In Melbourne and Victoria I am sure it is well known that we can have all seasons of weather in one day.
We had some spring weather that changed back to winter on the weekend and this morning we had an earthquake, I was standing near the couch when the door to the loo started creaking, then the rocking chair started rocking and the house swaying, it was a bit scary! I have felt earthquakes in NZ before now but not as strong as this, and the epicentre was many miles away from here. No damage at all just a scare! I soon got back to the day 😀. I walked down to the PO and back this morning, it was overcast but not too windy thank goodness.
So, what I have been up to the last few days
The first Minions quilt is finished
The kids are all clothed
We have had some interesting clouds going by this week
One evening I caught sight of the full moon just as it was being covered by the clouds
The Star quilt is all together and has gone to be quilted
todays Anthology blocks are done
The squirrels got me this afternoon, I found these bears already cut out, I think they came with a fabric collection I bought a few years ago, I gave them borders and now they are Santa Sacks, they need their draw string, I will get that from the hard ware shop tomorrow. They will go to Jan Mac once I finish the other Minion quilt and dress the two sloths that came home with me yesterday 😉.
I can smell dinner cooking so had better go and give it a check.
Happy stitching.
It is a bit scary when you have an earthquake.Pleased all ok..
ReplyDeleteNice Minon quilt to be sent to Jan along with cuddly toys and Santa sacks....
The Star quilt looks great..
Hey wasn't the earthquake something? Gave us quite a scare at work!
ReplyDeleteLove your star quilt, very pretty, forgot to ask last time, is it paper pieced? love the photo of the moon, something I have not mastered yet.
So happy to hear the earthquake was just a scare for you. Love your star quilt. Take care. ;^)
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake? That's scary, glad it didn't do any damage where you are. The minions quilt id fabulous, as are the others, and I love the 'kids'. The moon photo is wonderful! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI heard about the earthquake. Scary indeed. Hope there aren't too many aftershocks.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that there was no damage caused by the e/quake. That must have been scary. You have been busy in the sewing room. Cute clothes for the "kids". Great idea to use the bears as Santa Sacks. Fab photo of the moon....what camera did you use to take it.
ReplyDeleteIt's been wild in Melbourne this past couple of days. Glad you're okay.

Amazing to feel the effects so far away! Glad you are ok and no damage....scary stuff! Minions is lovely and I just love your star quilt. I love how you have put them together. Looks great! The weather has been a little wonky up here too....it was lovely shorts and teeshirts weather then dropped to 2 degrees overnight...brrr! Thankfully beautiful sunshiney days though. Beautiful moon shot xx
ReplyDeleteSue - I have felt an earthquake a couple of times ... a very odd sensation! Love the minion quilt!

ReplyDeleteEarthquakes are scary! You always have such interesting projects and wonderful finishes.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos & projects Sue - love the sloths & the Panda in their jerseys. The earthquake sounds so scary - I hate the things, Luckily we don't get them here so much in the Waikato. Have a great weekend Sue. xx
ReplyDeleteAn earthquake like that isn’t what you expect in Victoria. I’m glad there was no damage. Your star quilt looks great. You’re getting a nice little collection ready for Jan Mac.
ReplyDeleteWe certainly don't expect earthquakes in AU...glad its all OK for you guys.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of the moon - Great charity work from you.
Love the minions, as usual. When did you finish the star quilt?? That seems to have come together quickly. Good the kids won't be cold any more.
