WOW or WIP’s with Esther 7th May 2019

Ariving in Brisbane, it is the capital of our state.

Please some one slow down time??? It is all ready May and I have not completed any quilts yet??? My year is running or may be galloping so fast past me??? I can not even find time to blog each week this year?

We flew South to one of Ozzie’s beautiful beaches and stayed there 2 weeks.

A beautiful ghost gum tree on the edge of the sea.

There is nothing more beautiful than a sun rise or set over the ocean

How’s this for an entrance to a unit and a view to look out on when sewing?

I also made a wee nock out side to sew at.

I sat there and worked on my diamond blocks.

Made up a Dear Jane Block.

Back of my DJ block.

Then walked out to the point , the sea is so beautiful here at Noosa, water is crystal clear and you can see the dolphins and turtles if they are around.

Then my DDIL asked if I would repair their quilt I made my son when he first went to Uni 20 plus years ago. It was the first quilt I made .

Sadly it falling apart just due to constant use. Some thing any quilter loves to see as it tells you it has been loved and used. I stitched down some applique that was falling off and patched a nasty pice of fabric that had parted just so worn.

I need to go to bed so will leave it as is, and post some photo of the garden tomorrow. But will share my lovely flowering orchid with you first.

In the garden to day as promised. 8th May 2019

It is a new leaf about to unfold into a giant fern frond. It is called a tree fern here in OZ

things grow so fast here and if you don’t prune quickly they grow where you don’t want them to like this branch has grown through the Grandchildren’s basketball hoop in the garden???

Like my kitchen serve ??? My DGD loves to catch the tiny fish in the pond which there are 100’s. So she borrowed my serve one day, it was hung on a Brocken branch and over the wet season the branch regrew and has covered the handl completely??? We don’t stand still for long around here or we would be swallowed up by the trees?!
