PROGRESS SHOT OF NAUTICAL QUILT

So... here is what I got done yesterday:

ABOVE:  In order to get this shot I had to stand on the kitchen bench with my head banging on the ceiling!  AND I had to hold the camera up on the ceiling too... cos this quilt is really BIG!

I wanted it to fit a Queen size bed, somehow I think it's gunna fit a King sized one now.

Today I shall be making 4 blocks for those corners... thinking of appliqueing an anchor on a plain dark blue block.   And I want to add 'something' to the cream blocks in the middle too... still thinking of what that will be.

Last night's walk photo:

 ABOVE:  So funny, three of us in the exact same shoes.  This year's New Balance.  Our group Leader, Robyn C, stuck her foot in the photo cos she was wearing the same brand... and she reckoned her's should be in the photo cos they cost more!   lol

Very excited... the FINAL BIG section of the Urban Challenge has been posted, and I will be walking it on Tuesday morning.  St Kilda... a new subdivision on the east side of Cambridge, should be a nice walk.

ONWARD...

Been thinking.  The walking group's Urban Challenge is winding down, so in order to still get my 3 walks in a week, I'm going to be walking Monday/Wednesday and Friday night's at 8 pm.  It's going to be cooler then, so doable for me.

I am going to start right at the beginning of the Sections again too... and walk them in order A-R.  I will be putting that up on our group page too, so hopefully I will get some company.  If not, I will be doing it on my own.  But I will be doing it!

SHARON: No I didn't clean the ceilings while up there!  It's a stunning day here too.

I've been outside with puppies, then working on fiddly bits with the quilt.
It's amazing how LONG it takes to just do bloody fiddly bits!

I'm now at the cut out said 'fiddly bits', then I can applique them onto their corner blocks.

I've not even started the fiddly bits for the three cream blocks in the middle yet!

I'm thinking I will wait and see how the 4 corner blocks look first.

Our son Russell is due out here shortly, he's borrowing a fishing rod from us, he must be going fishing!  lol

So Russell called in and he got a cuddle with a puppy or two.  Then a group of my walking girls walked past and stopped when they saw I was outside with the puppies, so they had a cluck too.

Then I did more sewing... making good progress on the 4 corner blocks, but they are not finished yet.  There's quite a bit of work involved in them.

Gutted with the final decision re: our new government.  Disgusted in fact.  Bet Winston screwed them for everything he could and they bent over backwards and licked his arse to get into power.  Fuck MMP.  Gives all the power to the minority.  And on that note, I will not talk about it again.

Off to bed soon, I'm so tired, you have no idea!
Stew was so restless last night, he kept me awake half the night!  I might just kill him if he does it again tonight.
