BMT Challenge

WQ&S 2019 Biggest Morning Tea Challenge was something about the Yarra Valley. All the Squares are going to be used in a wall hanging for the CFA or the Museum. 

I decided to do the Lilyday-Warbuton train, whose track was converted into a walking trail. I used this old photo of the day the last train ran on Sunday, 1 August 1965.

Mother's Day 2019

Present from my eldest daughter,

A very talented daughter, who rarely buys us presents, but takes the time to craft some awesome gifts. 

This one is a pelican on a small agate disk, with a sand plant. It is no taller then 1 inch, so tiny and delicate.

Portraits of Baron Rudolf and Baroness Nicolette

I friend of mine, Avril, did these for us years ago. She did it from photos and they are extremely well done, even if we are looking a bit severe looking. I found them recently in a box of old stuff. I am sending them off to get framed so that I can hang them.

Playing with a Embroidery Machine

My friend, Cathy, invited me over one day to play with her embroidery machine. She hadnt used it in a while and used me as a student, while she brought her skills up again, remembering as she went along. It was a lovely afternoon. We were also entertained by her 'puppies'.
