It’s been

a funny week. Yesterday was Anzac day here in Aussie which means it was also a public holiday. So I lost my Wednesday and today feels like Monday not Thursday. Better not forget it is Friday tomorrow and I go to exercise and then coffee with the ladies.
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…… 
    006

while it dried 010
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.

  1. 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.

  3. Oh you've been busy...even with a mixed up week. The "anzac" quilt looks fantastic and very appropriate too!
    Lacy looks so much prettier even if she's NOT happy! :)

  7. 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

  8. Washing fabric and poochies is so much better than doing the laundry. And at least you don't need to iron the dog!

  15. I 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.

    And 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!!

  21. Hi 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
