FAVOURITE FINISH FOR MARCH.


I'm linking up today with Cheryl from Meadow Mist Designs to join in with her new monthly linkup party.  Hopefully I'll try have something to show each month.  A bit of pushing me along I hope.

I've managed to fit a few bits'n'bobs into last month, but only one proper finish, so whilst away in Ballarat for  4 days, I took this quilt along to try and get a few really good photos and
VOILA........................... Hubby found a perfect spot for me and although "very" windy, I managed this.
Mandalay in just the right setting with similar colouring from the surrounding dry countryside, rusty gate, bluestone ruins and murky sky.
Short and sweet today, but I really wanted to join in with linkup party.  I did tell more about this quilt and a few others in the making in this post, here.  We've only been home for a few hours & I've managed two loads of washing, putting most things away & now need to feed us for tea.  The caravan clean will be tomorrow, as well as a spot of grocery shopping & picking up the car club newsletters.

Ahhhh.............. I'll need another holiday.(just kidding).
Have a good Friday all, take care & huggles,
Susan.

    That is a lovely quilt and I agree the background is just right but the grass does look very dry.
    That's the trouble with going away,there's so much to do on the return home. I hope you had a relaxing break.

      Thanks Eileen. Not quite as dry on the eastern side of Victoria, where we are, but the whole state needs good soaking rains desperately.

    Oh well done, both for the finish and for the link up. What an excellent idea to show a finish each month. Glad you are home safe. xx

    Susan, that is beautiful. It is the perfect setting. I love the colors you used in this quilt and the design. Nice finish. I'm finding that my easier projects are done and now I have to tackle the bigger ones that may take longer than a month. Thank you for your nice comment.

      Thanks Julie. I do like finding somewhere interesting to take photos, but lately it seems we've been too busy, but I'm going to find more opportunities I hope.

    That's how vacations always work, I think. There's work, work, work to make the vacation happen and then work, work, work to transition back to life as usual. Your finish is lovely -- I'm glad you were able to sneak in some quilty picture taking. : )
