This amazing creation was covered with embroidered plants, flowers, animals, birds, was stunning to see
Loved this cloth with old sailor tattoos, did you know sailors had a pig tattooed on one foot and a rooster on the other? Live stock were most likely to survive after a ship wreck as they were in a wooden crate, but the sailors saw them as good luck and so had the tattoo. Most sailors back in the day could not swim.
The 3D cars were amazing, they came about when she worked with people with disabilities.
I was up early one morning and saw this beautiful sunrise
I have had a few beach walks
Some prep has been happening for Baradine
I was given a heap of I Spy fabrics ( you know those ones that appear at sewing group and you can't leave them behind??)so they have been trimmed and laid out to be pinned.
The Guild have been asked to make small Christmas quilts and stocking for one of the hospitals in Geelong, they will be given to children and families who have to spend Christmas in hospital. So I thought I would make this one up.
Another project cut and ready to go, I was given this year's ago to make up for the Oncology dept, so now is the time to get it done!!
The pelicans were waiting on a fisherman to clean his fish, they always get a hand out.
I Have been stitching away at the mandelas
Are you still awake?
Tomorrow we are off to SJOG to the Parkinson's support group, they have a watercolour artist coming in to teach people with Parkinson's to paint a double coloured tulip. David will really enjoy that. I will go for a walk and take stitching and a book.....
Happy stitching.
