well.....missing in Tassie, actually!
My sister and I have been on a road trip around
Tasmania.
I took my latest quilt finish with me.
"Worries In My Pocket" had a little holiday too!
I quilted all the lines with my walking foot, even the
curvy ones!
I love how it looks on the back too!
I am gifting this to a very special person who made my
retirement a reality!
He has long admired my quilts and my Instagram
following...
He thinks having 2000+ followers is a big deal! 😄
I hope he likes purple!
While we were away we rummaged through op shops
(thrift stores to my Northern Hemisphere readers)
for doilies, vintage sheets, and even clothes!
And of course, some patchwork fabrics and wool came
home with me too!
Now it's time to make some plans for all this lot!
Happy days!

What a lot of op shop finds! Love the vintage sheets. My friend used to have a stack of those. I wish I had asked her to pass them onto me before she took them to the Charity shop! What a lot of baby quilt backings they would have made. 😢
ReplyDeletewow, didn't realise we could go that far yet. Love to see more of your travels & wonder if you spent any time just south of Hobart where we lived for a while. Your quilt is lovely & do hope the recipient likes it too. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know you've returned home safely. It was apparent from your Instagram photos that you and Helen saw some beautiful sights in Tasmania. I hope it was refreshing for both of you, and that now you're ready to return to regular activities. Forgive me for asking, but what is the design in the panel section of the purple quilt? Is that meant to be barber supplies? Or mushrooms? I can't tell. It's certainly a good-looking quilt, and I hope the fella receiving it appreciates all your work. The quilting you did is wonderful, and is well-suited to the design. It's also fun that you picked up some new-to-you old things, and new fabric. I'm sure you'll enjoy digging into your next new project.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have time in Tassie. Looks like you had a wonderful time. Certainly a great opportunity for photos.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is lovely with the amazing fabrics. And well done on the great quilting, too.
What a fun trip! Glad you are able to travel with your sister. I like that quilt, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilting on the purple quilt, nothing wrong with the walking foot quilting if it gives you what you want. It certainly offers lots of opportunity for variety.

ReplyDeleteThe photos of Worries in My Pocket are gorgeous!!! I love the back of the quilt. Yes, having 2000+ followers in Instagram is a big deal! Woohoo. Happy retirement. Enjoy your road trip. What fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the teal yarn. You will have some fun knitting that up into something lovely.
