Christmas Gatherings continue

Yesterday it was the Christmas party at Bellarine Quilters, a great time was had by all.

Alison on the right and Teresa on the left organised everything, food and table decorations. Pat and Rae are in-between them.

Maria, myself and Carleen

Looking down the food table, the gf food was at this end.

First pudding,  the second was a mini Xmas pud, gone before I thought to take a photo 🤣

Karen was our superb chef, very thoughtful and competent person. 

Visiting for a photo 😁,

Photos from the tea towel challenge

my tea towel challenge, double sides table cloth for the out door table  it will not blow off, it weighs a ton!!

The winner of the challenge was Jenny

Who also made a table cloth with her tea towel as the centre piece

Pat was second with her beautifully felted and embroidered tea towel. It was a wonderful fun filled day to end the year.

Happy stitching. 

Slack week

After last week's sewing and binding frenzy I have been a bit slack in the sewing dept. All four quilts were finished and delivered to the hospital

I only took one finished photo, I am sure there are photos if the others on previous posts.

David has a new bike, a trike with a battery,  there he is disappearing into the distance 🤣

He can no longer balance on his regular bike so needed this to still get some exercise.  I have had a go up the back yard and found it really hard to steer, need more practise!! 

We have had some lovely sunny days so walking has been a pleasure

This pelican had the best spot to watch the fishermen come back in

I have visited Finn a couple of times, he is getting ready to crawl

And was ready for dinner, mashed carrots 🥕 and apple 🍎 with a side of green beans ! Looks like he is getting his 6th tooth coming through.

I got Finn some new socks, with silicon/rubber soles, he thinks they are wonderful for chewing!! 

I have been doing a little knitting, it will be for a KOGO blanket, probably will take me a long time! 

A new Christmas Tomte came home with me yesterday, he has a light inside his belly

This mess is the tea towel challenge I need to get finished. I decided to make a table cloth for outside,  it will be double sided as I have lots of tea towels to use up.

It is a beautiful sunny day today

So more gardening might happen - I did an hour and a half yesterday, gave the weeds a fright and spread some mulch. I was given 2 tomato seedlings and a cucumber plant yesterday so need to get them into the garden. Now I need to finish a letter, happy stitching.
