November already!!

 Ok so where did October go?

I have been going to a quilt shop in Coolah, which is a 90 minute drive, which is 90 minutes of my music on the stereo as loud as I please, then the ladies in the group are lovely, friendly and very creative, a bite for lunch and then drive home. a lovely day each fortnight. I found this group on facebook they were doing a zoom class in lockdown making 6"  sampler blocks these are the ones I have done so far.

The plan is to make a few more then sash and join them altogether.




I attended a workshop locally it was a layer cake mystery quilt I am loving the colours together and I have almost finished the top. 

We got a drenching yesterday so we went for a drive around town to get a few pictures and have a look we are still exploring the area. There was a lot of water in the creeks and low lying areas.


Apparently I finally used my sewing machine for something useful (according to Dave) I sew the sides of teh shade cloth for the garden. 
The Jacarandas are in full flower I'm not sure if there is more on the trees or the ground under them. we went up to the lookout and could see purple everywhere.


I am also making a huge mess in my sewing room sewing 1 1/2' strips making an "Everything Goes" quilt pattern by These Clever Hands. I started the quilt earlier in the year and packed it away to move and found it with some batting scraps that I am joining to make a big piece for placemats.

Happy Sewing
