BLESSED SPEEDY

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

Whoops! I forgot to do a blog post last week - did you miss me LOL Ive therefore got plenty to show you and to talk about, but firstly on the farm, weve been busy making silage and have one cow left to calve! Everywhere else seems to be getting good rain unfortunatley we have not- thank the Lord for irrigation! Excitingly Aimee and I got to the the Pharoah exhibiton at the National Gallery in Melbourne! Words cannot describe how amazing it was - to be able to see these ancient artificats is something I never thought I would do - yes still want to go to Egypt......................... So onto what Ive finished over the last two weeks - I finished a pair of socks - the pattern is String of Lights and I used some gorgeous yarn from Natural Fibre Arts And a hat with yarn that has been in my stash forever and Ive gone to gift/sell it many times but havent Its The verdant gryphon codex and the pattern is classic ribbed hat I also finished the mini quilt which I started a week or two ago!...
