Quilt - Under Pressure at Christmas

Here is my latest finished quilt and finally getting a lot of UFOs (Unfinished objects) out of the way.

I finished this one in early September, just been a bit slow updating the blog.


This is the smaller version of the one I finished in 2016.

Here is its big brother pictured below.

I gave the smaller one a Christmas theme and its backing is Christmas fabric.




I have 2 more quilts waiting for me to finish the binding,
and 2 more on the design wall just waiting for the final borders.

I've been a bit busy over the past month working on the 2023 Kim's Christmas extravaganza.

Which is a Donsy. 
(google it).
All to be revealed soon.

Paul McCartney Concert,,, YEY!

Hello My Dear Readers.

Graham and I saw Paul McCartney live n Newcastle!

It was fantastic!

We watched a brilliant  show of his last Glastonbury concert  and  thought how wonderful he was and how disappointingly we would never get to see him live. I thought he would be to old to travel to Australia again, But here you go... Bless him.

He is so agile for an 81 year old and he still has his voice. II guess he travel's with a personal trainer , voice coach and physio. (doctor, nurse, chef etc).

Most of these photos are mine, with a couple borrowed from the web. 

We were 5 rows from the front, although the seats weren't as good as when we saw Elton. 

We were at the far edge of the stage, and further back because of the fireworks.
