Capital T finished

Managed to finish this quilt today. Finished the quilting this morning and stitched the binding tonight whilst watching tv. This means I can take it to red club tomorrow for show and tell. It is just a small quilt. (60cmx60cm maybe? I haven't measured it) Looking forward to red club tomorrow.

Blue skies!

It has definitely been a cooler September here in Adelaide than it usually is, but we had beautiful blue skies today. This was the day just before it disappeared into the twilight. You can see the last rays of the sun illuminating my red club 3 quilt, "Capital T" by Marg Low. I put this together late last night, but thought I would wait until daylight to photograph it. Almost missed the daylight today by the time I got around to photographing it! I was busy sewing. I started work on some blocks for a new quilt. Went to the patchwork apple and then stretched and basted the capital T quilt and started quilting. I must have been enjoying myself cause I was most surprised when my Bradley came in search of me and told me it was 11pm. So I am now in bed doing this quick post and (hopefully) will be fast asleep soon! Goodnight!

Hexie table runner finished!

Finished! And I love it. It looks pretty good on my table outside, but is destined for a sewing table. Which is a tad messy at the moment, because I have been sewing table runners. You know how sewing rooms go! So here it is outside. This afternoon has been very sunshiney, which is nice after the cold, grey, wet morning we had. I am very happy with this finish. Now for the other two table runners I started whilst dreaming about this one!

Sit and Sew at the Patchwork Apple

Friday afternoon saw me at the Patchwork Apple for sit and sew. I sat and sewed my Marg Low red club hexies. Aren't they looking great? My little hexie quilt has morphed into a table runner which I am making for one of my sewing tables. I am loving it and can't wait to finish it and get it on the table!

My view to the front of the shop from my sit and sew chair. I have been going to the Patchwork Apple for the last 16 years and it is one of my favourite places in Adelaide. Being a Patchwork Apple customer has been a lot of fun! The photo below is Jean getting started on her redwork. Jean and I were the first ones there on Friday afternoon. We are keen! I spent a happy four hours stitching and had a lovely drive home. The drive from Woodside to Hahndorf is just beautiful. The day was grey and rainy and there were autumnal trees all the way along. The freeway was pretty too with a light fog making everything look magical! A great day!

More pies..........

I have been working on Mr 16s quilt, but I'm not finished yet. However, some handstitching has been happening. Pies in fact. These are the latest. The pies no longer seem overwhelming and I am enjoying working with the different fabrics. I am off to Marg Low's red club at the Patchwork Apple this week. I saw Granny Loz's red club report and can't wait to go do the same thing myself! Good week coming up!!!
