And what a week its been - Ive been back in Queensland, but with the whole of our family which has been tiring but a blast! Ill do a seperate blog post on that as we did A Lot I have however managed to finish a few things that were just about finished before I left and they are now Firstly the Flower Pot Quilt by Kim Mc Lean and I most used Kaffe Facet fabrics from a kit I got from Honeysuckle Patchwork when they were still open (Miss you Nicky!) I need to stop making such huge quits as they are very difficult to photograph! Its also quite heavy due to all the applique But here it is
And heres the label too
I also finished a pair of Vanilla Latte Socks using clever Self striping Yarn - these are for my stepgranddaughter Evie who requested them and who am I to not make something for someone who asks for them! She lives in Queensland and I had hoped to finish them while I was there and gift them to who but it wasnt meant to be so I will have to post them
I havent finished any books - I was reading As Good As Dead (Good girls guide to murder no 3) by Holly Jackson but to be honest I skimmed it and didnt read it properly and didnt really get that much of the story so I cant count that as a book finished I think the first book in the series was excellent the others have been a stretch And Ive decided life is too short to read books I dont enjoy! So thats a quick craft and reading update and Ill do another queensland one probably tomorrow!

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...

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
