Quilting for Deb, Linda & Pascal

Hello Quilty Friends!

Did someone say it's July?? Wowzier, where did June go?

So much seems to have happened since my last post, I'm a year older, I've been away twice for bike riding trips, to a quilt retreat & the temperatures have dropped (yay!)

The first quilt was made by Deb's mother in law started as a BOM - 15 plus years ago, then four of Linda's (Linda's Blog ) quilts, three with #partyinthequiltback backings!

Pascal is a textile design student. It's the top layer, 

there are a few lighter layers of underskirts that go underneath it. 

The whole outfit is meant to look like it has been worn through the sea so the hems are

 all painted a little darker. 

As I mentioned in my previous post it was my birthday month in June, so I had a getaway with two special friends, doing what I love: Bike riding, sewing, knitting & enjoying time with good friends.

I managed to catch up with another special friend on the way home to exchange birthday presents.

I was treated to a new book & special book mark, soap, chocolate (not sure where that went 😀) & the most beautiful smelling potpourri.

 

Then no sooner had I arrived home, washed VERY muddy bikes & unpacked sewing machines etc.

 I got asked to be a female support person for a group of year 13 PE students bike packing ( all their tents, clothes & cooking in packs) in panniers for a three day 120km journey. Unfortunately we only got the first day (37km's) completed as the weather took a turn for the worse. Wet tents, sleeping bags, wind & heavy rain aren't the best combination!

Thanks for sticking around & hopefully enjoying this very eclectic blog post.
