Catching up on quilt photos........and other stuff.....

I think I said I would be back soon with a blog post of customer quilts, and here it is the weekend, again! Where are the weeks going?? Max had been busy with another custom quilt this week, and I had a trip up the highway, enjoyed family here for one night earlier in the week, and the Angels had their sewing day on Thursday. Perhaps I have just answered my own question!

Tomorrow it is church, and I have friends coming for lunch, so perhaps I should do some housework in the morning?? And all too soon it will be Monday again, and another week will soon disappear. 

While I was searching for photos that had not been shown, I realise that some of these go back to April, so I must have had lots of other things to blog about.

This Stack and Wack quilt was made by Jean, using her collection of purple fabrics. This was quilted allover with a pattern called Flutterbye.

 Kath made this quilt, called One Day at A Time and it was custom quilted.

This quilt was made by Maxine, using a great collection of Kaffe Fassett fabrics. It was quilted allover with a pattern called Along the Way, by Ann Bright.

Val made this string quilt, using lots of assorted strips from the string bin, and it was quilted allover with a Paisley pattern.

Val also made this in a Mystery quilt class with Lois, which was started a few years ago, so she is happy to call it done. The allover pattern on this is called Inside Out.

Sandy made this quilt, and it was quilted with Modern Waves.

Sue made the next 2 quilts, and both were quilted edge to edge with Tapestry.

Jill finished this quilt for a friend, and it was very simply custom quilted.

Pat's granddaughter Yasmin made her a jelly roll quilt, and it was quilted with Baroque Hearts.

That is all for tonight, although there are many more in the files, so I am sure to be back soon one day!

We are in the midst of another very cold week, although the mornings are not frosty. We have had very strong winds, and rain, and I am reminded how fortunate I am to have a comfortable, warm house, a wood fire, and lots of quilts to keep warm. I travelled up the highway on Friday, and on the way home had to stop for a photo of the rainbow I saw. Sorry it's not that good, but I had to be quick, as the cars all whizzed past me, it was about to rain, and the window was down. The colours were much more vibrant than the photo shows.

I mentioned family time, and had DD2 here Monday night with 2 of her children, and 2 of DD1's girls. They travelled to Melbourne to spend time with DD3 and family.

This photo is of 8 of my grandies, taken at the recent birthday celebration for GD3.

After my appointment on Friday I visited Dad, and then had lunch at Mum's and enjoyed a visit by Miss Bridie and Mr Tate, and their mum. Mr Tate is growing up so fast, as he is almost sitting up now. Miss Bridie is excited that she is about to have her 4th birthday.

That's all the newsfromjude for now. There will be much more to report on next week, as preparations are under way for next weekend's Christmas in July retreat. Perhaps I better get the Christmas box out and find the small tree and decorations. Santa has been booked, and the pudding organised. Hopefully there will be more quilts completed, and there is another trip up the highway planned this week too.
