I got working on some more tractor tyres for Xavier's quilt today. These ones are all stitched down now.
And I cut out some more for the next ones —
I hope you're all doing well and your spirits are keeping up.
And I cut out some more for the next ones —
But realised I'll have to change fabrics for the last couple —
The rims will be from fabrics left over from the tractors and trucks so will be a variety of colours.
This evening I finished the first of the two 'Easter' bunnies I'm making.
A little fiddly but do-able! The pattern is a Tilda one *here*.
I tackled a hill climb I had been putting off today.
The gap in the trees is the gateway. Looks calm enough —
Once through the gate there's a bit of uphill —
And a little more —
But the view is worth the climb. The top of a hill is always a good spot to stop and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Some lovely bush on these hillsides —
And yes, a water trough in these hill paddocks - our cows are mountain cows!
I hope you're all doing well and your spirits are keeping up.
'til next time,
happy stitches,
and stay well,
Your trucks and tractors are coming along nicely.

Those tractor tyres really look fiddly, I'm sure I would have changed them to flat ones!
ReplyDeleteThe tractor tyres look great Raewyn, you are are going well with them. The bunny is very cute. That is a lot of UP on your walk, but the view is well worth the climb.
