Flat Stanley has come for the US for a short visit, he got to see the smoke haze sky on the weekend! And not much else!
Our first meeting back for the year at Bellarine Quilters, we were organised to make Cool Neckties for the firies. We had a good turnout and everyone was busy
By 3pm we had made 110. Since then the CFA has said they are not approved to be worn by CFA people so our group are trying to find somewhere else to send them. We originally had CFA approval from a local group and they asked for 10,000. so production, for the moment has ceased.
Yesterday afternoon we took Flat Stanley to Jirrahlinga Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary over in Barwon Heads.
Two Tawny Frog Mouths hiding in plain sight! Love these birds.
Flat Stanley met a 10 month old wombat who had a nibble on Flat Stanely's hand!! (Both wombat and Flat Stanley were unharmed!)
We saw some beautiful sleepy koalas
These two corellas ,I think, must have been someones pets, they were very friendly and said hello many times.
Another sleepy koala, this one was 20 months old, we were not allowed to touch it as it could pick up illness from us easily.
This wombat was sound asleep in his home away from home.
This guy put on a show for us.
At home today I have done 3 load's of washing, one is still waiting to be hung out, had a walk, watched the emergency helicopter land on the park area over the road, apparently someone had a heart attack while walking down Edwards Point, hopefully they are ok.
Then I cut the remains of the owl sheet up into blocks and also some left over wadding ready for quilt as you go blocks.
Now I had better go and hang out the washing and get back to cutting.
Happy stitching.
