Finishing off this quilt by adding a border so it can be used as a bed quilt not a wall hanging any more. I spent hours unpicking the tacking I had done around the edge of the quilt now to add the border.
I think it will work????
This is the Kimono I will have to unpick for the border.
Most of my sewing this week has been joining the hexagons a slow but enjoy able past time. I have another 30 to add and the main part of the quilt will be finished. I have decided to add 1/2 circles at the top and bottom but not the sides.
I added over 20 hexagons to the right hand side of My This Goes With That a Sue Daley design. Sue is a Australian designer whom a lot of Dutch quilters follow.
Our wet season has come and that means very very fast growth every where. Weekly we have to clean up and cart away vegetation that grows before your eyes. Ev dry where you look it is very lush a green but this means mosquitos and leeches too!!!!!!
I have been cleaning up so there are plies of vegetation to be cleared away now.
Vegation rubbish
We have three new female Butcher birds. I love the females they are such gentle greeters compared to the males. They become independent in a few weeks while the males will keep dreaming at their parents for weeks to be feed!!!!! Below are two of them.
Well thats it for this week I need to finish off now so I can do some work. I’m off to link with Esther http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com/
