Sunday afternoon we went over to Queenscliff, not always a good thing to do as weekends there are always busy! But we dropped Jenny off to look over the shops and hubby and I went off to find a geocache or two.
Our first view of the water and there was a container ship going thru the heads
we found two geocaches with time to spare so had a walk along the beach, was very pleasant there.
After picking up Jenny we followed the sound of a steam train, only to discover it was Thomas and friends weekend
Jenny tried out the big engine
Thomas and Oliver were at the station waiting to take people out for a ride
Oliver left the station in an impressive cloud of steam
the troublesome trucks were with Thomas, but were well behaved this day.
Monday was sit and sew at Bellarine
This is Rae's combination convergence, bargello, forest quilt, love the animals
this quilt was made from a printed panel found in an op shop, the centre was stained so was cut out and lots of quilting was done, and the edge added.
Today we have been into Melbourne to have lunch with #2 son
first we went to Myer and checked out the Christmas shop.....only partly set up but we still found goodies!!
After a long wait for the train to move we finally got home. There was a signal fault at one of the stations and that made EVERYTHING grind to a halt.
Jenny has been sewing together squares for a KOGO blanket
it is my job now to do a crochet edge around it.
I had better go and sort some dinner for he who is hungry, I am still full of lunch, roast beef and veges will do that to you!!
Happy stitching.
Queenscliff is always beautiful and Thomas is so much fun. Not into MYERS... KOGO blanket looks good.

ReplyDeleteThat just looks like a great day! What an interesting place you live in where you have trains and container ships, beaches and quilt guilds, Christmas shops and geocaching, all in one day! It sounds like a great life to me.
