Moonlight at the Oasis

After being away for 3 weeks with shows in Sydney and Brisbane and also teaching at Batemans Bay inbetween, it was great to get back to a project that had been going on for some time and finally finishing it. The pattern always takes a lot longer than you think to do and get right. I came within an inch of getting someone else to quilt it but ended up doing it myself and am very pleased with the finished product.
It is just in time for AQC in Melbourne next week, I will be on stand number 130 which is my usual spot under the dome.

Zonta Exhibition and friend

Have had a great couple of days at the Zonta Exhibition with wonderful country hospitality. Supplied with unlimited cups of tea or coffee lovely home cooked cakes and lunch.
This particular exhibition has not only quilts but all sorts of needlework including the most exquisite petit point, cross stitch, tapestry, laces and embroidery

Turning into my street after setting up for the show, saw this little fellow walk over the road and got the camera before he completely hid himself in the tiny creek. A bit unusual in down town Victor Harbor although we do get rabbits, snakes and the odd kangaroo
