Today we all share our pride in our great country - as George Negus said on the 7pm Project last night 'Maybe not the greatest country on earth, but it is a great country'! There are lots of debates and controversies at the moment - I think it is wonderful we are able to have opinions on our country and look to the future!.jpg)
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,

Great photos Lurline! I'd love to visit Australia one day... to dream...
A 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!
Your 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!

Love the beach, is it close to the Valley of the Giants? My husand and I want to plan a trip there before we leave AM
I saw you over on another blog and thought I'd stop in and see what you were up to. Love the fabric and I'm just getting back into crochet again. I'm loving it, too. Thanks for posting those luscious granny squares. That's next for me, too. Take care, Linda

Good luck with getting the Icecream quilt fabrics right.
Lovely colours for your Granny squares.
Happy Australia Day!
Perhaps 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.
Gorgeous photos.

Happy Australia Day !!! great pictures and all your projects, you are such a busy lady!!
Love 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!
Turtle Beach looks like an awesome place for a couple to spend their anniversary!
