With the Australian Tennis Open in full swing,
 |
| Azarenka warming up this morning |
there is little time for sewing....
But I thought some of my followers might enjoy a
snapshot of my last few days....
This is a mural at Margaret Court Arena...

made up of photographs from..
who knows where?
I have been playing with this pretty "Glitter" block,
from Jen Kingwell's book "Quilt Lovely".
This array of fabric and beads will be used for my
"Four-in-Art" project due on 1st February.

The theme is colour, with the sub-theme of
microscopic!
I spied this 'Double Wedding' patterned vase in a gift
shop recently.
It seems quilting patterns are everywhere!
And my son and daughter-in-law arrived home
from the States,
with a couple of beautiful gifts for me!
Now what to make from this pretty bundle?
Happy days!

I've been thinking of you when I saw the first reports about the Australian Open on TV! It must be so wonderful to be there and help at such a wonderful sports event!
The glitter block looks great, I love the fabrics you've chosen. And I'm very excited what your art project will look like!
Have fun with the new fabrics - what a wonderful gift!
That mural is amazing. Would love to see it in person, but unfortunately probably not gonna happen. The tournament at Indian Wells is much closer to where I live, but I've not been there either. Coverage on TV is so good and is easy for my budget. However, seeing Roger play in person would be priceless.
I hope you are enjoying the tennis. It looks like some fun quilting is happening too.
I subscribe to a lot of blogs but your blog is one of a few that I always can't wait to read. Your work is always so lovely.
That's a gorgeous pile of fabric - thinking about what to turn it into will give you something to do during the breaks in the tennis!
I was lucky enought to watch Australian open finals in Melbourne last year :) It was super cool !!! The glitter block looks good. It's great pattern!
Wow that mural is amazing, wonder how long it took to make.
Nice to see your son again I bet, lovely pile of goodies from Purl.
I forgot you volunteered at the tennis. I've been watching 12 hours a day! It starts at 1pm here, and I usually tear myself away at midnight to go to bed. I think it was 5-3 in the Ferrer vs Hewitt match last night when I had to give in. I'm sad Lleyton lost, but he put up a huge fight last night. He's a good role model for those younger Aussie bad boys. (they need one!) I know he's your David Cup captain now.
As for the mural:
?? Andy Roddick, Roger Federer, Novak Djockivic, Raffa, Serena, ??, Maria Sharapova, ??, Justine Hennin?
Love your Glitter blocks. It's on the agenda after My Small World gets finished.
I'm not a sports fan so I would never have seen it without your post. Thank you so much.
That mural is amazing. I am fascinated by how that is done with all those photos.
Glad the weather is a little cooler for you now at the tennis.
And I am pleased to see you have had some sewing time. Lovely.
What a beautiful bundle of fabric. I find pictures using a series of photographs fascinating. My brother-in-law used to work at a science museum in Minnesota, and they made a picture of the outside of the museum from smaller photos of people who worked there and lots of behind-the-scenes photos. He was in the photo quite a few times. I LOVE looking at it.
It's good to know they shop at the right places! Anthropologie and Purl....you just can't get much better. That mural is amazing! Like the pixelated quilts. I could never wrap my brain around them, but they are fabulous!
Those Glitter blocks are quite impressive (I love anything Jen Kingwell) and the Christmas gifts are the best - how thoughtful! Cannot wait to see your Feb. 1 Four-in-art reveal!
The book "Quilt Lovely" should be in my mailbox by Monday, and I can't wait! You'll have to clear a half hour of your schedule so we can Skype about it. I think it's so neat that you work at the Open. And, that your son/DIL brought you back gifts from Purl Soho. It seems everyone in the world likes to go to NYC but me! Guess they missed the great snowstorm there - Snowzilla.
Love your greens for the Four in Art. Color is a good theme. The bundle from Pearl Soho is lovely too.
I always think of you when the tennis season comes around to Melbourne again!! That bundle is gorgeous!
Looks like lots of fun in your world.
What a great vase find!
Go Susan! (on the tennis aspect) But also looks like you have a few fun things going for you as well, with the Purl Soho bundle and the sweet S and oh my-those beads and fabrics for our Four-in-Art. Can't wait to see what you'll be doing with those. Love the Kingwell block--it will be beautiful no matter what you do, as everything you do is lovely. Have fun at the Open!
OOOOOOh!!! Andy Murray is in the final! Give him a wave from me if you are in the vicinity:-)
