Anyway after going to the parade in the morning and then dropping DH at the RSL I went home and
washed fabrics, 6 times. Hope the dye is now set……
while it dried
managed to put the border on this one.
Why is it just when the wind drops enough to take a photo someone comes into the picture???
After ironing and cutting the fabrics I stitched them into blocks.
then put them together to make this.
I thought it was a good project to make on Anzac Day….
These quilts will be send to Jan-Maree at "Aussie Hero Quilts"
Oh and while I was washing things in the trough I did Lacy too. I don’t think she was impressed. LOL.
She did need a bath, look at the colour of the water.
Nice and clean now Lacy….. She still does not look happy…LOL...
Hugz, Maria
Lacy certainly doesn't look happy. Ginger doesn't like baths either but she has only had about 3 in her life. For some reason she doesn't get very dirty. She mainly has a bath when she's rubbed under one of the trucks at work and gets grease on her! The quilt top looks great.
ReplyDeleteThey all look fabulous Maria! I love both quilt tops! and Lacy might not be all that impressed with having a bath but she is still pretty cute!
ReplyDeleteOh you've been busy...even with a mixed up week. The "anzac" quilt looks fantastic and very appropriate too!
ReplyDeleteLacy looks so much prettier even if she's NOT happy! :)
Great post... I love the Ausi quilts under the gum trees..... and what a clever quilt you made in reds and blues.... I'm sure Lacy has cheered up now she is so clean and pretty...

I love the Aussie quilt too Maria. A great one to sew on Anzac Day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts!
ReplyDeletePoor lacy, she does look all sparkly and clean though.
Bless her! Why is it they hate having a bath, but show them a river and they are straight in!? Our Sam loves to swim but runs a mile if we say bath!! Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteLove your Aussie quilts xxx
ReplyDeleteWashing fabric and poochies is so much better than doing the laundry. And at least you don't need to iron the dog!
ReplyDeleteThe Aussie quilt is great, clever idea! And you're right Lacey does not look happy but she does look clean!
ReplyDeleteGreat projects for Anzac day, not sure about all that washing though?
ReplyDeleteCute clean puppy.
haha Lexi always seems to stroll into my quilt photos too! I love both of your quilts, nice work!
ReplyDeleteYou are so inspiring XXXOOOO
ReplyDeleteLove the block in the ANZAC quilt.
The fabric on the line on the verandah so Aussie.
Love DD2
I really hate weeks where my days are all mixed up!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour patriotic quilts are just beautiful. Nice work.
Poor Lacy. Baths are so soothing! Doesn't she know that? Now she needs that lei!
Lacy may not be happy but she sure is cute! I like both your Australia quilts. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your dog pictures. Whenever we look back at old pictures of the kids - our old dog is always in them somehow. She always managed to get atleast her tail in the shot.
ReplyDeleteAnd our new big dog - he has been getting a bath almost daily lately with all the spring mud. He loves every minute of it though. And thankfully - I don't have to do the work. My oldest son does it. Yay for me!!
Both your quilt tops look great
ReplyDeleteCute dog I think it,s time we got another one
Poor 'lil Lacey! Your quilts are wonderful! Have a nice Friday, and then weekend.
ReplyDeleteBoy you have been busy Maria and how cute and fluffy does Lacy look after her bath,and what a charactor getting in on your quilt photo,so funny.xx
ReplyDeleteDid you really do all of that in one day? Amazing! I love the quilts!
ReplyDeleteYou are a busy bee!!! What kind of dot is Lacy? She is a doll!
ReplyDeleteHi Maria, I just love your quilts - I know what you mean about taking pics, the wind blows or some special four legged friend wants to be in on the act. Cheers, SuziQ
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Aussie quilts, the red and blue quilt is very effective. Lacy looks so cute and so unimpressed!!
