Time to work on a few PHD's. The top one is Angel Story by Anni Downs. This has been a work in progress for a few years. I am needle turning the blocks, so that takes some time, but what's the rush?
Next is H & F Wagtime by Lynette Anderson, this is the first block finished, this only took two years!!!!! I have needle turned this one also, but I have now decided to do raw edge applique with a blanket stitched edge. I love needle turn, but at this rate I just can't be tackling two needle turn projects. I feel I would like to get some of these projects finished, I guess I will feel like I will have some head space then.
Mmm, nice fold line there!
Can you guess where we are??????
For those bloggers over the water & aren't sure this is Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. I love Wellington, it is a city, but one with a relaxed vibe. This photo is one I took at the traffic lights in the car, it is the Beehive which is part of the parliament buildings.
The next photo is the view from the accommodation we are staying. See my earlier post of an other visit here.
Another photo from Threadbear Cottage, this is a sign on Julie's porch.
So I will enjoy my next couple of days sewing, bloggying & dreaming! I will leave you with a giggle........................
Love that Wagtime. so cute!

ReplyDeleteWill have to check out your Angel Story blocks in person one day... they look lovely. And funny that there should be permanent presses in the two years and counting dog block :0)
ReplyDeleteYour needle turn projects are great!! Slow progress is better than no progress!!! What an inspirational place you are staying in - beautiful view.
