I think this is the 5th time the Namoi River has broken it's banks since we moved here 17 months ago. There is so much water around, we have had over 80mms of rain since Friday the poor people down the end of our street and out beyond must be tired of the water. I heard one family have tresltles in the house to put the furniture onto.
We went up to the lookout yesterday to have a look, the last picture shows our house by the purple arrowso the flooding river is 2 blocks behind us.
I have finished my Churn Dash Quilt top, I'm very happy with it I used all Riley Blake fabrics and they are lovely to sew. Sewing the top up on point did my head in a bit but it's done. I thought I was alomost finished my Bronte's Star blocks until I looked at the original design (I lost my copy of the pattern when my computer died) and I saw that I had put the corner squares in the wrong plae. I was matching them with their star colour I could have left them but I would know it's wrong so I am unsewing them and fixing them up.
I joined Chooky Blue for a zoom on Saturday afternoon and continued my Smitten blocks and made the decision to go to Scrub Stitchin' next April. Yay now I just have to find a project or two, as I said to Chooky and we laughed and laughed, more like narrow it down to a project or two.
This pretty little Rose is going strong, the whole garden is thriving with the rain and then sun and then rain.
I'm hopefully off to Mudgee with Coolah Country Cottage for a sewing weekend so no more rain please. Have a wonderful week and stay safe

I'm glad that you're house hasn't been flooded, but feel for the people whose houses have been. Fingers crossed for sunshine for your weekend away.
Love your churn dash quilt. It looks excellent on point and I love the colours/fabrics you chose. Have you decided how you'll quilt it?
So sad all the flooding again> Hope you stay safe and dry.
