Yesterday

I went back into Geelong to complete the tests I needed done, I went early (yep did not allow myself to read the book I am reading over breakfast) so I got a  parking space across the road from the pathology place, no parking fee as Geelong Council are not charging while the virus is with us, no way of keeping the machines clean I guess. So that done I headed to the hospital and got a park half a block away (yay for getting in earlier!) . I went into the hospital had my temp taken, all good and was sent to the reception desk, the reception lady sent me back to the temp taker to get a visitors sticker and off I went to level 5 to deliver the quilts to Belinda. After a very quick chat I headed back out and back to the car and home, I had to be home quickly as I have a very important meeting at 11am!
Yes a sit and chat meet up with these lovely ladies

Fiona, Michelle, Maria and myself met up for a catch up and boy the morning zipped by very quickly. It was lovely to see and chat with these clever ladies.

Fiona wore her special "high tea with the ladies"hat and looked very glam!! Maria had to leave us as she had an appointment, then it was (late) lunch time so I signed off to. Thank you for organising this Fiona, I had a great time. Note to self, do not talk when taking the photo!! 😁

I got a bit of stitching done on the Old Time Kaleidoscope block, more was done in the evening, football was on, so I retreated to the sewing room!

I also got this quilt top together, very simple, it is from fabrics Ingrid sent me. Beautiful batiks.

I finished this book this morning, I saw it months ago on Leanne's blog. It is about the walking trail from the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South Island, walked by a woman from Melbourne. Very inspiring, having said that I could never do it, but it was a great read. I had it on reserve at the library and now that it is open again, things I have reserved are slowly coming through.

My walk this morning took me along the road

down thru the houses, I heard these women coming before I saw them, they are a bike riding group based in Port Arlington.

A huge container ship was making its way along the other side of the bay

I know they are balanced well but they amaze me that they don't tip over.

Yesterday I made this weeks Anthology block, the easiest I could find in the book! I was very tired.

Now  I am off to decide which block to make from Sylvia's Bridal Sampler, the challenge was due yesterday. I looked up my blog books and found I started this in 2015...along with Fiona who was doing it with a group up her way. Best I had better get on with it!!

Have a wonderful day.
