How time flies

Time seems to be constantly getting  away from me. Last weekend I went with Adam, Beth Finn and Beth's parents to Winter Glow at the Adventure Park in Wallington  near Geelong. We arrived about 4pm and had a look around,  Finn  tried out toasted marshmallows

And enjoyed them!

He had some rides

Finn  is in there with his parents!

Played mini golf

and then as the sun set the lights came on

I forgot this ride!

Finn loved that he has some control!

The water was so calm and the reflections  amazing!

I will get onto the laptop later and turn all the photos around  the right way 😁

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.

Sleeping and ignoring this tourist 😅

I have also completed two more blocks for the Rainbow Connection Quilters and sent them on their way

Two bears paws. I did have to do a little unsewing as I managed to do this

Luckily it was quickly fixed.

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. 🌳

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. 

Catching up yet again

 Time gets away on me, it does not help that I have been doing lots of reading! 😀

the flower and horse quilt and the ferret, horse, pig and dogs quilt have gone to their new home, photos to come.

the pelicans are still around down near the boat launching ramp

Shane came for an afternoon and we walked the dogs

another day recently I came across Adam and Beth when I was walking Hank, so we walked together

another Anthology block has been made

I saw and enjoyed this movie

and then  had lunch looking over the bay, the clouds were amazing

the last two days I hve been making blocks for the bookcase quilt which has been sadly neglected

a vase and flower

a messy photo but the quilt so far, I was busy sewing away last night and realised I had made a mistake and forgot to put in the brown for the shelf, so some unsewing needs to be done today.

The vest for Finn is coming along slowly, love this wool Raewyn gave me, just the arm bands to go and then sewing up.

This mess is another heap of knitted squares waiting to be made into a KOGO blanket - if I keep it in sight i.e. on the chair next to me, maybe it will get done!!

the two quilts promised earlier, it had taken me ages to find them on the phone.

That is enough for me for now

Happy stitching.

Gisborne days 3 and 4

Back home again now, binding the finished quilts and catching up with the family

Beth and Finn

Finn is nearly 4 months old now

I have had a few walks along the beach and today a bike ride

it has been beautiful weather today

back at the retreat Sue sewed the top of her quilt together and out on the first border

Carleens blocks

Maxine's quilt top, sadly we found a woops so it has gone home for some unsewing

Maria made great progress on this quilt top, the blocks look great on point

Judy was using up left over fabric in half square triangles and some of Kate's fabric for this quilt top

Maxines new quilt start

I put together some equilateral triangles blocks,  the blocks are a challenge at the Bellarine quilters

On the way home Carleen and I stopped to do an Adventure Lab in Bacchus Marsh

Love these trees

Beautiful autumn colours 

I am off to do another binding now

Happy stitching.
