Friday Night Sew-In

 I fiddled a bit in the sewing room getting things 

ready for retreat in a couple of weeks.

Also worked a little on a special project. 

Hopefully, I'll get some more done today.

Thanks for hosting a lovely night of stitching, Wendy.

A Day At The Zoo

 Today Nelson and I headed off to the Zoo. The weather turned out beautiful and we had such a lovely day.

 

 Found a ball of Lemurs!

 A miniature one!

 The new baby Pygmy Hippopotamus was having a sleep.

 This White Cheeked Gibbon took a fancy to Nelson.

 Every time Nelson moved, she moved along with him.

I love this photo.

 You can see how far she moved along.

 Watched the elephants having a shower.

 Got up close with these Rainbow Lorikeets.

 Nelson made another friend!?

Just to prove I was there too!

A Cold Wet Afternoon

Spent preparing binding and stitching it onto my 

2013 FQS Designer Mystery Quilt. 

I decided to bind it in the same fabric as the border, 

not the navy spot. Yes, I did find my precut binding strips. I'll save them for something else. Mel and I are heading off to NOTYQ retreat in about three weeks. Stitching down the binding will be one of the projects I will be taking.

Friday Night With friends

What a lovely night it was stitching along with friends. 

I prepared two stitcheries and made a start on one.

This tea pot is part of Jenny's Stitchery Club.

Block 7 of Jenny's Vintage Kitchen. I hope Jenny doesn't think I'm stalking her but she does the loveliest of designs!

Thank you Chez for hosting us last night. 

You can see what others got up to here.
