Bizebe Quilts Plus

Joan H once again has finished an UFO from a few years ago, this lovely red and black quilt. I've quilted an all over loose leaf design to go with floral prints.
Things may slow down the next 3 weeks in the sewing cave, as I'm covering for a work colleague away on holiday, but I do find spending just 30 mins here and there in my sewing space, doing little tasks, helps with my mental well-being!!
Covering Whitianga and Waihi clinics means early morning starts, I get to see the sun rise on the way to work and then the sun set on the way home, so pretty, photos don't really do them justice, right?
I'm looking forward to going to the Whangamata Quilt Show this Kings Birthday weekend as well as some playtime with the grandkids coming to visit.
There wont be a post next Monday.
Stay warm, keep creating.

After a lovely weekend working on my own projects it was back to the long arm.
This pretty blue and cream top was made by Deb J, and I've quilted an all over swirly heart design called p.s. I love you.
A friend has been told many times that she is always smiling, when I saw this poem from Spike MIlligan I thought it was very appropriate.
Be happy and smile!!

Wow, what a stunner of a weekend weather wise, crisp mornings, clear blue skies and warm afternoons for ANZAC weekend. Time to remember the many service personnel of Australia and New Zealand, who served in war & conflict for our freedom. Thank you.
Last week this beautiful huge blue and cream quilt was returned to Margaret B. I've densely custom quilted, graffitti style, the background with stars and a flowing milky way which extends into the border.
Our family also celebrated our mother's 90th birthday the weekend before, with many laughs over old photos and stories of past family gatherings.
Lastly Waiuku show is on this Friday and Saturday so get along to get inspired.

Here is a beautiful and huge king size, all green quilt made by Jenny D. A fantastic way to use up all those bits of one colour fabric. On this one, I have quilted an allover meandering leaf pattern to follow the nature theme.
Sadly things have been a bit slow in the sewing studio, due to other work comittments, but am hoping to catch up soon.
Heres a fun photo of the grandsons playing in the water after the recent storm!!
Not sure where the oars are, as this old dinghy has been lying around out the back for many years!! I have threatened to put a flower garden in it, lol. The water drains away quickly once stops raining.
