I had a lovely Saturday afternoon with a group of very crafty ladies.. Joy from the blog Days filled with Joy, took me along and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so will look forward to going again next month.
Last Wednesday saw Hubby and I set out for Ballan, and what may you ask took us there?

Why did I need to go? I've just taken a quilt off my long-arm machine I made as a Block of the Month quilt some years ago and found that I didn't actually get the binding for it. As the colours are not available anymore and I couldn't find anything suitable in my stash, I decided to go looking for something. I finally found this, which picks up the colour of the roses in the outer border.
Peachy coloured fabric for this, below.

| To go with these I also bought this, below. I made these blocks so long ago, I can't remember the year, but am trying to finish things I found that are definitely UFO's. |

Pink and blue fabric.
Now for a couple of photos taken in the huge glasshouse in Ballarat Botanic Gardens. The begonias have been cleared to make way for chrysanthemums. They are beautiful and some so different.

| Aren't they all beautiful. |

| That is all for now and hopefully the weather will be kind tomorrow for us, as we are off to the Lake Goldsmith Steam Festival.
Have a lovely weekend all. Take care.

It was good today - got lots done :) I got home, lit the fire in the back room and did a bit of tidying up... will do some more and see if I can get Emmie G up and running tomorrow.... xxx
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good day. Those chrysanthemums are beautiful, I love that last one, such a zingy lime colour.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are all beautiful. A real feast for the eye. Sounds like you are getting lots done and enjoying the process. The "said" quilt is beautiful and I can see the border colors; the peach will look nice. Love the other blocks; they look complicated. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful chrysanthemums! I've never seen some of those varieties before, the colours are so vivid. x
ReplyDeleteStunning chrysanths. I love those very spidery ones, so exotic looking. xx
ReplyDeleteThe colors are great I like them all especially those green ones.:)
