Here is a closer view of the little stitcheries (in the corners). These finish at 1 inch square, and were so quick but such fun to stitch.
Our son, "Dunx" headed back to Sydney yesterday, while his family have stayed behind. They are building a house about 45 min drive from us, and Sammy will start school there in a week's time. Dunx will be at sea for a lot of his time, so this was the decided living arrangement for them until he completes his time in the Navy. It will be lovely to have another lot of Grandies living close by and Dunx will travel up when he has the opportunity. I think the road between Brisbane and Sydney will be well travelled by them this year.

Miniature embroideries - that's a seriously COOL idea for blinging a quilt - and it would be fun to pick patterns that would match the quilt itself (either by theme, or by colour). Brilliant! Congrats on such a pretty UFO finish!
Congrats on the kids moving nearby - that's always great news for grands!

I love your happiness about the family constructing a house not far from you. We are parents with grandies far away..... I must indulge in your quilt the tiny squares. Do they have open borders? I am a little handicapped with internet - not connected - only once a day for an hour.
Good, that you could finish an UFO - you can be proud.
What a lovely quilt, such sweet little embroideries. Great news about your family, I'm sure you can't wait xx
What a wonderful quilt. I love it.
