OVERDUE POST, AGAIN!!!!!!

Well, we just seem to have been busy, busy, busy.
I now have my beloved Bernina, (Bonnie), back and have already finished piecing the baby quilt, so it is now a flimsy, waiting to go on Bubs for the quilting.  I'll show the flimsy now, and then progress reports on the quilting and binding later.

Baby quilt hanging over rollers of machine.  I had to improvise with the borders, but think it has turned out OK.

Hubby has been busy clearing out the overgrown shrubbery between the house and side fence, so we can bring our caravan home.  We needed a clear space for it, out of the way.  I forgot to take photos of the overgrown mess, but as you can see from the photos below, there was a lot that came out.  In the middle of it, was a  "HUGE"  blackberry.  Next door neighbour popped her head over the fence to say she'd asked them to clear it several times.

Most of it is to the side.

We took four of these loads to the local tip, as we haven't much space in this garden.

 Have manged to unpack all but about 2 boxes and have it all placed fairly well, especially as I sold at least six pieces of furniture, which I'm sure must have just been filled with "stuff".  Although I had a good clearout, I'm sure that there is a lot more I must sort through.
Below is a photo of what I am calling my "quilting room".  In our last house I sewed, quilted and crafted in what I called my studio, but this house being a much different configuration has sewing room and a quilting room.

This is supposed to be the formal lounge room, but  as seen from my last post, we use the large familyroom as main living are.

The other side of above with Bubs all set up and now going  I will be putting the baby quilt on hopefully some time through the week, once I have some backing fabric.  Below the picture on the far wall is my piano.  It's a lovely room, although I need much better lighting, which we will address in the future.

Now, one last photo.  I showed the view I can see from the familyroom window last week, which was just a horrible smoke haze.  Went outside through the week and this is what I can see most of the time.  I can even see it from the breakfast counter in the kitchen.

In the far distance, I can see Mt. Buninyong.  I really need a better lens for my camera, as I can see it much better than this.

Hopefully, now that we are more settled, I'll be able to post more often.  Have another post in my mind for during this week.
Have a lovely week out there in blogland and take care.
Susan.
