Sunday morning Flat Stanley and I walked along the beach, we saw the pelicans at the boat ramp
the fishermen were packing up their fish, no more food for these pelicans from them.
They moved further down the beach to the camping ground, where a man was cleaning his fish
the lady stood guard, the pelicans edged closer and closer!! They did end up getting a feed.
I thought I had made all the blocks I needed for the Traffic Jam quilt, got them ready to sew together and realised I was one short!!!!
I had to rummage in the scrap bag to find enough gray to make the last block
Phew got it done. This is a January sew along with Pat Sloan.
Flat Stanley enjoyed Sunday dinner.
The quilt top is done as far as I can, I have run out of gray. Might go to Lizzie's quilt shop next time I am in Geelong and see if she has any more.
Ingrid sent me her two finished quilts, this one has Advent challenge blocks,
this one is the Traffic Jam pattern. Both will go to the SJOG oncology ward. They are both beautiful.
This photo is around the wrong way but here is my Advent Challenge quilt finished, this will also go to the hospital.
Flat Stanley and I went to the library bus this morning
I think I may have asked for a few to many books!! Lots of reading ahead of me.
We have had a day of smokey haze and are due for another one tomorrow, I hope all the people in the fire areas are safe. Lots of work ahead clearing and rebuilding.
I am off to sort dinner, it smells nearly ready,
Happy stitching.
Gee Flat Stanley sure is having a great time at your place and going on many adventures...
ReplyDeleteYou've been very busy with your sewing projects as well.
Sure is a big pile of books. How long do you get to read them all?

Flat Stanley won't want to go home
ReplyDeleteI reckon Flat Stanley is sleeping well at nights after his busy days with you. I love your Traffic Jam quilt. Enjoy your reading.
ReplyDeleteNice visiting with you... good luck with all those books...xox
ReplyDeleteSue - it gives me such a thrill to see Flat Stanley in your environment, and to know that just a few weeks ago I held him in my hands! Thanks again for showing him your world.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a good idea to include the people in the photo of the pelicans - the birds are MASSIVE!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your week.
I am sure you made all the blocks for Traffic Jam. There is a naughty block hiding somewhere you cannot see this minute. When it appears (oh yest it will), you will wonder and then have that AHA moment. Ask me how I know :-D
ReplyDeleteThe hospital is blessed to have you as their quilty warrior!!!
Oh, that Flat Stanley! He sure gets around! We did Flat Stanley when I was a teacher. Such fun! Flat Stanley also visited San Antonio with us one year. https://tsflatstanley.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteGosh lots of gorgeous finishes Sue ♥♥ It's nice to see Flat Stanley is still enjoying his holiday with you :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great variety of fun Stanley is having at your house! It was so lovely to see some Advent challenge block quilts! Thanks for sharing the photos.
