Out and about

Yesterday I went up to Gisborne, driving in the rain and then the fog as I went from Bacchus Marsh to Bullengarook, was quite spooky and always in my mind is that fact that kangaroos are often on the roads there! But I arrived safely ( and late!) for a hair appt and had a great catch up with Marg and Karen. We went to Donna's place for lunch and it was lovely, then we sat in her Studio The Owlery for a cuppa and some sewing
I pinched this from Donnas blog (hope that is ok Donna) as I forgot to take a photo!! I was too busy taking photos of the kangaroos outside who have made Donna's place their home

I enjoyed watching the kangaroos in the next paddock!
We went back to Margs for dinner and then returned to Donna's for a sit and sew evening which was very enjoyable...always great to catch up with sewing friends I don't often see now we have moved.
Donna has finished her kitty quilt, the quilting is flowers and cats!! Very cute!!

I managed to sew up 3 and three quarters stars!!
Was so good to catch up with the Gisborne girls, Marg and her hubby kindly let me stay with them
Posing in the kitchen with Margaret.

I visited Tracee on the way home and got a beautiful photo of her and her gorgeous dogs Justice and Artemis, these puppies keep her busy!! 

I nearly forgot, Marg has finished her fabric mosaic of her Mum, taken from a photo when her Mum was 16 I think. It looks amazing! Well done Marg!!
I picked up Chinese on my way back thru Geelong today and I can now hear the microwave, so it must be dinner time!!
Happy sewing.
