Torrington Complete

Hi All

Just a quick little post to share photos of a finished Torrington Park - the Quiltmania 2017 Mystery Quilt by Michele Yeo. Mine is very different from the Original and contains only 9 of the 13 Blocks.  


I used the Quilt as You Go Method (a first) and am very happy with the result

It will be gifted to a beautiful friend in the coming months for her birthday


Til Next Time

2018 Here We Go!


Hi All
Well Christmas has been and gone again and here we are in 2018 - its the summer heat in Australia and we all all feeling it.

These are my blocks from Torrington Place by Michelle Yeo, the Quiltmania 2017 Mystery Quilt. 9 Blocks is it for me ( i think there are 13). Onto the quilting now which I'm doing the Quilt as You Go method to complete. I used an app to play with how I will place them - what a good idea!!

Christmas

This year I really wanted to bring the Christmas Spirit to our home as its been missing for some time. I made a lot of the decorations which was heaps of fun, I plan on adding some more for this year. What a difference some lights make - and they were all battery operated including the candles! I finished my little stitcheries too and had them on display.We had my family over for Christmas Dinner which was lovely, our whole Christmas was very peaceful.

I had a visit to the NSW East Coast prior to Christmas to see my Girls. My Granddaughter has grown so much and is a real little personality. Its hard to believe she's almost 2.

Enjoying some morning sunshine before the heat hits

Today a spot of quilting & stitching was on order. JulieAnn & I doing our best to avoid the extreme heat which was 44+degrees Celsius where we are; that is our usual summer.

So here we go into 2018, Cheers! It's a big one for me when I say I Do to my Extremely Beautiful Man (who even cooked us lunch today). He's a good catch ;0)

Until Next Time Friends
Take Care & Happy Stitching
Love
Linda
