Well Jenny has been and gone and we have stitched and crocheted (is that even a word??) and finished 10 KOGO blankets which have been delivered to the chemist for delivery to KOGO. Phew!
I have missed one somehow but you get the gist. This lot went together well, some look better than others but I am sure the people they go to will be very happy with them and the warmth they provide.
this was how I was most evenings, sitting across from Jenny.
We had lunch out at Van Loons, my fav lunch place
We went with Mary, a Bellerine Quilter, it was a cold and wet day but we were given blankets and there was a heater on nearby, we were in the Atrium so a little open to the elements.
Jenny is taking home the red work quilt top I was given, so a backing was put together
a local quilter will be doing it for Jenny and now it can be double sided.
The view from my morning walk.
The Geelong Guild held their Quilt In last Saturday, they had a crowd of 292 people, we had a very good day
Knitter and quilter together
The speaker was Tania Tanti, her work was amazing, modern and quite different, some even had parts that moved when she adapted them to her computer programme. She was a wonderful speaker, she has had many issues with her health over the last few years, she was booked for last year but had just had surgery and so couldn't come. This year she had another surgery 10 days before the Quilt In but made it to see us with the support of her husband. She had everyone enthralled.
We have had a few visits from this young man, golf was played in amongst the mushrooms in the back yard, he wanted to wear a glove but eventually decided his grandfathers gardening glove was too big and not helpful to his game 😀
I had a dentist appointment in Drysdale so went over a bit earlier and had a walk in the foggy drizzle around the small lake there
there were lots of cobwebs in the trees, they showed up well with the moisture on them
this is out of order, the pelicans down at the boat launching ramp waiting for the fishing people to return
back at Drysdale and another cobweb, luckily I didn't see any spiders.
OK I think that is enough from me and it is me all caught up!
I am off now to get the fish and chips for dinner.
Happy stitching.

A wonderful catch up post Sue - gosh you & Jenny sure did knit & crochet up a storm - some wonderful blankets created there. That is a lovely photo of you both. Finn is growing up fast & looks like a real young boy in that photo. He obviously has a great imagination. Love the cobweb & pelican pics Sue. xx
ReplyDeleteYou had a busy few days with your crochet - nice to work along with a friend. Lots happening as always on your patch. xx
ReplyDeleteI love all the individual looks of the blankets. Well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. You've been busy as usual
A great catch up Sue. You've fitted a lot of things into a short time. That was a big crowd at the Quilt In.
ReplyDeleteI’m amazed you had almost 300 at the Quilt in! Finn is interested in so many things.
ReplyDeleteWell done to Jenny and you making all the blankets. They definitely be loved by the recipients...
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge group at your Quilt In.
Your young man is getting so big.
Great spider web photos and of the pelicans...
The rugs all look lovely and cozy.
ReplyDeleteMy that is a lot of Quilter's all in one place.
Lovely catch up.
Wow, all the gorgeous colours in your blankets! Love the catchup photos too! ooh pelicans!
ReplyDeleteA great turnout of quilters. Love the raindrops on the spider webs...so delicate. You two did an amazing job with the blankets.
ReplyDeleteGood on you and Jenny for getting all those blankets done I am sure they will be appreciated in the coming months. I am jealous that you saw all of Tania's work I did a class with her in March but only saw a few pieces but they were gorgeous
ReplyDeleteTen is a lot, even with a partner.
