Over the last month....

I was on the phone chatting to a friend the other day and she asked me what have I been up to.....and I said the usual....gardening....sewing....quilting....gardening....sewing ....quilting...and working......and my friend said you should post that on your blog so we can see what you have been doing.......so here goes......

On the gardening side we had about 100sq metres of turf laid.....it has been a work in progress over the last 18 months.......before laying the turf we had to sort the drainage and build up the area with soil.....let it sit and compact and finally lay the turf.......

so here is the before....


and now....


the other area that was turfed is twice as big as this.......all the turf has taken well with lots of watering and we were lucky enough to have a few rain showers as well......

We have also installed another 5000lt water tank at the back of the Studio..... 

On the sewing side I have been working on the compass quilt from the Chris Jurd workshop...it has grown a bit




It is suppose to be finished by Wednesday week.....feeling the pressure.....

On the social side I went out to lunch the other with the ladies from the Thursday class....we went to Pomodoras at Maleny....


and then visited Colin James to have an ice cream for dessert......




we also visited Ann at Quiltopia and the Bev at Maleny Magic.....sorry no photos from the quilt shops.....

I made this pincushion for our Christmas swap........


I made a book....well I tried to make a book....my binding is not the best...needs more work....


and I baked a cheesecake....and it was as good as it looks.......


So that's what I have been up to in the last week or two......

Thanks for stopping by....until next time.......
