Tuesday

I could not believe the frost this morning - it was white everywhere - and the sun was trying to peek through a little gap between the hills and the clouds - but not for long as the clouds lowered and everything went gray. The sun came out again at about 11am - was happy to see and feel it!

Gisborne park



Monday morning in the park - was frosty in places and cold but a beautiful still day and the reflections on the creek were amazing - love the blue sky we get after a frosty morning!

Craft fair


Had a great day at the Craft Fair at Jeffs Shed on Saturday - made a Lucky Japanese Owl - surprise huh!! They bring luck to the person who gives them I was told on Saturday - Hamish the Owl is made and sitting on the bench ready for a visit to the sewing group tomorrow. As usual there was lots to look at and be tempted to buy - I did weaken and but a pattern with bees on it, plus some fabric plus a beautiful blue fabric I can felt onto (when I get brave!). I found a hanger with stars on it for the owl wall quilt, wasn't looking for it but there it was!!

Isn't this a beautiful quilt?? Could imagine myself sitting by the waterfall.

Owls



Aahh that's better~ two awake owls and a wee sleepy owl who hasn't quite woken up yet!!

French Braid Quilt



The french braid quilt came back from Deep Creek Quilting - many thanks Wilma - it has been neatened off and the binding sewn on - boy what a job for me to get the final seam done!! I am so pleased with the colours and the pattern both front and back.

Owls


The owls are finished!! Yippee!! They are a little dull in this photo - think I had better take another one with the flash!

Busy weekend


I had such a productive weekend - I surprised myself!! The train quilt had some more quilting done on it - am not really happy with what I have done but will look at it for a few days and then decide what to do. At least it is slowly coming along!!
