Adventure continues.............

So when I landed I was whisked away from the airport to Miss Fiona's@ Bubz Rugz.............
She is just fabulous and we had a great time together..........
I enjoyed some great long walks in her area and found some lovely things to photograph along the way............
the plant above looked like 3 plants next to each other and thick and only short..........but great colours and look in the garden...........
gorgeous frangipanis flowering everywhere.......different colours too..............I stole a few from Fiona's garden actually Mr Bubz Rugz garden...........
Grevilleas...........
Spider lily? very delicate and pretty none the less..............
Even found some old cattle yards in my walk........old timber joins...........they don't make them like this any more............
I ended up walking 6kms around the suburbs...........felt a bit too flash walking on paths even............
 After all that walking I relaxed with some hand stitching and then moved onto my Churn Dash quilt..............I stole Fiona's design wall............
thanks for the loan of a machine Fiona............I had all but one seam left to join when I went out for the evening............
 Yep I gate crashed Friday night stitching..............
Kris @ Tag-along Teddies was there so great to catch up with her also...........I did some hand stitching and also pinned the last seam on the quilt.............
Straight after sewing I came home to Fiona's and joined the final seam and my churn dash is now finished..............OMG it is bigger then I thought............this is a queen bed I laid it out on.........I only added an extra row to one side and the bottom........
Oh well as I say bigger is better..........
Found these gorgeous gluten free cup cakes on a fete stall that I worked on while away too..............OMG they were amazing............
I wished I had pics of the others there........it was so pretty..........
After all that fun I had to pack up and leave the beautiful green Toowoomba and head home to a dry brown farm.............
Catch you later.............

Matching colours........

Wow what a difference today....... This year we have not had a day under 34........today it is only just 27......feels like heaven......
The Bird on the Border has flown in and we are sewing away...... Actually not a lot of sewing for me yet but lots of prep work to keep sewing my 10 mins each day.......
 A quick trip to the Home Patch and a sale saw me getting the setting triangle fabric for the churn dash quilt..(plus some other treasures)... So that is cut along with the corner stones.... Also cutting some bindings.......
But colour coordinated drinks is the go...... 
Catch you later.....
