April Showers Quilt and April 2018

Back in April I finished this Quilt named April Showers for my DD

the back, all umbrellas

I had some blocks leftover so I made a little bag to put it in

This Quilt was such a joy to make!!!

I obtained permission from birdsnest which is a clothing store in the Alpine Village of Cooma in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales to photograph the Quilt on the red bike out the front

I had a Birthday and JoJo make a beaded Eiffel Tower for me on a white tile

Good Job JoJo

I even get to make my own cake on my Birthday lol

This little chook was part of a Quilt for Chookyblue

My Chooky is on the second row number 6

Whilst I was working on the Quilt on a Saturday evening My Armchair brought in a glass of red wine for me

And check this out

I saw this on the net

a perfect drink holder on the sewing table lol!!!

Whilst driving around in the Mountains I saw this Pie Shop at Nimmitabel

Mountain scenery on the way  home

and back at the beach

Its going to be a challenge to leave here if we do but hey maybe we are ready for a new adventure!!!

~OPAM (One Project A Month) November 2017, Daysail

Running a bit late here with my OPAM but all good......

Been not well with what we think is an allergic cough (together with ear problems) continuously (quite debilitating) especially when I eat but all will be investigated but the suspect is Low Altitude and Air Pressure.......

Cant believe this as I always had a dream to live by the beach but looks like its not meant to be

Time will tell........

Also lots of Meetings for JoJo's NDIS plan.......phew, so much to sort out and organize!!!!!!

This Quilt I called Daysail after the same name as the fabric by Thimbleblossoms

Started New Years Day and completed in time for my Sister's Birthday

Mr Armchair and I thought it would be a bit of fun to go down to the Marina and get some boats into the picture to match Daysail

 Pretending it was our Berth lol

It was very windy but lots of fun

 Thank you Sweet Peg and Partner in Crime Kris for hosting OPAM again this year!!!

Let's Get Stitched...March, Hobart

Here I am back in Hobart catching up on my last post from Let's Get Stitched, Hobart 2016

Saturday morning it was off to the well known Salamanca Markets

I bought this Myrtle timber salt grinder for my DS

and saw a timber cut out bicycle

Happened upon a real live Faery Shop, all pretty and pink

I meandered up to Battery Point and saw a Ship's Wheel in an Antique Shop

Saturday night it was off to a Chinese Restaurant for dinner

Later on I had to try a Green Tea Creme Brûlée with Gold Leaf at Salamanca Square

Sunday morning it was off to the Let's Get Stitched day

'Rell was one of the surprise Guest Designers

I purchased her little kit

for this sweet little Dilly Bag

Joy teaching me to embroider roses

Caught up with Val who I made the Name Badge for

Vicki in the centre and me on the right.......the girl's name on the left just escapes me

and a group pic below

(I'm back right)

I had a wander around Constitution Dock and saw the Spiegeltent

Some dock scenes above 

This cool blackboard in one of the Pubs

You wouldn't to have had too much to drink to read this

Bad enough trying to read it as it is lol

Monday morning and it's time to leave Hobart

On board the plane

 And after some hours back here at The Bay

I had a lovely trip.....met some lovely people and hope to do it again one day!!!

 Happy Stitching......Dzintra
