This and that

Saturday the 9th of September saw me at the Guild for a workshop with Gloria Loughman, we were learning applique doorways.  It was a great day, I learned heaps, it would have been good to have a second day of class to get a finish. I took a few ohotos of Glorias work

Just love the colours in the Sydney Harbour Bridge quilt, Gloria made that one after seeing the Vivid Festival up there.

This is the door way I was working on

This is Glorias quilt that we are working from.

Some happy quilters busy working away

I had to rush home after the class as hubby was taking me to the airport, we had dinner, he went home and I stayed in a hotel so I could be up at 4am to get over and checked in to fly to NZ. My mother, who has just turned 92 needs help at home, she does not want it but needs it, so we had a visit from an assessor, visit to the doctor for a memory test and there is more to come next week.

I had a wonderful day out to Tirau  on Wednesday and met up with Julie for lunch and a chat, we are going thru similar mother things. It was lovely to see her, I have photos but they are on the camera and will come later.

I have run away for the weekend to Auckland to visit Jenny

I stopped at a road side park to look for a geocache, this place is where you get the first glimpse of the Tauranga Harbour, always a sign to me that home was not far away.

This carving is on the edge of the park.

This is the view from Jennys deck

Her mad seagull has settled in too!!

Must away, conversations to be had.

Happy sewing.
