Some odd looking body parts have started appearing in The Palace —
 |
| An ear perhaps? |
 |
| Maybe a nose? |
 |
| Definitely an eye (albeit incomplete) |
 |
| An interesting assortment of body bits. |
This is going to be an awesome cat...and quite a big one too. We're allowed to share our progress of this as Juliet has been talking about this latest design on Instagram. She has high hopes of doing a sewalong next year. I'm loving it a lot. You can see more *here*.
In the top of the previous photo I realised you can just see some fruit I harvested today —
I realised yesterday this wee bunch was starting to ripen. And decided to cut it before the birds find it.

| I used the little white chair and my sister had the cane chair when we were kiddos - they don't build them like this anymore! |
'til next time,
happy stitches,
Wow that is going to be a large piece. Oh the bananas are so cute as well as the kiddos. There is a tiny chair that my great grandfather made his adopted daughter in the 1900 that we still own. The kids rocking chair that was mine when I was little is still around too.
ReplyDeletewow Bananas! I didn't think you lived in an area of New Zealand that grew bananas! Do you live in the northern part of the country
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bananas!!! Your little cuties are the best, though!!!
ReplyDeleteJulie's patterns are amazing, and you always do such a good job with them.
ReplyDeleteVery cool to grow your own bananas!
That is such a sweet shot of the girls on your chairs from your youth.
I bet your bananas taste good...… you are so good with your paper piecing... looking forward to seeing your cat come to life. Yes, things aren't made like they were.... but so much is thrown away nowadays.... those little girls must be a lot of fun to have around... chatter, chatter....

You're doing a great job posting each day..
ReplyDeleteWill be good to see the cat block come together.
Beaut those bananas will taste nice.
Cute photo of the wee ones who do grow too fast.
Lovely to still have the special chairs..
I am envious of your banana tree. How fun it would be to just walk outside and pick some. I'm sure they taste much better than the ones we buy at the store. Your paper piecing looks great. Will be anxious to see the "cat" when it is completed.
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be a very interesting cat. I will wait for the reveal.
ReplyDeleteDelicious bananas.
Love seeing those cuties using chairs from your childhood. That is special.
Love the colours of the fabrics in your pattern testing - a huge eye - Im looking forward to seeing your finish!
ReplyDeleteLucky you having your own bananas growing in the garden, probably it would be too humid down here for them., I always think the flower is a beauty.
Your paper piecing looks interesting, must pop over to Instagram and have a nosey. Love the colours you have chosen. Those bananas look wonderful, well done on getting them before the birds. My goodness the little are growing fast, lovely to use the furniture you used as a child .
