not understand our love of patchwork LOL. My father never got it!!!!!
Brolgas flying in at dusk after a sugar cane burn off. Now to finish sewing on the borders, quilt it, bind it, and finally appliqué the Brolga’s on.!!!!!
Working on the last border.
On my front veranda, I went to wind up the front verranda blind this morning and walk splap bang in to him, he was right a cross my face thats how big he is. They are harmless but do look pretty mean. We call them Charlie if we have one around they catch lots of mosquitos and flying insects. .
Back of Charlie
It has taken me nearly 1 1/2 hrs to get this amount to upload, so I have published now in stead of tomorrow night in case I end up with no connection at all tomorrow night.????
