Well NO beach today!!!! My friend came up for coffee here instead
Coffee at home instead of the beach for a change on Wednesday?????
as she had friends from Japan staying & they wanted to visit the rainforest & take the wee tourist train back down the mountain,
The Train goes through the middle of the house!!!! remember that song?????
a very big attraction from here down the mountain, it takes about 2hrs in old open window carriages, & you can walk from carriage to carriage
Kuranda Tourist train, lots of fun to ride????
by going out side to the next carriage?????? Note the steps you have to climb up when getting in to the carriage at the stations?????? Lots of fun. There is no such thing as aircon though!!!!! They caught the 2pm train down & waved to me as they went past as the railway goes past the bottom of our garden as it winds its way beside the Barron River. Train only comes up twice in the morning & goes down twice in the after-noon so it does not worry us. It’s really a very quite line.
They took back the Tsunami Quilt
Binding added & now on its way.
so finally the last one has gone. Now I want to make some kiddies ones.
After they left I worked on some leaves
Pairing more leaves to make????
pairing them up to sew together after ironing on the freezer paper, it was like playing cards when I was little???? pairing them up?????? I have a friend I’m taking to hospital for day surgery on Friday guess what I will be sewing while I wait for 4 or more hrs, I will find a quite spot & curl up in a chair and sew to my hearts content?????? Now I’m getting my freezer paper templates ready to iron on to my pink fabrics,
Making pink flower petals still?????
some more flowers coming up for Flowers For Me!!!!! So if you are thinking of starting Esther’s beautiful quilt Hearts Desire you can see I’m still working on my centre blocks & you can catch up quickly if you use a machine to applique!!!!! Now it is time to feed the dogs & make our dinner, this evening I will cut out my pink petals for 3 small flowers!!!!! Cheers ALL Glenda
Glenda, I love your black & white & pink! It’s a fantastic combination.
I’ve been on the Kuranda train, it’s a fun ride, and a scenic trip.
What a wonderful photo of friends enjoying your paradise it is so beautiful. I love the photo of the train in amongst all the green that would make a pretty quilt.
Your leaves and petals are coming along nicely. Hope your friend will be ok on Friday I am sure she appreciates you waiting for her.
Hugs Bunny
Hello Glenda,
I’ve been admiring your pictures…really do love your color combination. Those flowers will be simply gorgeous. I made the first block – hand appliqued it; but it really hurts my right hand to do it by hand. So maybe I’ll get the others done by machine…just doesn’t look the same! Lol… Anyhoo, have a lovely day!
Your Hearts Desire is coming along beautifully!
