Saying Goodbye to 2016

Phew! What a year, right? Ali at Arabesque Scissors is sharing a round up of her 2016 projects today, so be sure to head on over and take a peek at all the lovely things she made. While you're there, link up your own finishes too 😊

TGI Nearly Christmas!

It's almost Christmas and it's summer Down Under - don't worry, Alpaca picnic... Groan...

This little girl nearly made me miss my quilting deadline for TGIFF but never fear, all is under control at Quokka Quilts.

This will be my last TGIFF for a while, so I will sign out with a video from our near neighbours who will also be enjoying a warm Christmas this year...

A Gorgeous Finish!

I got a sneak peek at the gorgeous quilt Shanna is sharing today at Sparrow in Flight and you definitely want to head on over there to see it! Then be sure to link up all your finishes too :)

Tote-ally Finished!

TGIFF is staying on Canada's east coast this week, and we're going to visit Anja at Anja Quilts in Nova Scotia. She has a new tote to share, so pop on over to see it, then link up your finishes 😊

Handmade Gift Season is Here!

Happy December, everyone! I bet you've finished lots of handmade gifts lately, so link up over at Devoted Quilter, where Leanne is sharing a newly finished quilt top.

Thank Goodness it's almost Christmas

In case you're not over the Election yet, here's a parody of the John Lewis Christmas ad...



Today's TGIFF is brought to you by Leanne of Faith and Fabric....  

A Purrfect finish

Is it me or are the weeks getting faster as we approach the end of the year? Does anyone else need a helper?
   

Debbie at The Quilt Journal is our hostess again. Go and say hello, link up and link back!

A garden wedding finish

"Once upon a time a bride-to-be wanted to hold her wedding at Tree Elle Retreat as the most beautiful spot she knew… then Tree Elle came up for sale and she bought it so that other brides could have their fairy tale wedding as well."

Today's finish coincides with my brother's wedding day, and I'll be down on the very southern tip of Western Australia braving the Antarctic winds where they live for a garden wedding. November is supposedly almost summer but the forecast is 18C and rainy - let's hope that that changes. Living down in the cooler climes, a wedding quilt was in order.  
For the big reveal (let's hope the bride and groom are too busy to be trawling my blog), head over to Quokka Quilts.

Busy hands and bears...

Myra of Busy Hands is kicking off November for us... And speaking of busy hands, if you haven't been inspired by this little boy from Tasmania yet, do yourself a favour and watch this video! And then drop by and see what Myra's busy hands have been up to...

Dreaming of a Finish!

Don't dilly-dally, head on over to Busy Hands Quilts for this weeks TGIFF and congratulate Myra on achieving a dream finish!

End of a season

The last week of August marks the last week of winter for those of us Down Under... and the last week of summer for the Northerners. We've been lashed by storms and the temperature has dropped as low as (wait for it) 30F (gasp!!!) where I am (I can hear MR shivering at the horror of it). But the end of winter down here means it's time to pack up our beanies and send them north. All I can say about  it is:

The always impressive Anja is our wonderful hostess this week. Please head on over and have a look at her work!

Quilt Journal Hosting!
