WIP Wednesday

My sister's quilt is finally being labelled. Her birthday was yesterday but we have a great celebration planned for this coming Saturday and I will be gifting it to her then.

I try and embroider the labels of quilts given for significant occasions and of course, I always find myself struggling to add this finishing touch to the completed quilt.

Come hell or high water, it will be complete!

And my next quilt is already sitting by my sewing machine waiting for its first stitches.

Somewhere in all of this is a Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt, a commission, to be sent off to the U.K. which is lagging behind dreadfully.  Thank goodness its new owner is not in a hurry.

Heat Wave!

All but finished my "Australian Native Animals" quilt for my Grand Daughter. I need to make a label to attach to the back of the quilt.
The border is made using Kaffe Fassett fabric.
Presently, I'm working on a Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt which originally was also for my Grand Daughter but may turn out to be my first commission.  Will keep you posted on its progress.
I'm also working on a hand pieced scrappy quilt which will be a long term project, and something to work on at night.

The temperature today, reached 39oC+, more hot weather to follow for the remainder of the week.
The house is not air conditioned so I'm not looking forward to it!
The garden suffers so much from the high temperatures but I'm amazed at how quickly my zucchini grow because of the heat and all the recent rain the local area has had.
