A large grouop of cockatoos were feeding on the side of the road one morning, eating the flower heads of the dandelions
This one was watching us from above. They are such beautiful birds.
The sunflower was in glorious bloom, there was even a bee visiting.
Not sure what this was but it was a beautiful flower.

Today I have had a lovely day stitching and chatting and lunching with some of the lovely girls from the Bellarine Quilters. Jill and Mary have signed up to do a BOM with Shiralee Stitches
Jill has finished block 1
and now is on to block 2. They both look amazing.
These flowers were in Sandies back yard, still blooming despite the heat, they are hollyhocks, stunning huh!!
More of the same.
The Supervisor gave my bags a thorough check when I got home, just to make sure I had not been with another dog!!
Finally here are the finished stars
and a stack of finished stars, might be time to sew a few together and see what they look like.
I sewed together a few of the square shapes with the soft iron on papers inside, not sure that I like them yet, but will continue on and see how we go.
I am off to sort some dinner.
Have a wonderful week.
Some lovely blocks there, beautiful flowers and those cockatoos are lovely birds but not when they wake me up dropping fruit onto the roof! They love taking one bite out of our peaches and nectarines then turfing them. Grrrr. Hope you are keeping cool.
ReplyDeleteThat sunset looks like a raging fire. It shows how hot it has been. We all survived the heat. Happy stitching.
ReplyDeleteYour stars look fabulous! How funny to see the Supervisor checking out your bags.
ReplyDeleteI love those cockatoos... we get one or two here and they call out if the seed tray is empty. It has been hot down south.... glad your cool has come in. Lovely stitching... I do like the look of your stars - they will be lovely all together...

Stunning sunset photo Sue! Hollyhocks are one of my absolute favourite flowers. Great that you had a nice time at Eve's ... a shame about the heat. Gosh that is some high temps! Have a lovely week Sue ... loving all your stars Xxx
ReplyDeleteAnother enjoyable post xx
ReplyDeleteAwesome sunset and pretty flowers, but TOO hot for me my friend.....
ReplyDeleteAlways good to get away for a little while even if it is to hotter areas.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for the air-conditioning.
Poor old supervisor, doesn't he trust you ?
The stars will look great all together.
It looks like you have enough stars there to form your own constellation - wow! I don't have a lawn with dandelions anymore, but if I did I would be asking for a cockatoo or two to come and eat them up for me! By the way, that is a STRIKING sunset photo - maybe it makes the heat wave worthwhile?
ReplyDeleteWhat a sunset and what a scorcher! I do love Basil the Bad lol! Also your furry dog detective! Looks like a gorgeous BOM. Loving your pile of stars.....even though I am NOT looking! Beautiful blooms and cockies too xx
ReplyDeleteYour pictures from Australia are beautiful. I look forward to seeing your stars come together.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I love the RSC and a lot of my larger quilts develop from this challenge. Also a lot of donation quilts.
