A Quiet Week.
Posted on | January 26, 2024 | 7 Comments
A quiet week here on the sewing front, but extra busy with grandchildren staying over for several days.
I have been working on these blocks. Lots of pieces. I had to cut nearly 600 blues and 600 whites. That’s not bad for me as I am not always that patient. I admire those of you who make the gorgeous quilts with thousands of pieces.
In the week prior to the grandies visit I had a lengthy card making session with friends. I managed to finish these and only have the cut some shapes and stamp sentiments to make them ready to use.
Together with a group of friends I visited the McClelland Sculpture Park. We managed to catch a break in the weather to get outside and see many of the pieces.
I am ready to go back for a second visit on a fine day so I can take more time to look around.
It is the Australia Day holiday today and the men’s semi -finals are on for the Australian Open.
Plenty to see and do. Hope it’s the same for you.
Cheers, Karen

Love your blue and white blocks, that color combination never fail. Pretty cards too. Interesting sculptures, glad the weather took a break for you to admire the garden.
That last piece of art seems to defy gravity! Interesting to see these!!! Nice start on your blue & white quilt!!! Do you have a Stripology Ruler? It makes quick, easy work out of cutting out!
Loving your blue & white blocks Karen. We’ve got a lo-o-ng weekend here in NZ too, Anniversary weekend.
Even during a quiet week, you manage to have some pretty patchwork to show us! The blue and white blocks look great. I spent some time trying to work out its construction.
Those blocks are so effective…. the cutting is the hard part I think and its great to have it all done before. Those sculptures look great. Enjoy the tennis – nice way to spent time indoors out of the heat we are having…

Your blue and white blocks look interesting, I’ve been looking at them to see how they all fit together. The sculpture garden looks fun.
Your cards are wonderful!! Love the photos of the sculptures.
