Hi bloggy friends. How was your past week in the sewing room? Me, I mostly cut and designed.
My number 6 is to work on my Aussie/NZ quilt. I have been trying to create our Sydney experience which is pretty much Circular Quay. I have a start on Sydney Harbour Bridge. I still need to create and fuse the bottom of the bridge, pylons, and greenery. Right now it looks like city buildings or maybe even big boxes floating in the water.
I have also drafted a ferry. It is ready to paper piece once I select the fabric for it.
I still have Jo's paper pieced pattern of Storm at Sea with the little sail boat floating in the waves. I intend to add it to my harbor along with the Opera House.
This is a roughed in look at my design wall.
I cut out my Sunflower blocks for a Sew Fun Sister's BOM I am doing.
Some progress has been made on my stitchery.
My daughter sent photos of our newest family member. He is a keeper.
My 15 minutes is at 100% thus far in 2025.
Thanks, Kate, for keeping me going.
I am linking with Life in Pieces. Check out her cute 2025 button.
How cute is the newest addition to the family…….
ReplyDeleteYou’ve been busy designing and blocks will look great when you stitch them.
Great fabric chose for the sunflower 🌻 block and the Christmas stitchery is progressing nicely.

As a born and bred Sydney girl one of my favourite things was to sail on a Sydney Harbour Ferry taking in the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. There's no better harbour in the world, but then, I am a wee bit biased. Your quilt is going to be amazing. Those seals are cute. As for your tiny grandson he is so very sweet.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is going to be amazing - love all the different elements. The sunflower is looking cute and what a gorgeous young man. xx
ReplyDeleteThe new little cutie is definitely a keeper. You've got a good start on that border, you have some great blocks planned for that. Hope you are able to keep up the stitching time as the school year goes on.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter and family. I am also trying hard to get sewing with little luck. I’ll get home Friday and start. Are you doing something to do with the Opers house for Sydney
ReplyDeleteGreat progress with your Australia quilt blocks. Just darling. What a beautiful photo of your grandson. Gorgeous
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweetie! And I love the sunflower. 😍
ReplyDeleteWow! Your Sydney block looks great. You are making steady progress with that project, actually you are making steady progress on all of your projects.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo of your new grandson. I am enjoying seeing the progress on your Aus/NZ quilt, the bridge and opera house are so very Sydney!!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress. I love the aspect of the harbour bridge you are using, rather than straight on. How special to have a new grandie to love.
ReplyDeleteBeing a Sydney girl and sailed under and next to the Harbour Bridge many many times I can tell you that you have captured Sydney Harbour Bridge beautifully. What a gorgeous little bundle of joy.
ReplyDeleteHow do you get it all done?? the bridge looks great...it will all come together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet angelic picture of the little one.
