I would love to have the image for the blog hop but it's not happening here today

Joan @ Moose Stash Quilting is running a new blog hop Falling For You and today is my turn.

Here in Australia we are in spring but what the hey? 

I thought I would make a little table runner with blocks from Lori Holts book Quilty Fun.

So out came the book and a bag of Lori Holt fabric that I have made bits and pieces with (I still have a fair bit left) and I started cutting teeny tiny bits.

At this stage I had two choices of the center fabric, orange or blue/ So I consulted with an expert, I messaged my good friend Anorina from @sameliasmum and she agreed with the blue I did prefer the blue.

So then I quilted around the leaves with mono thread and did a few straight lines in the centre maybe one day I will do a bit of hand quilting in the centre but not today and it's finished and I'm happy

I should probably say these links won't work I need some blog lessons.

Have a great day and thenks for stopping by.

 I love Spring

Spring is clean to me, the weather is getting warmer, the birds are everywhere, except in the pine trees we cut down, sorry little Wrens. The garden is getting there we have mulched and potashed the roses. Mulched the fruit trees, barrowed sooooo many loads of wood mulch from the tip into the raised beds and then sifted the mulch for top soilm that's fun there's all sorts of muscles involved in that. we have 2 beds ready for planting and the third will be next week. We pegged out the next two smaller beds today and cemented the posts in. I hate using the post hole digger just saying. I'm getting good and cementing posts though.

 So we picked a lot of the Mandarins before it rained last week and I made Jam I am over making jam, in a few months I'll be whinging about tomato sauce and cucumber pickles. 

In the last few months I have read Nora Roberts, I think her shopping lists would be good, this book was great suspenseful as all her books are. I got through another two Winston Grahams books from the Poldark series I love them and I finally finished the 100 year old man who climbed out the window and disappeared. This was hilarious. I have been going to the Peel St Quilt group in Tamworth until lockdown anyway and I have joined in a couple of Zoom Meets with Chooky Blue and friends and I have been sewing my Smitten Quilt

That's a wrap I think for August
