Catch up and FNSI

I have had a busy week this week and nearly missed FNSI which was last night
but I did manage to get some sewing done
I had a play with some yellow hexies

and finished another hexie block for the New Hexagon Quilt.
Sandra, a friend from NZ, who now lives in Singapore came to stay for a night so we explored the bollards in Geelong and walked from one end to the other and back

we have perfected the art of the "selfie" after some very strange photos!! Sandra walks 15,000 steps a day to keep fitand we managed to meet that target by the days end.
Thursday we went to Queenscliffe and Port Lonsdale, did some caching, and then went to Jirralinga Wildlife Park in Barwon Heads
we got to pat a koala and wombat...

in fact it was fantastic for Sandra as she saw nearly all the Australian animals in one place, she was very excited!!
Then yesterday we had a visit from the lovely Ondrea and her hubby...the men folk disappeared into the man cave and we had a wonderful time talking and exchanging ideas..Ondrea brought me a beautiful present
a beautiful pincushion to add to my collection and a wash cloth and soap...thank you Ondrea, that was very nice of you and I love them!!

anda bag of fabric that Ondrea no longer wants...I have used some of the yellow for the hexies already! Perfect timing Ondrea.
Today I am off to Guild meeting so had better get my skates on!!
Happy sewing.
