Hi .This is the creek at my place that my business is named after. It hasn't looked like this for about 10 years. We have had lots of lovely rain and the creek "Deep Creek" rose about 8 feet. It has receded a bit now but we are expecting more rain in the next few days. It is lovely to live here.

This is the weir at Lannecoorie,not far from where I live. It has not looked like this for over 10 years. Yay!!!!!

That's me in the picture above.

I have also been quilting and will post some more tomorrow.

Quilt Aid Quilt

Presenting the latest Quilt Aid Quilt with the finishing kit from Quilters Bazaar. To hear all about Quilt Aid and how to buy this block of the month click on the hyperlink above. This quilt hung at Jeffs Shed last week and we are very proud of it.
I quilted it using some freehand background fills and some digitised designs.

French Braid

I love the rich colours of urples and greens in this French Braid Quilt made out of a Jelly Roll of batik fabrics. This is the result of a quilt in a day class available from Quilters Bazaar. The girls have great fun in these classes and still have something to show for their days work.
This was quilted with an all over design of ferns.

Georgous wall hanging

Here is a really cute wall hanging or Bunny Rug using Gollie stitcheries. It really has a warm country feel to it.

Fat quarter Quilt

I have been busy quilting three of thes quilts all have used the same fabric range and requested the same quilting design. These girls have been very busy in a class run by Quilters Bazaar in Gisborne. Even they were much the same they were also all very different.

Stitchery quilt

This lovely stitchery quilt has blocks with things such as the birth dates of the maker ,her husband , and their children.Their favourite cats present and passed , and other cherished memories. I could feel the love in this quilt as I was quilting it.

Boston Commons

Hello again.
This is a "Boston Commons" quilt It was a great learning curve for me as the borders,blocks,and triangles were all too big to quilt in one pass. I learnt how to successfully divide blocks to make them fit into the space I could quilt then to roll on the quilt and rejoin the blocks with no spaces and no tell tale signs. I used designs by Anne Bright,and I was very pleased with the finished quilt as was the owner.
