Back to the quilts

With temperature in the 40s for many days, sewing took a back seat for a while.  But ....... I've more than made up for it in the last couple of weeks.  Three quilt tops done and 1 left to finish binding.

first - Candy Rose (on Emily's bed here at the moment)

Then there was 'Twinkle' a king sized quilt heading to Sherpa Tar in India soon

and now I'm working on 'Tapestry D9P' (also destined for Northern India)

2 sides bound and 2 to go

Sculptures at sunset

Managed to get back to see them before the exhibition finished.  The beach was packed at 8.00pm - not surprising as it was still 37 degrees!

Brighton Sculptures

I look forward to these every year - the exhibition finishes tomorrow and if would cool down a bit I'd love to take some more pictures at sunset.

January passed me by

The first few days were spent looking after the girls then there was  .......... Bowls - 3-4 times a week, Cricket - Test Match, ODI and 20/20 ......... TDU, ...........Tennis from Melbourne ....................Australia Day (long weekend) Mega Makers kids club and several 'official heat waves' when the temperature went above 40 for more than 3 days at a time.  A few early evenings on the beach to try to cool down were very welcome.  Hope February is a little less hectic.
