Batik Wedding

Just tying off after finishing all the quilting - then the binding goes on.  It measure 81" square - quilted on my domestic machine - pleased I was able to do it. Made for a friend's child - their wedding was last year - so it's not all that long ago.

Red Hill Market

My great-niece & her boyfriend visited us for the weekend & while the men played golf, Jess & I went to the Red Hill Market.  Lots of lovely food, music, gifts, clothes etc etc etc.  We had brunch across the road at Arthur's at the Ithaca Bowls Club.  Food was great - lovely way to spend the morning & the weather was just a little warmer.

Eat Street Hamilton

After a drive around the Sunshine Coast, we went to see the American Frigate at Hamilton & decided to eat at Eat Street, Northshore, Hamilton.  The food was great & we would have stayed longer except for the bitterly cold wind - we Qlders are not used to such cold weather.

Take a Stitch Tuesday

I was checking out Judy Cooper's blog  http://judycooper.blogspot.com.au/ (see my side bar) and found TAST http://pintangle.com/category/take-a-stitch-tuesday/ - what a great resource for stitches - absolutely amazing. Yes, I know it's Wednesday here....
I copied a picture across from the TAST blog - first stitch is fly stitch -such wonderful ideas.  Am inspired to do more & more hand stitching

Lunch with daughter-in-law

 Don't drive passed this cafe - only open Monday to Friday.

 Food in the cafe comes straight from the garden to the plate - most of it!

Lovely mosaics all around the place.  Prices are really reasonable too.
