Pleasant visit

Today we had a visit from an old neighbour, we lived next door to this lovely lady and her family for 8 years and she got me to hospital when I went into labour with number 1 son and couldn't get in touch with hubby, so she is very special to me.

we had a very happy few hours having lunch and a natter, catching up on life over the last few years

and had to have the catch up photos!!

I managed one foundation pieced block this afternoon before dinner duties called

one block down, many more to go for the Bellarine Row by Row quilt. Might get some more done tomorrow.

Happy sewing.

Birthday celebrations

Yesterday we went to the 80th birthday party of a great friend and previous neighbour. We lived next door to the Buller family for 8 years in Eltham....when I went into labour with our first son and I couldn't get hold of David, Giselle drove me to the hospital!! She is a fun loving, generous person and it was evident from the comments made at her party that she has made and kept many friends over the years she has been in Australia. I think that says it all.
