Dad and helper! Or brother and annoying little sister!!
Heading back to the car, lovely to be seeing some sunshine.
Yesterday two more Sisters joined the family, this time with Canadian fabric from Donna.
And today I picked up the Circle quilt from Joan, of Faraway Quilting she has done an amazing job with the quilting. This quilt will go to the Oncology ward at the St John of God Hospital in Geelong.
The backing is a flannel sheet, so the quilt is beautifully soft.
I am linking up with Soma at Whims and Fancies for her Wandering Camera post.
Time to sort some dinner.
Happy days.
How lovely to be near a beach, and I love those fantastic figures. How sad that people have defaced them with graffiti, it's the same here. Some mindless idiots just show no respect. Your new 'sisters' are fabulous, and I love the circle quilt, what a treasure, and I hope it will be a big comfort for those sick people. Have a wonderful day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteOh these Gollards? are gorgeous My favourite is the dad with helper. That Quilt is beautiful too. I found out that Geelong is in Australia but guess you are from NZ
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun beach! The new sisters are great.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun those bollards are...shame on the graffiti "artists"!
ReplyDeleteGreat work on your quilt too Sue.
Never heard of a bollard before! Your new sisters are wonderful! You did get some Canada fabric. Too bad your other friend in Canada didn’t have any to send you ~wink~. Love the circle quilt. It came out so nice and will bring much comfort to a special person at the hospital. You’re so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI love that Geelong beach front... it's been ages since I was there.... your circle quilt looks amazing.... my circles are not even together... you gave me the idea to do one...

Thank you for bringing back memories of our visit to Geelong. We've only visited once, and that was for Ulysses Rally, when the bollard of "Ol' No 1" was unveiled. we camped at the racecourse, with a few thousand others. We spent a lovely afternoon viewing all the bollards, the pier and surrounding parkland.
ReplyDeleteYou should be so pleased with how your quilt turned out and it will be much appreciated by its users.
Your sisters are going to be a veritable league of nations. I can't wait to see them come together. How many do you think you will make?
Such pretty Sisters blocks and also that Circles quilt is gorgeous. Pretty beach photos too.
ReplyDeleteI love the bollards around the pier area,
ReplyDeleteYour circle quilt looks fabulous, how generous to gift it.
Two new ladies looking smart.

Thank you for showing the bollards! I love that idea, and I would never have seen it but for you. The Sisters look wonderful. You must be quick with them now. I will love seeing that quilt come together eventually.
