Time to catch up.

Nearly four weeks ago I decided that quilows would be great Christmas gifts for the four GGC so off to Geraldton to get suitable fabrics. These are the ones I purchased.







I managed to make two and cut the rest out ready to sew before going to Perth.
 
On our way we decided to go to Carnamah to see the small towns new tourist attraction. The Worlds Biggest Tractor 





It was worth the detour to see it.


Hubby and Lacy dwarfed under it


We needed to be away for 10 days so I spent time cutting out fabrics , in my DD2 craft room, for a Christmas skirt for GD 2 with the help of my assistant . NOT!







Got them sorted and she’s back and not listening !





Finally managed to to get some sewn together but when I turned around Lacy was back…….


I did finally get it all together ( after closing the door ) ready to sandwich, pin and quilt on my return.

I also joined in for FnwFs ( last week) and you can see what I made in the previous post.

It was great to be home again and I spent Saturday sewing catching up with my Laundry Basket blocks








Five done ! 

Just when I thought I’d caught up another is waiting for me.

Delighted to have make these tiny stockings for my two daughters and four eldest GC, 






Santa will pop some $$$ in each too! 



Onto Sunday and Monday and I completed the Quilows.

And just in time before I was knocked down with a terrible coughing virus that’s taken over a week to go. Will spend time quilting the Christmas skirt then sew on the binding for by tomorrow..

Must away now and write some cards,

Happy Stitching ๐Ÿงต 

Hugs  Maria ๐Ÿ’–

  2. I hope you are feeling better Maria, the Quilows are wonderful! Well done on getting them finished. Your helper does not seem to be helping very much! The little stockings are cute, and your blocks look great.

  7. Quillows will be a much used gift. They turned out well. Mick was very intrigued with the huge tractor. We may have to check it out one day. I do hope you have recovered from your flu.
