yes Im still alive

-

Yes Im still alive- just no time to blog (does that sound familiar to lots of you).
Each new month I have good intention of posting heaps but I always manage to not do it.
Anyways we have been really busy here on the farm - it is calving season so cows and calves everywhere but still no rain (well the odd shower or two but nothing exciting). Please keep praying for it for us and the others on the land.
What have I been doing quilt wise?
Well I took an online class at quiltuniversity www.quiltuniversity.com on handpiecing as it is something Ive been avoiding - and it has been excellent so far.
Here is the table runner I hand pieced (and hand quited I might add!) The only part done by machine is the binding. Looks pretty good I reckon - what do you think?

My Mum was lovely – she cared so much about her family and so loved to hear about all our goings on Although in later life she had health issues – she faced them all bravely and worked to find out the best way to live her best life and bore them with dignity. Her life was one of change and she changed and adapted with the changes. Pamela Blanche Geoghegan was born in Bendigo on the 30th December 1938 (yes she just missed her birthday this year) to loving parents Stanley Norman Geoghegan and Emily Ada Blanche Pattinson.

Ive had a very special finish and its a quilt that I love, I wish I didnt have to make but Im so glad that I have When mum went to heaven, the online quilting group that I am a member of - Southern Cross Quilters had the members make me heart blocks in rememberance of my dear mum. I asked for rainbow colours for the hearts as one of mums favorite songs was Somewhere Over the Rainbow. This is the result and its it lovely..... Its taken me a while to be able to sew them together and to quilt and bind it - I needed to wait for the right time Yes it was sad but also so very healing and it is one very special quilt that will hold a very special place in my heart Thank you to each and every one of the SCQuilters who made me a block Your love shines through Also PS the fabric I used as the borders and the backing fabrics were mums as was the label panel - that felt right
