A Slower Week.

I was tidying up and found another set of string pieced blocks so decided to put them together and get another quilt finished. 

I also finished another quilt top donated by Mary-anne Goss from SA.

I've had a slower week as I caught another respiratory infection so not as much happened but I did manage to knit custom made jumpers for these cute teddies.  The cough is finally easing now so I plan on getting more tops finished ASAP.

It's Good To Have Finishes.

It's  been good to get some more finishes and the first quilt is one that I  made from 3 different sets of UFO blocks. 

The next 3 quilt tops were made and donated by Wendy Evans from Geelong.  She also included binding and backing for the tops which made them very easy to finish.

I've also been busy knitting baby's jackets and booties. 

I also finished another SB sized crocheted blanket as well as joining 4 smaller crocheted blankets together to make one larger ones.

Now that the slightly warmer weather has arrived it's been more comfortable pin basting quilt tops on the deck and I have a few more ready to quilt so I plan on getting more quilts finished soon.
