What a Huge Weekend

The stacks of hourglass blocks are growing - another 11 or so days and they will be done.  Then I'll start making a nine patch block each day and put the quilt top together.  It's going to be very colourful.

Sewed the last of the Kaleidoscope blocks together last week - waiting for backing to arrive then it can be quilted.  200 different floral fabrics in this quilt.

All the main Nine Patch Waltz blocks are made and have been "snowballed".  I've been waiting for a special Bloc Loc ruler to arrive to make the points that go into the second lot of nine patch blocks and it arrived yesterday, so I'll start those blocks soon.

Last week the new, heavy, solid back door was hung.  Big change from the other door that was there for 30+ years.

Philip built the new front gate on Saturday - looks wonderful.  He had heaps of help from my grandchildren who were there for the day.  Lots of running around keeping up with the 2 year old :)

Last week's Sewcialite block is called "Zest" designed by Brigitte Heitland.

I made little sweetheart a Busy Book for his second birthday.   First saw this on Instagram and then found the instructions on the Bernina website.

Saturday and Sunday nights were long - Jenni was having her baby.  I spent a good part of Saturday night cutting out two Christmas quilts (Handmade with Love and Vintage Holiday 2).  The peppermints are from Handmade with Love.
