A Beautiful day. Sunny & Stitching

It was a beautiful day on Sunday.

The sun was out, flowers are blooming. Spring is nearly here.

The kookaburras are laughing and we had a visiting bird strutting through the front yard..

All the time I was stitching away watching tv.....

Such a relaxing day.

The bindings are done and 2 more finishes.....

NTT ...... NEEDLE & THREAD THURSDAY.

Hilly houses......

A few weeks back I was lucky enough to win 11  house blocks measuring 9". These were from my Heathcote Quilt group. I go once a month. Last Xmas we were given a little parcel with a pattern for a house block and pieces of fabric for the house itself. The rest was up to you. If you completed your block and handed it in you received a raffle ticket. Well I was the lucky one.

I was reading Ellen's blog . http://littlejewelquilts.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/making-it-happen.html.

She was talking about her house blocks she had dug out of the cupboard. 

This made me think of mine. So out they came and a quilt top was put together. 

I did follow the tutorial from Bonnie Hunters blog.

I changed the houses to go one direction and made the borders larger. I wanted the borders to show so I only used two colours. It looks like you are going up hill. Now all I have to do is get it quilted. Not sure what to do but I'll keep thinking.

 Thankyou Ellen for making me get a move on with them.
