Holidays & Home

Hello Friends
I decided as half the year is about done an update was in order.

Its winter here and while the real icy weather hasn't quite hit we are getting more rain than is normal making the days rather bleak...perfect for quilting if one wasn't at work!

Firstly; I recently holidayed on Hamilton Island in the Whitsunday region of The Great Barrier Reef. I instantly fell in love with this idyllic paradise; Whitehaven Beach is truly magnificent, the water really is that blue and the sand the purest white! I am extremely thankful I enjoyed it above by helicopter and by the sea; with both options being essential on a trip to this region. The weather, the food, the people; everything was perfect.

I also made sure I saw the sunrise

A Dink or Two

 



 Not in time for Cuddles The Wildlife

Park but a very close view: Love our Koala's.

So beautiful to see them "at Home"

 

A Potoroo (so small and very cute)

 

And a 4.5metre (14 feet 7 inches) Saltwater Croc called this Park home

Back at home a few projects closer to completion and underway:

Irish Circles a pattern by Karen Cunningham needs its borders

The centre ring got a personal touch

 

Little Sparrow started many years ago now is back on the agenda; a Susan Smith design



 

 

This is Susan's Quilt; I have a long way to go!

 

Most recently I visited my Granddaughter Miller; she is now 4 months old & the most beautiful little treasure. She fills my heart & her Uncle Sam is pretty smitten too

And what would a post be without Angus XXX

A Bunny to Finish: I seem to have a liking for them at the moment; they are breeding :0)

 

Well that's it for now, hopefully next post will have some of JulieAnn's work: we are off on a weekend away stitching. Stay Posted!!

 

Until then

Happy Stitching
