A POST FINALLY- you will need more than a coffee to get through this post.

Hello everyone. I have so many photos I was going to share but i cant see what is posting until its posted... so good luck What have I been doing...... I sent off 2 beanies for charity to Jan Mac. she does so much for charity. Have a look at what se does https://sewmanyquiltstoolittletime.blogspot.com/

I hve spent a lot of time making masks and some people have requested straps for the elastics so their ears dont hurt. Imade some for my husband to try. which he liked then wanting some for work. When he is wearing it with his hat you cannot even see it. So I made some pretty ones too.

The other week Annie from a group I belonged to a while agao asked if I wanted to join their ZOOM meeting. Of course I said YES. We had a great chat with lotsof laughs. It has been a while since I have soken to any of them. Annie did visit me in Mildura when she was on a holiday here a couple of yearsback. We enjoyed the day catching up

So my Bonnie Hunter Frolic came out and played. I had already started sewing sashings on then it was put away. I spent some time getting my head around it. Sewed the rest of the sashings, gave it an iron & hung it on the wall. I just love it. Now I have to get inspired to sew the borders.

Next thing that has been happening is a little secret but our quilt group has a miniature challenge happening. I couldn't get into it so wasn't going to participate. You know how you all have those beautiful fabrics you just don't want to cut into. Well, I did. I designed a small piece, started cutting then sewing. Wow I have finished it and love it too. Doing some hand quilting

and the backing

I spent a Friday night scrapbooking with an online group I used to scrap with in person. Make a Page Scrapbooking with Kylie & Mel. They are on Facebook, which I am not. My daughter and grandson spent the night scrapping too. It was fun. This happens once a month where ther is chatting, scrapping, voting and a winner.. I haven't scrapped in quite a while so this was fun.

Next I had a play around with a fun little Maple block. I have always loved them and I was happy with how this one worked. Sometmes you just have to do something little for fun.

There was a link to a free house pattern in our quilt group newsletter. I made 4 with the fabrics from FROLIC as I had them out. Here is the link to make your own VILLAGE quilt .

okay, so if you are still here - you are amazing - I finished my UFO project - the key holders. I love them and have some for gifts now. Very Happy.

Now Sarah will be celebrating a very special birthday and put out a request for a birthday block to go into her her and help her celebrate. Yes i did one and have posted it. I know she is crazy in love with cats- especially ZORO https://sarahdidit.blogspot.com/2020/07/feline-friday-and-birthday-cake-71720.html

A girl at work wanted a super hero mask for her $ year old son - Rhyder - His friend wears one and he felt like he was missing out so of course I had to help. I dragged out some scraps and made him 2..

He sent me this photo to say thankyou

Well after all this sewing I decided to clean my sewing machine. Boy did it need it. Look at the mess that was in there. It sews a lot better now

And today I had a lovely afternoon tea with Judy and friends for Breast Cancer National Awareness. Judy raises money for this charity and normally holds a retreat but a ZOOM was held today because of COVID restrictions. Have a look at her Blog... http://newsfromjude.blogspot.com/
