Sew it Show it- Shades of Blue

 

The Challenge: This one is Shades of Blue. Easy, peasy.  Add shades of blue to your project. Show us your winter blues. It can be any stitched project, just make sure there is a shade of blue somewhere.

I love blue, so I decided to join Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks even though it is mid summer here so no winter blues. 

I made this quilt as a donation quilt for a woman here in town whose daughter suicided a few years ago, I don't know the woman but she works at the local Woolworths supermarket and she is always pleasant and friendly. She runs a raffle every year for Beyond Blue which is a suicide prevention organisation , so I asked her if she would like a quilt for her raffle, she said yes so this is it. 

The quilt is called Warm Hugs and is a Meadow Mist Design quilt pattern by Cheryl Brickey. I am quiltinig on my domestic machine a very simple straight line design.

January 2023

Well Hello 2023 I feel like this month snuck up on me and knocked me over. IThis post has a lot of pictures.

We ended the year with a quick trip to Wollongong, Anorina from sameliasmum.com and I caught up for a shopping spree and lunch, it was great to see her again, watch out if you do see her she is an influencer of fabric buying. I bought some lovely clothes and a lot of fabric.

Son no.3 and his partner came up to our place for Christmas day and stayed for almost a week it was great to see them, then my niece and her little family came for a couple of days. We took the boat out to Lake Keepit with a new skitube, the little girls wouldn't go on it after seeing Brad being dumped from it, there was too much air in the tube and he couldn't stay on.

It was a bit overcast but a beautiful day.

A gorgeous Lily popped up in the garden, it wasn't there last year. My cute pink tree makes me smile.

My neighbours night flowering cactus was amazing.

Sophie and Brad have there first quilt, I started this over 15 years ago it was the second quilt that I machine stitched, I lost some of the pieces for the borders so it went into the cupboard for a long holiday.

This is a project bag that I made for a friend I amazed myself with the quilting it turned out so good. This is the first book fininsh of the year it was a great story set in Queensland but a lot of the places mentioned were around here too.

That's it.
