May Musings


Hi All
I cannot believe how fast time is getting away. The weather is cooling in our part of Australia and the Autumn leaves are everywhere, thank goodness, but we are still desperate for good rain.
May means my love & I have celebrated our First Wedding Anniversary...he's truly a special one and fills my heart every single day. 

Onto other nice things!
After completing the top of Jane Austeen a Di Ford-Hall design way back over the 2016 Christmas break I finally decided on a border and got it attached. I'm really happy with the total look after not knowing how I wanted it finished. 
What do you think? Now of course to be quilted (not a me job) as I'd really love to have it on our bed this winter.



Happy Linda

Roses are coming to end but the blooms do not disappoint at this time of year, especially after the blasting heat of a dry hot summer



This is Irish Circles, a needle turned & hand pieced quilt designed by Karen Cunningham. I got the top together in 2016, at that stage taking about 6 years! I've commenced hand quilting, a big first for me and to be honest all I can see is how long it will take.

And what is a post without Angus! This was Sunday morning on our bed, happy with himself because Mum didn't move him to make it. Love our Fur-baby (14)

That's about it til next time
Happy Stitching wherever you may be

Linda
