This is last weeks WOW I did do my write up but forgot to link with Esther LOL
In my living room at present the sun streams in at 6am and my blinds are broken so I’m making do and to be honest I like them better than the blinds LOL
I have huge a kingsize grandmothers flower garden quilt over the windows to keep out the 6am sun that streams in to my bed! Then I’m using it also as a design wall LOL
Then when the sun goes I use a swimming pool pipe to lift it out of the way and it looks like a exotic butterfly????
On my work table this morning where I sit and sew and enjoy the time passing?
Close up of the last few Quilty365s to make up; and add to my first 90 blocks all joined hopefully this weekend; if not there is all ways next week! I’m adding tiny green circle to the red large one as there is a tiny moth hole that needs to be covered.
I have unpicked all 500 plus inch squares and have resewed them but I have added lots of my own fabric to them; as the same tone was used originally and the different brown fabrics all looked the same from a distance, now I have lights mediums and darks in most of these tiny 6 1/2 inch blocks and it is giving them more depth and movement. I now have all the blocks ready for there sashings, first two rows just been completed. I’m using an old well washed woollen blanket on the table and my goodness it makes a great cover as the fabric does not float off when the fan blows.
My DGD made this cloak for her final piece of art in her last year at college she is now off to do graphic art at UNI
There were so many of these wee fellows on the ground 4 nights ago I had to watch were I walk, they only grow to about 1 1/2 inches.
Not often you can see these tiny bats up close, these two roosted on my curtain the other night, if you can zoom in look at their dainty wee feet, they are like miniature hands.
This time it is dusk 4 nights ago.
Its a dogs life????? She keeps me company all day every day.
Thank you for dropping in, off to link up with Esther onhttp://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com/
Cheers ALL Glenda
my goodness you have been busy! so many projects and they all look so good. love the little froggy and my are those bats in your house! I’m afraid that would freak me out a little bit!
Hi Karen, it is my wash house area which is not completely closed in yet LOL so the bats can fly in And out if they want to they are very very tiny and we will go out side on to the veranda when they come to visit just to see them dodge around us as they fly up and down, they have never hit us once in 20yearsLOL it’s the big fruit bats that fly in to get the fruit that I don’t like they smell something awful, screatch and fight and leave an awful mess behind them. They have a wing span of a couple of feet to a metre. Hugs Glenda
The Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt is beautiful, I wouldn’t use it as a window blind but it is lovely that way. I’m enjoying watching your progress on your circles. The 9-patch quilt is going to be wonderful. Blessings, gretchen
I’m still working on that Grandmothers garden quilt Gretchen it is a 1930s quilts and I’m adding the binding and quilting it, some quilter spent months maybe years making all the hexagons but never got to complete it so I’m doing it for her. Cheers Glenda
LOVE your ingenious blind / curtain treatment and the pretty shots of the sun streaming in 🙂
Hi Deb, thanks for dropping in, I’ve just been visiting your site and enjoyed the visit, I like the sound of your Aunts pumpkin pie and will try it soon. Hope you are feeling better now and are finding time to sew. Cheers Glenda
Glenda, it is the best blind ever. I love that you use it as a design wall. We had-40C with snow. Love all the photos, it put a smile on my face just to see so much colour and beauty.
When the devil must the devil do. my gran use to say LOL. One day I will finish putting the hexagons around the border of that lovely old 1930s hexagon quilt Maggi. This last week I have been completing some goals I have been setting my self so it has been a good sewing week. We are having one of our driest and hottest Feb since 1969 and that was a record. Out Forrest trees will suffer over the next 12 months and it is not good news for the farmers. Keep dry and warm. Hugs Glenda
