has flown by. I have been quilting and making blocks this week, going to sewing group and going swimming, no wonder the days go by fast.
Anthology blocks for this week
We woke up Thursday morning to the noise of trucks and machinery
The beautiful big trees at the front gate of next door were going to be cut down. I know gum trees are bad for dropping branches and the far one dropped one a couple of months ago and took out part of the fence, but lots of birds live in there, I wonder where they will go.
One gone and onto the second one
This is what was left at the end of the first day of work, some galahs turned up not long before sunset and watched from the power lined over the road, some rainbow lorikeets came and sat on the ends of cut branches looking at what was left.
Meanwhile some Bridal sampler blocks were being made
Jack didn't visit this week thank goodness!
A little fruity number!
Friday morning the big remaining tree came down, then they went down the back of the house and cut down the last remaining big gum on the block.
This week I have quilted and bound two of Fiona's quilt tops
this was a big one, the photo does not do the colours justice
and here are the last blocks for the Schoolgirl Sampler, waiting to be sewn together.
Today I went into Geelong to see and exhibition by Rone a local man who is a well know street artist. We went to see his paintings on the old Geelong cement works a few years back, sadly they have been pulled down and are no longer there.
His art was on display at the Geelong Art Gallery, one area was set up as an old disused mansion with very haunting music being played by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra,
This was a recreation of a work Rone did in an old inner Melbourne city house before it was demolished
Part of the display, lovely old teddy. Well worth a look at this exhibition.
I think it might be G & T time, might even read a bit, I am reading a book about Doc Halliday back in the Wild West, it is really good so far.
Happy stitching.
