Sewing has been happening

I finished a KOGO blanket before we went away 

It has now been delivered to the local chemist for delivery.

I have finished my block for the Rainbow Connectiin quilters, I had a lot of trouble with the Y seams and lots of unpicking had to happen

The trimming happens when it gets to Betty, I now have the next fanric for two Bears Paw blocks for this month or  maybe next month 😳. 

I have finally finished the applique on the Under the Sea quilt, started during a class with  Kathy Doughty from Material Obcession. It was supposed to be a garden with big leaves and flowers on a black and white checked background,  but as I had the blue fabric I decided to do under the sea 🌊. 

Some of my under the sea leaves/seaweeds could have been bigger I guess but I am happy with it. Now the quilting begins!

I saw this amazing mural in Geelong last Friday, I had a quick walk before having an iron infusion and another infusion for Crohns, then a two hour wait to see if I had a reaction....wasn't expecting that! But they fed me well and made a great cuppa so no complaints from me!

I started some quilting on a quilt for my SIL's dog and managed to sew the backing in underneath at the same time. I think I was being told to stop, enough for one day. Is all unpicked and ready to go again. I made a quult for my BIL, he loves it, but the dog wants to sleep on it at night, hence this quilt can cover the other one and be a dog quilt.

I had a walk around the lake at Drysdale and spied these rabbits, not worried about me at all.

Sunrise this morning was stunning. Worth being up early for!

I am off to attempt some more quilting now, I will ensure the quilt is flat before starting 😁

Happy stitching. 

On our travels

We went to Wellington and had a look at the dam, painted at a cost of $2million I was told

The mural goes right across

The dam is low

You can abseil in the old quarry here.

I also did an Ad Lad that was about street art

In Denmark

The church door was open so I peeked in

And the vets

Heading north we stopped at Lake Muir (I think) the lake was very low

We had some company at our lunch stop

Such beautiful birds.

Then we arrived at Yallingup...I have been trying for sunset photos for three nights

I have been out geocaching and walking

Beautiful Caves House

This beach is famous amongst surfers apparently

Another attempt

Torpedo rocks to find another cache

Tonight was the best for the sunset

Tomorrow we head back to Perth and then Monday fly home. I am looking forward to being back home again. 

Happy stitching. 

More Giants

At Denmark I went to the Valley of the Giants tree top walk, I got a bit anxious as the walkway swayed under me, luckily I was mostly on my own. The trees are amazing

The trees are huge and apparently shallow rooted so the walkway keeps them safe

After the walkway I got down on the ground and followed the boardwalk

Grandma Tingle

Such beautiful colour on the bark

Sculptures were around amongst the trees, I didn't find them all

The fairy wrens are so cute, the real ones are all through the bush here.

Enough for now I think

Happy stitching.
