2023 - week 34 - August 20 - August 26

-
The days are getting so much nicer although the mornings are still a bit coolish and we did have a frost one morning but I do think spring is on its way! Plenty more (actually lots!!!!) of babies born this week. I did finish quite a few crafting things this week but one task in particular was Very Important. My grandson Declan said he knew that I could "fix anything" and could I please fix 3 of his toys that their puppy Dakota had, well, wrecked. Pressure was on but I managed to get it done! Heres after -
And heres before - Im pretty pleased with how they turned out and I think Ive kept my title of being able to fix anything!
I also finished the rainbow y hexagon quilt and Im super happy with how it turned out - thanks to my friend Nicky who gave me the bones of it and I added a bit of my own flair. Once again I quilted this with stippling using variageted thread and I think it suits it really well
I also completed another quilt but its a bit of a secret at the moment, so Ill share a pic of that once I have permission from the person Im gifting it too so stay tuned! No books finished this week - but after all I did finish 3 last week! Ive started two quite long books one on audio and one a physical book - I may or may not get them finished by next week Hows your week been? Hopefully productive and blessed See you next week!

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. The year previously her brother Brian Stanley was born but he died shortly after birth. When she was only 6 years old her father Stan passed away at the age of 30 and for the next 13 years it was just Pam and her mother Blanche living together and they got on famously as Mum would say. The first change in her life. N...

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
