Hope you are sitting down! My name is Aurely, you may not remember me as I don't blog very often.....just thought I would share a few photos of what I have been doing over the last few weeks. Looking forward to spending time out at the Country Yard tomorrow.

Productive Weekend

I love weekends where you have something to show, and weekends where you get time to do something for yourself ... not trying to be selfish or anything!!
First block of Breast of Friends finished, so finally it is underway.

Also managed to finish the binding on the Layer Cake quilt I started at Retreat for Ian and Christine's joint 60th birthday.  Beautifully quilted by Leeanne... no photo sorry, you will have to check her blog or her Facebook page.
Here's to a good week for you all my friends x

To Cheer a Child

I have had a fun Saturday afternoon sewing a pillowslip and cushions to go with Annalese's quilt.  She inherited a new bed today so was keen to glam up her room a little!!  Used a lot of bits and pieces left over from her original quilt (especially on the cushion backs which you cannot see here) with the addition of a yellow and orange weave.

Hope you are all enjoying a nice, restful weekend and managing to squeeze in a little sewing.  Hugs.

Hello poppets!

Thinking of Robin Williams, seems so sad. Boy did he make me laugh over the years. Mrs Doubtfire and Good Morning Vietnam would be my two favourite films.

Anyway sharing today three finished blocks of my Wendy Briggs Piecemakers quilt. Kerryn has made the same quilt, but used Kansas Troubles fabric (currently with the quilter!)

Block two, block one is on my blog. Kerryn you will notice something different here from the pattern..................no log cabins. I just wasn't sold on them, so 2" squares it was to be.
Next block three.

Nice to make time for some me sewing. Off to do some work on my daughters 21st quilt............the big bright sunflower and poppy quilt!
see you Wednesday night!

Rainy Day Achievements

 

Too wet to work outside and no family interruptions meant a great day of sewing for me yesterday.

First a finish.The last Breast of Friends block completed, now to start putting the quilt together

 

 

Second my Antique Quilt nearly there!

 The last of the blocks have been put together and now it just needs to be all joined up. The blocks have been joined since this photo so just the rows to go.

Finally a new start. The first block completed from the Friends and Companions Sewalong. Thank you (I think!) Raewyn for introducing me to Pam Buda's blog. Thank you Kerryn for guiding me with fabric choice, I am very happy with the outcome. A new block by a new designer is posted for the next 10 weeks so I look forward to seeing what comes next.

 

This is what Mother Nature dumped on us this afternoon!! A 10 minute hail storm, some of the hail was golf ball size. Brian and I were out working in the orchard and boy were we pelted. I think I will have a few bruises tomorrow.

 

 

The hail is still on the ground, 3 hours later. Have a great week all my fellow 'sisters'

Making time for sewing

                       Hello Sisters!!

 How are you on this mixed weather Sunday? Happy with time to be creative I hope.
I decided this afternoon was a good time to start my daughters 21st birthday quilt.
The following photo is the quilt I am modelling her's after, the same but not, if that makes sense?

Serena's will be similar, but I couldn't find the same fabric, but something close. This is the image Serena fell in love from Pinterest.

So let the cutting & sewing begin!

Enjoy your Sunday.
