Progress Update

I logged onto this blog today and am a bit dismayed that I have not updated since January.  Shame on me.  And its not like I haven't had anything to say but that is probably the problem.   Finally after years of preparation which included buying a block of land.  Buying another block of land after hubby saw it on a bike ride. Accepting an offer on first block of land.  Sale failed due to banks not financing as high a precentage on rural land.  Accepting another offer on first block of land. Sale failed due to banks not financing as high a precentage on rural land. Finally 2nd block becoming registered with Lands Department.  Accepting an offer on first block of land. Sale failed due to banks not financing as high a precentage on rural land.  Picking builder and paying deposit. Accepting an offer on first block of land.  SALE FINALISED - which really means money in the bank.  No my copy/paste did not get stuck.  What a saga.
 
So now we are here.


 The photo below is Panorama from the Iphone Camera.  It has made the house look wonky and its straight across not U shaped like it seems.

 
I can't say how much I am looking forward to sitting on my verandahs with this view. A little stitching and a cuppa or glass of wine. I'll feel like I'm on retreat every day.
 
Maybe to do more work on this.

Everythings finally coming together.

Finished Legacy

As you can see I have finally finished my version of Tallula Gilbert Bottoms quilt.
It was quilted by Louise Baker of Thornton. She has done 4 or 5 quilts for me now and does a fantastic job. This was an all over pattern - lots of circles. Of course it was quickly claimed for Shelbys bed.

Still going strong.


Heres the latest block. TAylor really enjoyed helping me with this one. She put it together like a jigsaw puzzle. Lots more to go better get back to it.
