Sewing for gifts
Another hat that will go to another little grandson.I turned the brim up on this one but think I should fold it down. The hats are reversible too.

Back home
We went inland up to the Undara lava tubes and as far north as Cooktown then back down the coast doing some of the touristy things along the way.

Surprises
Last week I entered a couple of my quilts into the local show and was pleasantly surprised. The art quilt won 2nd place and then the small quilt came third.
The art quilt was a reminder of the boab trees in the Kimberleys when we travelled through the region on a recent trip. The small quilt is a Sue Daly Design. Titled “Field of Flowers”.

Sewing compendium
I have had this pattern for sometime and decided to make this over the holiday break. It was a little more time consuming then I had imagined but in the end I was happy with the result. It has extra pockets on the inside and lots of room to store sewing needs.
My next UFO is this Tropical Sashiko Sampler, I have slowly been making progress on it and now I can see that I will soon be able to be put it all together.

Fresh Start
This is Baileys first quilt, he is now 8 years old, better late then not at all. I gave it to him at Christmas and he was really thrilled with it and enjoyed playing "I SPY " with all the different characters and animals he could find in the blocks.
Last year I attended a workshop for this paper pieced New York Beauty. I was determined to make all the 36 blocks before Christmas which I did. It will now rest a while before I sew the blocks together and then quilt it.
