Team Work... from May Your Bobbin Always Be Full


She began sewing on my Bernina

when she was 4 years young... 


She is now 10 years of age...

She came over during her Spring Break 

in April and pieced the star...





She came back over the Summer and

finished piecing the quilt top...



We will team up to complete the Quilt:


I basted it and completed the machine quilting...





She has been busy playing volleyball

and basketball...





She has quilted small projects so far,

but nothing this large...





This is the backing fabric she chose...





I completed the binding last week...

Acorn Candle Mats

 


This is an acorn coaster pattern...

I enlarged it and changed the shape a bit...





I pulled these homespun fabrics

from the cupboard...





Before too long I had an 

acorn candle mat completed...





I had a great deal of fun using these

homespun fabrics...





Trying out different color combinations...





It was hard to stop...

I just had to keep cutting them out

and stitching them together.











I rounded up a few candles

to try them on for size...

Closing the door from Quilting with Kimberly

As of today, we have closed the door to a chapter in our lives and we’re looking forward to the future. Our time in Australia has come to an end, but we’ll look back with love for the kangaroos, fondness for brilliantly-colored sunsets, some challenges, and bittersweet memories mixed in. 

Now it’s time to focus on the next chapter. 

The home we purchased in Australia was settled and sold today to a wonderful gentleman who has promised he’ll care for the Roos as we did. In fact, just this afternoon he sent us this sweet photo ...
