I don't believe it

I decided to try and complete an entire quilt this weekend, including the quilting. Usually I finish the top and then leave it for a while.It is a 3 day weekend and I found a great quick pattern with very easy quilting instructions included.Here it is. Welcome Spring by Cherri House over at Moda Bakeshop. It went together very quickly. I pieced the back ready and went to get the batting and guess what. I only have warm and natural and I really want to use a white batting so I am stuck. How typical.

Detail shot of the fabric. It is Pack your bags by Arrin Turnmire. I used the blue and green strips in a bag and thought the left over pinks were perfect for this quilt.

Jell Roll Quilt ALong

I have completed the 2 latest blocks from the Jelly Roll Quilt Along at Moose on the Porch Quilts.

I decided to use some of the background fabric in each block instead of all jelly roll. This is a great quilt along. I am really enjoying it.

Perth

We just got back from visiting family and friends in Perth. It had been over 3 years between visits. We had a great time.

When we first saw these Meerkats at Perth zoo we thought it was one fat Meerkat. I couldn't resist adding this photo.

I finally got to give my parents the lap quilts I made them.

Grumpys (my dads)

Grans, Sorry it is a terrible photo.

A Finish

OK it is a small one but it is still a finish.

I finally finished my version of the Dreaming of South Carolina Table Runner at moda bakeshop.
I didn't make it with the prairie points as I am lazy!

I made this for my brother who has a flat overlooking a beach in Perth. It is very small but so is his balcony.

Block Two

Here is block 2 from the Jelly Roll Quilt Along at Moose on the Porch Quilts. This is a great quilt along as 1 block every 2 weeks is do-able.

I have joined a Outrigger Canoe Club and today was one of those perfect days on the water. The water was flat and crystal clear. Unfortunately I did not have a camera with me.

We stopped out in the channel to look for sharks. I am not sure what we would have done if we saw one.

What do you do when.....

What do you do when you have a house full of boxes to unpack?

Why you go to Sydney for the weekend of course.

Block One

I finished Block one of the Jelly Roll Quilt Along at Moose on the Porch. I really like this block. I have used Fabulous Fall by Deb Strain and Kona Snow.
