<br />
OK, I know I may be too old and/or too fat to ride a bike but I decided that I would take the plunge and get myself a bicycle. So here she is! Her name is Moriah and I have safely ridden her home from the bike shop (through the back streets!) I am hoping to ride her to work (not too far - 3 kms) and to try to avoid the tram tracks!!!<br />

Isn't she a beauty!<br />
<br />
On the sewing front I have almost finished the Joseph's coat with buttons. Pictures will be supplied in a day or two, and I have been working on this fun thing with a jelly roll. Not too bad for half a day's work!! These are just laid out at the moment, I have another 32 blocks to finish and then I will make the final placement adjustments as required. A lot of fun. The idea came from watching the<a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/MissouriQuiltCo" target="_blank"> Missouri Star Quilt Company</a> tutorials on You Tube.<br />

Well, Joseph's coat is coming along but the buttons are driving me made. I thought I had made enough but I was way out (of course if I read the instructions I would have known that!) Who reads instructions I hear you ask? Here is some of the quilt ready to be joined together. The fabrics have been fun to work with. I have added some photos taken in country in Victoria recently - just for interest<br />

This is the first Giant Dahlia I made using <a href="http://www.michelleyeoquiltdesigns.com/html/s01_home/home.asp" target="_blank">Michelle Yeo'</a>s pattern. I made it as a gift and was thrilled with how quickly it went together. The fussy cutting makes it so much fun.<br />
<br />
I have another friend who is having a big O birthday and thought that a Giant Dahlia might be a good one to do. Here it is as it is being assembled. I need to get a wriggle on as it has to go to <a href="http://www.addictedtoquilts.com.au/" target="_blank">Desley</a> very, very soon for quilting!!<br />

We have just had 2 visitors from the United States to stay for a week and it has been great. It has been nice to see our country through the eyes of strangers to our home. Fortunately, they enjoyed themselves immensely and we had a great time too. We went to the football at the MCG.....................<br />

I haven't done any blogging for ages. I don't really know what else I have been doing other than working but I did want to add a picture of a little quilt I made for some friend's grand child who is due in the next month - very exciting. It is very bright,was quick to make and the outcome is lots of fun:<br />

My friend had her 50th birthday recently and we got her friends and family to make a block that represented what Elly meant to them. This is the nearly finished result, it was worth the effort to see her face on the night when we gave it to her. She was completely speechless!<br />

School holidays are here too, this means that our son will remain glued to the couch playing computer games for 2 weeks when he should be preparing for his year 11 studies........I am sick of nagging him to get stuck into it. It seems to have the opposite effect anyway, so I am resigned to seeing him but not getting any interaction with him for the next few weeks.</div>

One of my friends suggested that she really needed a quilt, so I visited Corliss at <a href="http://www.threadbear.com.au/" target="_blank">Threadbear</a> over the weekend and purchased some lovely blues and browns. Thanks Corliss! This is the outcome. Of course the blocks are a bit wobbly because I am not great with tiny pieces but I am very happy with the overall effect.</div>

My son was wanting to learn how to make a hat. So, yesterday we read the instructions together and this morning he cut out the fabric and he has just finished his first Polar Fleece beanie!

I had a nice day today visiting my lovely brother and sister in law. We talked about photography and blogs. My brother and I are going to a camera workshop in late January so we were comparing notes about our cameras. They are both the same brand but his is much newer than mine.Lovetoquilthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15374029817759080433noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063303506818691377.post-22451654056823686692012-01-03T06:52:00.002+11:002012-01-04T11:50:22.836+11:00The border is onYesterday I took my time and added the border to Barbara Brackman's <a href="http://barbarabrackman.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Civil War Quilt</a>. I was careful to get it right as I did enough unpicking yesterday and last week. Anyway, I am very pleased with the result. Unfortunately the picture doesn't show the border, it is a pretty big quilt. If I can get the backing sewn up today I will be very pleased. I want to finish off the quilt with the lavendar coloured roses embroidered on it but I can only do so much of it at one time becasue the perle thread is thick and my fingers really hurt after 4 or five roses...........at this rate it could take me another year to finish. I really want to start the English Baskets c1800 quilt from <a href="http://www.threadbear.com.au/" target="_blank">Threadbear</a> BUT I have to finish several others first. Maybe I will try to focus on the Pine Burr Quilt. It is going to be another scorcher today so best to stay indoors and sew. I have to go to an appointment for 2.20pm but I won't be venturing out at any other time today.<br />

I took this photo this morning after watering the small raised garden bed in the country. This little spider has been very industrious, this is the third web he has created in the last week. He waits patiently by the side of the web and if the web moves significantly for more than one second he scuttles out into the web to see what he has caught. Sadly for him today it was only droplets of water.Lovetoquilthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15374029817759080433noreply@blogger.com0
