Travelling Lucy's

Initially I was going to call this post Lazy Lucy's because I didn't think I had done very many blocks this year. but as I sat own and looked at my phone and the blocks I have completed I realised that I had done so much more than I thought


the above block was made during our trip to Dubbo to the zoo, most of it was stitched in the car on the way, but some as we relaxed in the afternoons.


this one was started in the car on the way home. it was during this trip I decided that decided to go a different way and use the French general blue as my background.  You can read a little more about it here.


this block was created on the plane and in the airports as we travelled to France for our big adventure.


this block was completed in Paris . . . . . ohh Paris the city of my dreams . . . .



this block was started in Florence in Italy and finished in Turkey


this block was started in Cappadocia, Turkey and completed on the plane on the ride home


this block was made at home and is one of Shiralee Stitches blocks


this block was special it was cut out at the wonderful Sonia's and was the result of inspiration from a challenge that Chooky and Sonia had done one weekend. Sonia also has some of this fabric and some is in an envelope headed to ChookyBlue


this one was made from pieces sent to me from Chookyblue


and this was a block from Shiralee Stitches and is my last Block for 2016.

as six of these blocks were made during my and Mr Googy's adventures I thought travelling Lucy was much more appropriate.

I have just under ten blocks left to make and of course all the joiner blocks as well

I hope that this time next year I will be writing another post with lots more blocks from our adventures of 2017 and that Lucy will be getting so much closer to being finished

Toorale homestead - Louth

We set off from Bourke  , we had stayed the night at Kidmans camp , which was a lovely spot and headed off south to start the Datling River run. For the first few hours we didn’t see any river as our first destination was  TooraleHomestead The drive in was pretty good , lots of dust and a little bit of corrigation but really quite good  We seen some wildlife including an eagle  Bit blurry as it was taken through the windscreen of the car ,  Some Emu’s and kangaroos  The homestead itself is closed to the public except during school holidays ,so we didn’t get to go in but , we knew before we arrived that was the case and I was keen to see it anyway. Sir Samuel McCaughey in partnership with his Brother John and cousin purchased Toorale, Nocoleche and Dunlop station. Acquiring 800 000 acres of land and 130 000 sheep and 80 horses.  Eventually Samuel bought his brother and cousin out. He built the homestead in 1896 as a wedding gift to his niece. The golden years for the homestead were betw

Scrappy chook quilt

So I have been keeping this one under wraps, not on purpose mainly just because I have been a very lazy blogger. A few months ago, as most of you know I had a visit to chookyblue's place, whilst there I had the pleasure to sleep under some of her gorgeous quilts. But one in particular took my fancy I just loved the scrappiness of this quilt, the lovely colours but mainly just the simple design. So when I headed up to Nundle for my retreat, I sent the lovely Kerry a photo and she assured me she could pull together some lovely fabrics and guide me, to put this lovely quilt together. When I arrived at Nundle This lovely bundle of fabrics awaited me The girls and I used the black and white feature on the iPad to determine light medium and dark fabrics I spent 3/4 of the first day creating these squares, I think I frustrated Miss Joolz because I just could not be random, I had to be organised I didn't want to get end and end up wit

Burren junction - Brewarinna

Beds on Barwon We left Newcastle at a reasonable time on Friday morning not gadgets ( my husband) usual 4am start and headed west.  We really never planned this trip out as such we vaguely decided that sitting by a river with a fire was our plan , a chance to take a deep breathe and slow down our lives for a bit. Almost 13 years ago we were extremely fortunate to do the darling river run with some wonderful friends and thought that we would love to repeat that trip and hopefully see the Darling river with water this time.  However at this stage our plans are a little up in the air with the road to Louth currently closed due to rain and some of the national parks closed for the same reason. Soo where are we heading , not sure but wherever we are heading it will be an adventure. So on day one we drove to Burren Junction where we spent our first night of our adventure at a truck stop  This is our new travelling Duo Reggie ( car) and Ruby ( van) we decided last year it was time to say good
