I have been working a little on my Love Entwine the last week, I do so enjoy working on this beautiful quilt.
I started by making around 30 berries and appliquéing those on; I do enjoy making these. Then I remade a vase as my other two were a reverse by mistake?????
I then added my main centre flower. I wanted to use this salmon pink but I could not choose a dark colour to use with it, finally I picked out a piece of kimono fabric and all these salmon colours had this deep purple and mauve back ground so I went for the deep purple silk and I think it works.
Yes I do like the deep purple!!!!
I real must finish off making my Oak leaves but they scare me LOL
My first yellow flower, I have made 5 petals over wash away freezer paper then arranged the petals to make my flower using two different yellow silk fabrics with a deep navy centre not sure if I will stay with the navy centre??????
This is my 3rd vase I have made for my 3rd armament ????? I'm much happier with this lighter colour I felt the dark brocade was to heavy for the style of this vase this looks more art deco to me. I have also added another yellow flower they are time consuming but satisfying.
I have several WIP’s I would like to finish below is the centre of one of these quilts?????? I hope I at least get one WIP finished this year??????
Background fabric is made of very very fine wool kimono fabric it is so fine most people would think it was silk. Appliqué parts are silk.

School holidays at present so I took my DGS with me to the beach and breakfast this morning and I had a lovely time with him.
It was a beautiful morning but there was no one on the beach just Liam and I.
This one is for you Anne Marieke I was lying on the beach taking this photo, waiting for a big wave to come up to the log when an extra big one came in and swilled around me lying there and the log LOL. I got the photo I wanted but I was in my clothes not swimmers so ended up rather wet LOL.
My DGS slowly unwinding and been silly for me. Pretending to be incased in the rocks. It was wonderful to walk along the waves as they washed up today.
Life is good!!!!
These are yours Liam dear.
I gave DGS my camera and said try and take photo's out side the box???? This is his first photo!!!!!

Even the coastal flowers looked beautiful in the earl morning sunlight.
Seen on the way home from the beach a very exotic tropical plant.
No photos of creepy crawlies this week. But I will share a photo of the two lovely plates I found this morning.
Two very different but both lovely plates I found this morning down at the Beach Opp Shops. One for Bulgaria and one from Japan.
We are on a cyclone alert for 4 days time so we will be busy battening down till then.
Thanks for dropping in to my wee part of the globe.
Cheers Glenda
Thank you for that wonderful beachscape, Glenda. Sorry you had to get wet to get the photo LOL
Your grandson is a good photographer in the making.
Love your LE. It is coming along beautifully.
Hugs,
Anne Marieke
I think the blue heart in the yellow flower makes the flower more alive! Really love it!
Once again beautiful photos. I can hardly wait for our landscape to be a bit greener. Spring is slowly coming this year. It is so nice to be close to the water. I love that you and Liam are making memories for him, I am sure he will remember his Nanny taking photos on the beach and getting wet LOL. What fun.
Hugs Bunny Oh your LE is gorgeous.
Your LE is coming along beautifully. I would never have thought the background of the 2nd quilt was wool. As always I enjoy your pictures of Ocean and flowers. Your costal flower looks like our morning glory. DH and I are at the beach visiting our DGD#3 on the Atlantic. Last day, few hours at beach then flight home. It has been a nice visit.
love the photos – the beach looks so inviting! your G-son must be so much fun – I think mine must be about the same age or so. I like all the photos it is hard to pick a favorite
Stopping by from Esther’s blog — your applique is gorgeous! As is your coastal view. Lovely walk — thanks for allowing me to tag along! Your grandson has great photographer potential! 🙂
G’day Glenda,
Hoping that Ita doesn’t give you too much grief and you, your family and community are all kept safe.
I also taught my 3 to ‘look outside the box’ with photography as well as nature.
Keep safe –
