He had some rides
Played mini golf
By about 6.30 Fin was fast approaching his use by date, so we headed home. It was also getting cold.
I had a walk over at Portarlington and saw the resting seal near the ferry dock.
I have also completed two more blocks for the Rainbow Connection Quilters and sent them on their way
Betty has been putting the previous blocks together into a quilt top
My block is bottom left, I need to be more careful with choosing colours and following the photo I was sent.
Another local walk one tree was full of corellas
Last Tuesday we met up with Barry and Judy and had lunch at Van Loons, they were staying at Barwon Heads before heading back home. It was wonderful to be able to meet up and have a chat and enjoy the nursery, shame Judy couldn't take plants back over the border. π³
I have quilted two cot sized quilts, they need to be trimmed and bound, hopefully today.
The dog quilt is finished and sent to its new owners, sadly I forgot to take a photo!
I am off to do some sewing and trimming.
Happy stitching.

What a lovely day at the adventure park—it’s a joy to look at your photos. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe Bear's Paw blocks are beautiful.
And the quilt top Betty is sewing from the blocks looks great—though I’m sure it’s not easy to find the right fabric to bring it all together. I think collaborative projects like that are wonderful.
Warm regards, Viola
Thank you, I should have followed the picture I had and realised I needed blue corners! Betty had to put in sashings to get the blocks to play nicely together. Is great to be involved in a project like that.
DeleteThe adventure park looks very fun. You always have such great quilts in the works!
ReplyDeleteThe wood carving of the monkey in your header is truly awesome.
ReplyDeleteIf you google Thomas Dambo you can see lots more in other countries.
DeleteThe wood carving of the monkey in your header is awesome. I haven't noticed it before, but this time I'm reading blogs on the big computer. It really pops out!
ReplyDeleteMarshmallows, yum We don't really find them here. I'd love to have some to toast, and eat!

Gosh your adventure park photos are wonderful Sue & Finn is growing up so fast - I can see both his Mum & His Dad in him.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved the Bears Paw block for some reason - it was the first quilt block I ever learnt the name of because I used to make lots of bears at the time. xx
The adventure park looks like fun, so good to meet up with you both for lunch
ReplyDeleteFinn is growing so fast! These fun days out with the kids are memory makers
ReplyDeleteWow the Winter Glow even looks amazing - it looks like there was something for everyone to enjoy. Fun to see Finn enjoying it too. Lovely that you could meet with Judy and Barry; a nursey is always a nice setting for a coffee etc. You're busy on the sewing front too - great you caught the Bears Paw error in time...I've unpicked a few of them in my time.....!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to take a small person - all those lights must have been magical to him. xx
