Busy day

Today I decided I HAD to get some things done,,,so I took the Supervisor for a walk, he had a swim and a slightly longer walk, which meant there were lots of new and different smells to be checked out!! When we got back we did a little gardening, then had breakfast (I was a bit back to front this morning!!) then I got on to some letter writing that had been neglected and then decided to make another block for the Sylvia's  Bridal Sampler Quilt...I decided ages ago I would make one block a week...that has not happened, but today was the day!!

first I made this block, Birds In the Air, I was so excited that it came out at the right measurement that I decided to make another!!

this is Contrary Wife and it also came out the correct size!! Happy day for me!! I am now up to 19 blocks I think, many more to go, but hopefully I am back on track now.

Then I decided to wander down to the local Yacht Club, they had a jazz band playing, there were a lot of people there so I listened for a while and then came back home.

I thought I would make a few more book marks for the Geelong Quilt In Day at the Quilt which is coming up next month

There are now a total of 34 book marks so that can be my contribution. 

Now I think I am off to have a soak in the bath before fish and chips for dinner!!

Happy sewing.

Walkabout

Today I took the Supervisor for a morning walk , then came home and got ready for sit and sew here at St Leonards...then decided to walk down to the shopping centre, which is about 2km.

It was a beautiful morning for a walk

the pelicans arrived as I was walking past

in large numbers!! One of the fishermen said they tried not to feed them as they became lazy and didn't fish for themselves...he also said he had seen a pelican take a Chihuahua dog one day and also a bit pelican snatched a fish from a child and cut the child's arm with the point on the end of its beak ...not so sure I like them as much now!!!

Down at the Community space Lynda was showing her beautiful quilt for her grand daughter in Ireland, it has lots of family photos on it.

Mary was busy working on a quilt for a friends 60th birthday which is coming up soon.

Still was a beautiful day on the way home, there was even a couple of ladies venturing in for a swim!!

I spied a dinosaur near the camping ground!!! 

checked out the view from near us before heading home.

This afternoon I made a few more bookmarks for the Guild

and put together the backing for the Dignity quilt. Loos like we might get a change of weather soon, the sky is gray and it is very windy. There is corned beef ready in the crock pot so I had better go and do some veges!!

Happy sewing.
