the waters been lovely and it's a great way to start my day.....
At the end of October I asked if anyone would like to join in an easy Tea Towel Swap , no pressure just whenever they had time.. 7 ladies joined in and so far 4 have sent me their gorgeous decorated Tea Towels.
This cute "Diva" Tea Towel was made and sent from Cheryll......
Next is a Beautiful Garden Themed one from Fiona
Lots of fabulous funky caravans, bikes and camping things on Janice's
and Jo appliqued a cute caravan with bunting on a lovely HUGE Tea Towel...
Thank you Ladies, love all the tea towels and they seem to nice to use. 😉
I've done all my Christmas cards and got them posted
We did a quick trip to the big smoke to visit my DD2 and family ... While there I finished some shopping and have posted the Great grand Kids Christmas parcels...
After see Janice's Laundry Basket Mystery Quilt I decided it was the one I would like to make for our bed from the FQ bundle Iv'e had for ages, so I have downloaded the pattern and can't wait to start it 
BUT before I do I've got 12 days to make Hubby a new "Aussie Flag " quilt for his Christmas gift....
I have mended his old one so many times , as you can see HERE , it is time for a new one...
Half of the 6 1/2" blocks have been cut 
and I've made a start on the English flag for the corner
So I must away, make a cuppa and get on with my sewing......
Stay safe and take care
Hugs Maria ❤

Lovely teatowels you we sent. I had to smile at you deciding to make the quilt because after seeing Janice's i thought that i would like to make it too. :). I was going to start it when it first came out but just didn't have the time then. Maybe i will start in the New Year.

Lovely to start the day bobbing! The tea towels are amazing, another is on the way, if it is allowed over the border! And they are for using!! Looking forward to seeing your new quilt.
ReplyDeleteMust be lovely to start your day with a swim - especially in the sea. The teatowel swap was a great idea and you have a lovely collection of towels now. Good luck with finishing that quilt on time. xx
ReplyDeleteThe tea towels do look too good to use, and a swim looks a great way to start your day, except perhaps in the winter??
ReplyDeleteI have yet to get to the beach....definitely not beach weather here at present. It is a lovely way to start the day. Those t/towels will certainly add a happy spot to the teatowel rack.
ReplyDeleteThe tea towel exchange sounds like it was a lot of fun. You received some really pretty ones. A daily visit to the beach is a great way to start the day.

The tea towels look great, such a nice idea for a swap. You always have such interesting projects on the go.
ReplyDeletehi, Maria! So glad I popped in today. I’ve almost always lived near the sea, but never anywhere that the water was warm enough for daily morning swims! Love those tea towels! What a grand idea. You’ve kept so busy and accomplished so much.
ReplyDeleteOh My, lots going on as always. I got your card as I was going out the door. Thank you. I hope you get hubbys quilt done in time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea taking a bucket of water back to the car. You have received some lovely tea towels. Hope you get hubby's quilt finished in time. xx
ReplyDeleteThe water looks so inviting. Your tea towels are so pretty. They will have such sweet memories as you use them. I am looking forward to seeing the new quilt that you make for your hubby. I'm surprised that he is allowing you to replace the old one. ;-)
