Fresh Sewing Day

It is the first day of summer here, and one of the things us Aussies love in summer is cricket! So in temperatures today of over 35 deg C (95 F) my eldest son was able to score 49 runs for the local U14 cricket team! And of course I missed it all as I worked today - although I must admit being in the air conditioning today was quite pleasant as it looks like it is going to be a long hot summer. I need to make sure he drinks plenty of water tonight as the boys have 2 softball games tomorrow and it is expected to reach about 34-38 deg C again.
Anyway, in November I managed to almost finish off a long term project - my Denyse Schmidt "Daisy Mae" Swoon quilt, which has now been sent off to be quilted. Other projects this month included a couple of table runners, a pillow for the X-factor swap and a teeny granny pincushion.

  2. Phew - too hot! We are just about hitting 20 degrees here in Wellington, and that is pretty nice. Lovely projects - I bet it feels good to have your swoon quilt done and off at the quilter's.

  4. But what s with the lack of Southerly Busters in the afternoons. Enough of the days without respite from the heat. I am curious who you sent your quilt off to. You have been very busy in Nov.
