An update of my progress on the Gardener's Journal Quilt by Anni Downes of Hatched and Patched...
I had finished stitching Block A and had started to piece it the night before I broke my arm...
Still going to the physio...shoulder won't fully function for 12 months...a long long process!!!
However getting back into using the sewing machine now (Nina) and hope to finish it this week...yay!!!
Progress on Block B...Smell the Roses...
On the way to celebrate Mum's 80th birthday last week we stopped off at one of my favourite towns...Bowral...always have a cuppa there and go to a lovely shop called My Place specializing in Moda fabrics amongst other gorgeousness...
I saw this cute little quilt hanging there together with a kit next to it and it was an instant purchase for me!!!
The quilt is called Hopscotch Baby by Bunny Hill designs...
I thought it was just beautiful...all pretty and pink and chocolatey...not at all like me LOL!!!
We had a quick wander through Corbett Gardens...
Now here is a very very special home dear to my heart...The Corbett Gardens Guest House which my beautiful Nanna/Vecmamin used to have...
With my family back in the early 60's...Mum with my 2 small sisters...me and my brother with my brothers's godfather next to him...and Nanna in the background with my step grandfather...
And I'm sooo excited...after looking for it since 1994 whenever we were up that way I think I have found it!!! Look at the left hand step above...then at the right hand step in the family pic...very very similar...My Heart jumped when I spotted it and the road looked familiar...(perhaps a sign) a young girl skipping up that same road came to mind...and I can't stop thinking about it...More research needs to be done!!!
