Birthday Bash

The last quilt in my year of 50th quilts belongs to my best friend Lesley. As I write she is with me and my other three best girl friends from school having a girls birthday weekend. Lesley loves her quilt and she is already wrapped up in it, as despite it being February it is chilly here at the Aldinga scrub. And thanks to Kay for the colours!

Some ramblings

 I have been up late reading blogs and  wondering why we all do what we do. Blogs are funny things-they are personal- but not private -they can be educational,inspiring or just plain voyeuristic...... ..But for me it is place for records, remembering and documenting the fun I have sewing. I am not really fussed if it is only me reading it. What I want is the record- and the more I remember to blog the more memories I capture. And photos are good too.......

And as a reminder some photos of my summer sewing - pinning by the pool - how fabulous ping pong tables are for basting 

 And a sewing room with a view- a gorgeous Port Elliot
