I've just realised it is the middle of July and I haven't posted in a while. Life has been busy around here. To start with I had some problems with my laptop - had that fixed. Had a rush job to finish off the red and white quilt that I have been showing little bits of - the baby was born a tad early, naughty little thing. But of course she is beautiful. No photos yet, but I do have one of the quilt.
Then I had to get my stuff together for a full week away at the Fibre Arts Australia Winter School. Yes, a full week with lots of fun, good food, 100+ other mad artists and not one axe murderer among them!!! Came home with (I think) a beautiful piece of work; tired; then two days to get myself together and off again to Melbourne for some quality baby sitting time while DS1 and DIL took off for a few days together.
AND then the big week just gone - my "0" birthday (pssst quietly 70) last week which was started on Sunday with the grandees and finished yesterday (Saturday) with lunch with the family at a lovely restaurant in Southgate on the Yarra River in Melbourne.
I won't make this a big posting - will try and break everything up in its right category.
So, without further ado here is the finished Red and White quilt - It is made from an alphabet panel in pinks and I added the extra red and white bits to brighten it up

Hope your special birthday was a happy one with the family. Love your baby quilt. Now, I wonder who the axe murderer was at Fibre Arts....need I ask? Welcome back to blogging, have missed your posts.

Congratulations on the big 70, Joy! I've got three years to go, and am already thinking about what I can do to celebrate :-)
Love your quilt, your blocks are beautifully stitched, and red and white always looks so fresh.
