Where has June gone?

The days are rushing by and we are now in the depth of Winter.  Its been one of the coldest for 20 years so far and we are really noticing it as our house has no central heating - just a bit of underfloor which takes the chill off the tiles in the family room.  There is no double glazing or decent insulation either - typical for most Aussie built homes sadly.

The good news is we're getting ducted gas heating fitted in a couple of weeks time.  Thankfully my craft room has a little heating but with 2 picture windows its expensive to run.  I've spend quite a few days in there recently - working hard and keeping warm.

The girls quilts are ready for making up as the tops are finished and the collection of table cloths, mats and place mats is growing daily.  A box of goodies arrived from the Missouri Quilt Company so I'm planning lots more.

Just got back from a long afternoon walk to get some fresh air.  May pop out and see if I can join the Hub Quilter's group tonight.  They meet twice a month and it would be good to get some ideas and advice.

I've almost put together 2 of the 4 place mats I'm currently making and will take them along to hand finish the binding.

The pastel fabrics are from 2 'Arboretum' Charm Packs
