Up, Up and away

Yesterday we drove to Tullamarine and stayed over night.

We were on the 7th floor and had a great view.

Today we have flown to Perth,  I did some reading until the battery in the Kindle went flat, then some stitching

Still trying to get this one finished!

Perth was warm and sunny when we arrived

I had a walk to the Bell Tower

Early evening

Wonderful street art nit far from us.

The Artisans in Drysdale are having another exhibition to celebrate the flora of the Bellarine   this years topic is Fabulous Fungi. I made a piece from some photos I took while out walking, I was very happy the ideas in my head came out in fabric! It doesn't always work that way 😁

Jill from Bellarine Quilters is kindly going to drop my and David's entries in as we are away on that day.

I wanted a 3D effect and after a lot umming and placing and moving around I was happy. The poor green leaf here got tucked into the vacuum cleaner 🥲, it looks a little weathered! 

Tomorrow I am off to Rottnest Island, hopefully to see a Quokka or three.  So far the ferry is running, last year it was cancelled because of high winds.

I had better get sorted. 

Happy stitching. 

Tiki tour day 9- final day

Today we started out in Albury, visited a quilt shop

Some retail therapy was done there, was an amazing shop

Then we walked along the street

And found a shop with Angel wings in the window.

We then walked to Lincraft and had a look there.

Into the car and headed for 

Ned Kelly country,  we got a stamp at the Information centre

From there we headed for Benella, but I somehow managed to put the wrong info in the google maps and we were driving down country dirt roads

And we ended up in Lurg!!!

There is NOTHING at Lurge!! How we ended up coming here I have no idea! Luckily we were not too far from Benalla.....🤪 🙄😬

Another stamp at the info centre, we were told about a church at Goorambat in amongst the painted silos, it was only 15 mins away so off we went and it was so worth it.

This is at the far end of the church and so beautiful.

Outside the church.

From there we were going to head to Euroa but the Info centre was closed so we headed straight for Craigeburn north of Tullamarine and found another quilt shop just before she closed. More retail therapy happened there 🤭

On the way to the airport we saw the sun going down

We made it to the hotel and are checked in, Raewyn is packing her bags before we head downstairs for dinner

Tomorrow I drive off home.

Happy stitching.
