It's still cold and wet, so got a little more sewing done today. More of that later.
SYDNEY
Whilst in Sydney, we had to pick our daughter up from the airport, as she flew up from Melbourne on the Friday. We'd already booked out of the motel and decided to have a walk along the foreshore of Botany Bay. This is where Captain Cook landed in 1770. Below are some photos.

It's been a busy week since we arrived home, with lots of washing, a day into Melbourne to pick up oil for Bubs, as they won't put it in the post, then on Friday DD and I went to the Melbourne Quilt Show for our girlie day out. Now it's Sunday and I'm tuckered out. Next week will be just about as busy with a Doctor and Dentist appointment, plus possibly a day to Bendigo to pick up a window for the Morris and meet DD and her family as it is school holidays over here and they plan to spend a few days up there. It's seems there is always so much to do and so little time.
Now for a little bit of quilting. Along with testing another pattern for Sue over
Quilt Times (I'll be able to show that at a later date), I've been busy trying to do some patterns along the lines of using traditional blocks in different colour ways, using them either straight or on point.

These two lots of fabric are next on the list of things to make, but I'll leave you guessing as to what. Just realised that the colours are quite similar.
All for now and hope you are all enjoying your weekend and will hopefully post again later next week.
Take care.
Susan. |
certainly good weather to be staying in and sewing!
ReplyDeleteAwww, love that pussy cat fabric. Our weather has changed too, after some lovely sunshine we've had a few days of rain, drizzle, clouds and the temperature's dropped too. Typical, we go away on Saturday, I hope the sun makes an appearance while we're away.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely photos of Botany Bay Susan. Reminds me of a song we used to sing in school it went something along the lines of 'Tooralay tooralay tooralay, we're all bound for Botany bay! brought back some lovely memories for me.
ReplyDeleteHello again Susan, you're certainly having busy times. I like the balance you've achieved in Buckeye Beauty, and look forward to seeing more of your new fabrics, especially those cute cats - happy sewing! Thank you for your message on mine, it was lovely to hear from you again - I keep getting behind with blog catch-ups too so will now have a look at what's been happening with you lately. Do have a lovely week and I hope the weather is good for you. xoJoy
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of Sydney, thanks Susan.
ReplyDeleteYour Buckeye quilt is very clever, and I love the fabrics that the cats are sitting with and look forward to seeing what you are planning for those.
Botany Bay looks like an interesting and beautiful place, I'd love to go there. The Sydney skyline is stunning. x
