Stitch-a-long

Time is something i have long lamented
that i just don't have enough of

i know, i know....... this is a common complaint

but really where is the year going, 

it feels like i was only packing up the Christmas decorations
yesterday,
i have sooo. . . . many projects in my basket 
i had hoped this year would be the year to finish some projects
but it's not looking good
i think it was a month or more ago i retreived
Miss S'  s quilt out to work on and i haven't 
done a stitch . . . . 

and the new project itch is starting
but i really really must 
. . . . re . . si . . st . . . .
does it count as a new project if i bought the fabric before christmas?

anyway
......ENOUGH MOANING.....
(sorry common side effect, known commonly as night dutyitis)


i have had busy hands though trying to catch up with my 
stitch a-long
you probably all remember i was a bit of a late starter


i have completed my
first March block for the stitch a long 


my first May Block


my second March block


don't they look great
i must admit i am unsure how they will look altogether, the 
fabric colours are way outside my square 
but they are fun to stitch

 . . . .  i see red , i see red i seee red . . . 

so that's a grand total of 
five totally completed

one stitched 
(the second March block)
and on the sewing table
and  the last of the March blocks has been started

hope your hands are bust stitching something that you 
love

I can appreciate your feelings about 'time' as well. If you bought the fabric last year it could be a work in progress perhaps! I have lots of them!! LOL

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
