Nearly Spring

After weeks of rain, cold nights and grey skies (very unusual here) the wettest winter since 1930 is nearly over.  Today we had a taste of Spring and had a walk on the beach

A trip to the Art Gallery

Had a great day out last week at the art gallery in North Terrace.  A guide showed us round and made the three hours pass very quickly.

Quilt of the Month

I love Rachelle's quilt of the month patterns.

Mine looks so different as I used Vin de Jour instead of the Layer Cake by French General

I also put my diamonds in a different order so the small ones were in the middle section and the large ones forming the border.  Will have to wait for the fabric to go on sale in about 6 weeks before I can finish the border.

Whales at Basham's Beach

Had a fun day down near Victor Harbor recently.  A mother and Baby Right Whale were frolicking just 100m from the beach

Out and about

Took advantage of a few hours dry weather and sunshine to get out after all the recent heavy rain.  Thursday was a visit to Waterfall Gully and Saturday morning whale watching at Basham's beach near Port Elliot on the Fleurieu Peninsular

meanwhile  .......... at Basham's Beach

........ and also an I-Pad cover for Emily

Forget to show you the I-Pad cover.  I quilted round the little owls to make them stand out and added meandering in between

and here's the 'Victorian Batik' Jelly Roll quilt ready for some applique and borders

Over doing it ....again
