A Quilt For Billie

I realised I hadn't shared my finished baby quilt. 

It was made for our newest member of the family, Billie. 

I've called it "Scrumptious" as I used a charm pack of Scrumptious 

by Bonnie and Camille. I added other B&C fabrics so there are no two 

prints the same as I had enough different ones to avoid duplication. 

The photo doesn't really show the colours very well.

In February 2018 my great nephew Darcy was born with heart problems. 

After putting up a great fight for 167 days, 

Darcy grew his angel wings on 4th August 2018. 

This is big sister Thea, introducing her and Darcy's baby sister. 

Billie Darcy Mae, born 8th August 2019.

Premiers!

WOW! What a day. 

Saturday saw Nelson's team win the 

Northern Football Netball League 2019 Division 1 Grand Final. 

It was both exciting and stressful watching the game. 

In the end they won by 8 points.

 Team Nelson!

 Pa would have been so proud of Nelson. 

I'm sure he was watching from above.

 Proud brothers.

 That smile hasn't left his face.

Back at the club rooms to celebrate.

Onto "Silly Sunday". 

Nelson's team mate, Ferg, is also a MacDonald. 

So the two of them decided to have a McDonalds theme. 

Now you know my project last week.

This photo was submitted to the "Mad Monday" 

Facebook page although it's now been taken down. 

Perhaps they have to pay McDonalds royalties!

Friday Night Sew-In

Friday saw me working on Nelson and his mate's costumes for 

"Silly Sunday" after playing the Grand Final yesterday. 

I'll do a special post tomorrow all about the 

football match and Silly Sunday. 

Let me just say "Winners are Grinners"! LOL!

Thank you to Wendy for being such a lovely hostess.

You can see what others got up to here.

September FNWF and Off to the Grand Final!

I had a lovely evening stitching my next block 

of Jenny's Phyllis May's Kitchen. 

Hopefully, I'll get some more done this afternoon.

Thank you to the lovely Chez for hosting us. 

You can see what the others got up to here.

Saturday morning Nelson played in the Second Semi Final. 

Coming back from 16 points down at half time they won by 10 points! 

So that means they go straight to the Grand Final in two weeks 

(they have a break next week while the Preliminary Final is played). 

So exciting!

OPAM For August And Some Stitching

 One finish for August. Remi's quilt.

 Thanks to Kris for keeping us inspired.

I'm slowly making progress on my Phyllis May's Kitchen by Jenny of Elefantz. 

My version is called "Lillian Elizabeth's Kitchen" after my Grandmother.

Block 2

I just love this block!
