My projects:

1. Australian Dreaming blocks in various fabric sets - chooks, waterlilies, Australian aboriginal fabrics. This was a patchwork idea in the list for 2024 that I did not even start. My inspiration for this one comes from

2. Chandelier quilt. Highlighting some of my special fabrics - waterlilies, grasses, aboriginal, music.

4. A Jacobs' Ladder quilt for Alec in eucalyptus green and cream ...  All done 👍

 

 

5. Finish Ivy's pink quilt with her.  All finished 👍

6. Little Windows #2. Another one. I love this one so much. I made this one from my strip scraps by sorting colours (brown, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) and tones (pale, rich) then creating courthouse steps blocks around leader-ender 4-patches until one dimension was trimable 6.5". Heights of each block are whatever they turned out. Lots of fun.

7. Hexies. Sandwich and bind. All finished now. 👍

8. Something with ties...

9. New Quilt for Desley - In Japanese colours - beige, blue and a touch of dark red.

10. Stephanie's Inspiration and Surrey's Shirts.
