Looking for a Mate and Sooty

Looking for a Mate is the title of this quilt. It was inspired in a class help by Bernadine Hine.

Sooty was my challenge for Out of Ashes for the Challenging Ourselves group.

Mother's Day

I have just made my mother this little glasses case for Mothers Day.
It is a latch hook base with strips of material and wool threaded through the holes. I used felt for the inside.

It is beautiful weather up here on the Sunshine Coast. I love this time of the year.

Yesterday I went to the beach for a few hours and walked then came back to the car and read for a while. The sun seems to get right into your bones when it is not burning hot. It makes me sleepy so then I have a good nights sleep.

I took a group of people to our lovely restaurant in Glenview last week.

I wish I would have taken a picture of the meals as they look and tasted so good.

Here is a look at the setting and I would recommend you go check it out.

Lovely atmosphere and food. I could sit for hours in the setting.

They have catered for so much. A small children enclosed area, an older children area with computer

games, smoker and pet area. NOW that is fantastic to see.

 

Some of the resort is still being built.

This is what they will eventually cater for

Corporate Gatherings

Breakfast/Luncheon Meetings

Training/Education Seminars

Cocktail parties

Family Events

Intimate Weddings

Alfresco Dining

High Teas

Tropical Pool/Spa

Pet Area/Smoking Area

Art Mural display

Toddles and Older Kids Area

Resort Style Luxury Accommodation

Fully Furnished Serviced Rooms and Units

Have a great day

Hi All 

 

My latest challenge for ChallengingOurSelves Group

This is my Beauty from Ashes and I called him SOOTY. He is done on a piece of my sun dyed fabric. I think he looks a bit scared and just running out of a fire. I am still to put on his whiskers and do the edging. I am not sure if I will just bind it or add a black boarder and then do a scroll around the edge. I will post whatever I decide to do.

Great weekend away with the Palmwoods Girls

Hi All

I had a great weekend away on retreat with the Palmwoods ladies. I had a class in quilling and braiding. I loved the quilling but the braiding will take a little practice to get right.

Today Karyll and Alison at Palmwoods taught us how to make wool silk flowers.

Again I love this and so here is a picture. I did the red one in class and came home and made 5 more.

New site

Hi All

I AM BACK

After 7 months of no blog posting I am ready to post again.

I would like you have a look at a facebook page I set up last night and click on like it. I am needing some ticks.

To much has happened in this time to write about so I will just start posting again as usual.Motivation has been hard to find during some of this time but I was a way a lot of the time as well. It is good to be home now but will be off again in a couple of months.

We spent a week with our daughter and family on Fraser Island a few weeks ago and had a wonder time. The grandchildren are growing so fast but so lovely to be with.

.

The west side of the island was clean. We fished here two days with perfect weather

This is one of the quilts I made end of last year for a black and white challenge.

I attended a day with Pauline Rodges. This is one of her quilts that I loved. It is done with fabric strips cut on bias and just looks so different using the striped fabric and a black strip down the centre of the binding .

I am back as assistant workshop coordinator at one of the quilting groups I belong to.

This is one of a set of 4 quilts I am working on for our quilt show. The cat is not my design but I love it so decided to do her/him on a piece of my sun dyed fabric.
