Hi lovely readers,

As promised, please have a look at our local quilt show that was held over the weekend.  My photos are all from my camera, and I think it performed well!

How fabulous is the car?  Many hours of hard work in that.  Most of the blocks are orphan blocks left at the clubrooms, so it was really nice to get them into something useful!

I’m having a real crisis of faith at the moment with my quilting.  I really don’t know what the problem is – I feel very much like my work just doesn’t cut it.  I wonder if it’s because of being too busy, too many irons in the fire, you know the drill.  Maybe I need to slow down with my projects, but my brain is telling me to get stuff moving, moving, moving!

Anyway.  Hope you enjoyed our quilt show, I did manage to get most of the quilts photographed, though some slipped through, I realise now. 

Hopefully you’ve had an excellent weekend.  See you soon!

Grampians road trip part three

Still no time to sew (when will there ever be time to sew???) so please enjoy some more photos from my holiday.  I did warn you I took many, many photos.

Burned down cottage from a big bush fire a few years back.  There are stone chimneys dotted all over Australia.  All that remains of the early history.   The strongest part of the house, I guess.

There were all sorts of signs saying ‘don’t go out on the rocks, please’.  I guess that means to some people ‘go out on the rocks, please’.

Our quilting guild is having a quilt show today and tomorrow, and I’m just about to head in there to see how things are going.  I’ll definitely have some quilting photos for you tomorrow!
