Sunsets

Glenelg Beach

Adelaide

 Broadbeach-Queensland

Murray River, Renmark

South Australia

The last three photos are virtually the same just taken about 5 minutes apart

I love taking photos of Sunsets and Sunrises, as they are

always so pretty and each sunset has its own uniquesness 

(is that a word???............Oh well I'm using it)

Have a great day!

Daisy Baby

Well it won't be long now till the first bubby arrives, I think

the 19th May is the due date, we still dont know

what sex the baby is but I have one quilt ready.

Obviously suitable for a girl..............still working

on the boy quilt!

Fabric is Hushabye by Tula Pink, perfect for a little

girl

I made this quilt from a 5" Charm Pack x 2, by just measuring

in an inch from each side and cutting to the corners to create

the tumbler shape.

Very Easy.

I just thought after I had sewn it together that it needed a little

someting so I added the daisies using the raw edge

applique technique

I have quilted an edge to edge pattern called

Splat by Anne Bright

So heres hoping one of my nieces has a girl.

Hugs!

 Amys Creative Side

Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme Quilt designed by

Kookaburra Cottage

I made this quilt at the request of a lovely lady named Pam

who asked if I could make a quilt to be Raffled for  CIKA (Cancer in Kids) at

the Royal Childrens Hospital here in Melbourne.

It took me about 3 months to make and quilt and I was very pleased

with the way it turned out. It also used a good lot of my scraps up and raised about $5000 for the hospital which was so amazing.

Happy Festival!

A Gardeners Journal

 My Good friend Linda from Balranald came to visit

the other day to drop of her beautiful quilt for me to quilt.

 As you can see mine does not have borders on yet as I am waiting 

for fabric.

 I so enjoyed the Stitch A Long in Blogland it certainly

encouraged me to keep going as I know I would of

lost interest and it would get buried in the bottom of cupboard.

Although I am a little behind I really appreciated the cheers

and encouragement from the other girls, it really kept me going.

Thanks Guys!
