We always remember those that we love and have lost but sometimes there comes a special day ...... I was back in Bundanoon for the 14th October - it would have been Dad's 101st birthday! There were flowers for Dad while we "toasted" him with a delightful morning tea and cake....later in the day Mum enjoyed looking at one of their many photo albums - this one of Mum & Dad's trip to Hawaii - I think it was sometime in the mid 1980s?
We have had travellers in the family again, this time it was Hayley and Megan who recently returned from a fabulous couple of weeks in Cuba - a country they both found to be very interesting.....
With more time on my hands now that I have retired I managed to finish a quilt - only a simple one with Kantha-style quilting.....the lovely backing is an Indian cotton from a local online patchwork shop - "Tamborine to Tilba".
Am enjoying even more reading time ..... some from our local library, even though my bookshelves are "sighing" under the weight of my own books to read!!
And.... while shopping at a local charity shop with a friend, amongst other treasures, found this lovely "tray" cloth.....will look even better when it has an iron!
That's it for now..... will be back with other projects being created and ..... anything else of interest.
Happy Stitching
Asta
