13th Jan 2016 back working on LE

OK this is what I have been thinking of for nearly two years but I just was NOT happy with the light spacer.

I went in to my sewing room to get the fabric for the 2nd border and saw this pink silk kimono  and thought what if????

now what if???????? I use this pink also in a border may be I will have enough fabric to complete the quilt!!!!!

If I choose to use the pink for this border I do have a problem; I have made my ovals in pink as I was going to use green for this border. !!!!  Where there is a will there is a way though LOL

A silk pink Kimono in the middle of been unpicked and the sleeve of a green one.

My pile of fabric is now 3 little piles ironed ready to use. Left brocade silk middle silk lining right silk green brocade All from Kimono’s I have unpicked to use in or on a quilt. Now that I want to work on my LE I want to have it some where so I can look at it any time and move things around where to find that space?????

Found my space, this is a old filing cabinet for surveyors maps now it is all done by computer, when I saw them about to be throw it in to he skip I thought it would be perfect for storing Kimonos in?????

Perfect storage for Kimonos

Now plus it will be perfect for been able to keep my LE flat for the next few months!!!!!

Lovely kingsize quilt that was handed in to the Op Shop I have just washed it as it was soiled in a couple of spots. It had been heavily quilted in strips and nothing in the other strip. Sadly when it was washed the un-quilted panels the wadding is starting to break up and roll in to balls. SO SO much work and we have a problem all most impossible to fix????? It will still look pretty though on as a bed spread. 

Looking North. I usually go here each Wed morning early.

Down at the beach yesterday looking South. I had lunch down there, so so lovely.

This is a rather a large BROM flower; it will last up to 3 or 6 month then die!!!!

Close up of the large Brom.

Our local tourist train that comes up twice in the mornings and back down in the after-noons. It is just a tourist train to our village from the city down below.  Ride takes around 2 1/2hrs and is a big attraction  here for the tourists.
