Family Catch Up

It's the end of an era for Mitchell. 
Mitchell started Auskick when he was 5 years old.
After playing junior football from Under 10's 
and playing 265 games, 
Mitchell has now hung up his footy boots.
Nelson, Noel, Mitchell and Dean. 
Noel and Dean went every week to watch 
him play. I was there at his first game and 
for his last! I did go to matches over the years 
but not so much when he was playing seniors.
 
 This is the only photo I could find 
of Mitchell at Auskick. 
I'm guessing he's about 7 here as 
Austin also started when he was 5.
From our big boy to our little boy. 
Kade is now 18 months old.
Where has the time gone!
Kade is such a little cutie! 
This photo was taken last weekend 
at the Hurstbridge Wattle Festival.

A Couple More Finishes

 
I've made a second Catherine Bag from
the Tilda Vintage Indulgence Box.
After seeing the bag on my Facebook, 
my friend Jackie asked if I could make one for her. 
I used a lot of the same Tilda fabrics as they 
were in my stash. This pretty fabric worked 
 well for the back of the bag. 
It will soon be winging itself over to the UK. 
I met Jackie when she came to see her brother 
back in 2023 and we instantly became friends. 
We visited her in Yorkshire on our UK adventure. 
Dean is heading over there soon so can
hand deliver the bag to Jackie.

I also joined the Pentagon Bowl Sew A Long 
with Lauren of Molly and Mumma.
This was a fun project to work on.

A New Quilt!

 
It's been a while since I've made a large quilt. 
 I finally picked up my quilt from my 
lovely long arm quilter, Leanne.
 
My version of the Tilda Jubilee Quilt.
This is my first large applique project and 
I'm so happy with how it turned out. 
Leanne has quilted it beautifully. 
It doesn't show in the photo but the 
background is tiny light blue stars.
It is also so much prettier in person.

Tilda Vintage Indulgence Project #5

Tilly's Vintage Heart designed by 
Dawn Hay of Kitty Rose Cottage
from the Tilda Vintage Indulgence box.
So from this 
Little Box of Vintage Indulgence .........
......... to this! 
Five finished projects in one month. 
Must be a record for me.
I loved working on all of the projects and
I'm keeping them all for myself! 
It certainly was an indulgence for me 
as I wouldn't normally purchase something like this.
