Below is one of the greatest places on earth, Turtle Beach in Arnhem Land - unspoiled , respected and very beautiful - happy memories!
One step forward - two steps back! That's me at the moment - dear friend, Christine of Once Upon A Quilt ... is making great progress with her Icecream Quilt! Me - not going according to plan - I had a little play yesterday - didn't like it - so, it's back to the drawing board..jpg)
Too soft and gentle? - lacking oomph? - maybe! My Icecream Quilt will be lap size, so I'm also faced with juggling measurements to fit - may even be a tablecloth for my dining room!.jpg)
I'm also juggling wool for my Granny Squares - hmmm, really it is quite fun doing the trialling!.jpg)
Maybe I should stitch the binding on my Wonky Log Cabins - would be another nice finish for January!Off to a lovely local bistro for lunch today, celebrating DD Angela's birthday tomorrow!
Happy day,
Happy Australia Day Lurline! toni xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Lurline! I'd love to visit Australia one day... to dream...
ReplyDeleteA binding finish will be done in no time! 8-)
Happy stitchings!
Lovely pictures Lurline! That Australia one is so cool! Happy day to all of you way down south!
ReplyDeleteYour grannies are so pretty, and all your fabrics look luscious. I'm sure you'll figure something out that will be almost as delicious as ice cream!

ReplyDeleteLovely colours for your Granny squares.

ReplyDeletePerhaps if you add a bit of the wool shades to your soft ice cream fabrics you'lll get the oomph you're looking for. Great grannies. :o)
One thing for sure, Australia is full of some of the nicest people that I have ever met. Especially the ones in blogland.

ReplyDeleteLove the log cabins. Happy belated Australia Day. My quilt group is doing a basket block in 2 groups either flowers (Kaffe's like the fabrics you have here) or 30s. Well I signed up for 30s but I'm having 2nd thoughts. I really should be making a floral Kaffe!
ReplyDeleteTurtle Beach looks like an awesome place for a couple to spend their anniversary!
