Day two and a party

Yesterday was a busy day sewing, I finished my log cabins and with some help from Janice got them the right way around and finished getting them into the quilt top only to have it pointed out by Kate, one block was the wrong way around

Log cabin blocks done

Lynda finished her jelly trolley race quilt

Logs added to quilt top, and yes one is the wrong  way around, it has now been unpicked and sewn back in the right way. 😄

 Janice has been making beautiful blocks, showcasing the

fabric

The table set up last night for the party

The kids all turned up and the party got under way

On the road

 today I drove from Wodonga to Gilgandra....via Gundagai...mmm yes I took a wrong turn and ended up driving around in a bit of a half circle, probably for an hour longer than I needed to , but I did see some beautiful scenery on the way, drove through a thunder storm and heavy rain, saw a beautiful sunset and finally found a morel room....had a bit of a panic there. I stopped in Dubbo and every motel room was booked, I was told to come to Gilgandra to get a room the first motel was fully booked, this one I am at initially said they were fully booked but then found they had one empty...thank goodness!

This was at one look out,  a bit hard to see but it looked like some kind of mine over the road, maybe one that is no longer active.

Thunder storm coming (not a good photo)

More of the thunder storm

Amazing clouds as I was driving along, I did stop driving to take the photo😁

Tonight I have continued sewing these wool circles, these are a secret sewing project, shhhh! 😄

Tomorrow I will be back on the road and by lunchtime I will be at Baradine, yay!

Off to do a few more stitches. 

Happt stitching.
