Today , the 26th January is Australia Day. It's about celebrating the fact that we live in the 'lucky country'. I came to Australia in 1966 and I was amazed at how big and blue the sky could be without a cloud in sight. I still love those days, when the sun is out, the washing on the line dries in 20mins and the magpies strut across the lawn as if they own it.
I've been sewing a bit more of my BOM. Now come the hexies in the corners.
and one more Oak Leaf block.

Those are both beautiful appliques, love how the quilt looks with the new border around the flowers.

Dorothy, your blocks are beautiful as usual. Happy Australia Day.
The broderie perse center is so pretty. You found some wonderful fabric to create it with.
Happy Australia Day, Dorothy. Australia sounds like a beautiful place. Your version of the center of the Di Ford BOM is very striking. I love the fabrics you have chosen. Wonderful cheddar Oak Leaf block, too. Your applique is impeccable.
Your medallion center is so beautiful. Can't wait to see more.
Such nice broderie perse in your medallion center.
Happy belated Australia Day! Where did you move from Dorothy? Your two blocks are pretty darn amazing!!
