A Mixed Bundle....
I have been busy this past week machine quilting ''gum leaves'' around the boarder of my "home sweet home BOM"... now I am waiting for the binding fabric to come in the mail and when it is all done I will THEN show you a photo...
Plus we had a quick over night trip to Perth so Hubby could have an ultra sound on his tummy and see the doc... he has a benign tumour but all is well and we will be keeping an eye on it for growth....
it all happens in this ''outback life'' hahahaha...

Last month I did a tea towel swap with some Canadian girls and the theme was Spring/Autumn and this is the tea towel Ann did for me...
Pumpkin Pie
Isn't it just great...
Ann did a wonderful job with her machine satin stitch
and the tea towel is huge.... thank you Mrs Mac xxx

And this is my block from Maria
Who is also doing the swaps here

These are all the RED fat quarters that I got for my birthday from two groups that I am involved with...
So many beautiful reds and they are all different not one the same and they came from all over Australia and Canada... love them all thanks girls xxx

This past couple of weeks this HUGE Gum Tree has been making a absolute mess of my yard and leaving lots of calling cards on my washing....
You can see how big it is next to the washing line....
It is leaving all these little yellow caps on the ground and you must wear something on your feet when out there as they are so sharp... the tree is a buzz with bee's and wasp's after the little flowers...

In these bags are all the 6 inch squares all ready for sewing of my sisters birthday quilt.... blues and purples with a yellow centre...
Sewn into there blocks....
Cut up ready to sew back together again....
The top all finished....
This is quite big as it fits a queen size with a 16 inch hang down on each side...
now for me to quilt it............
I think it will be just in the ditch....
