Think Pink

This month's RSC is pink.   Last night when joining in with FNSI the pink scraps that were pulled during the week ended up like this.

I have just returned from the library with this pile of books.  

The one on top is this month's book club read.......I think the question is will I read it .     Reading the back of the book and doing a quick flip through the pages it looks to be well above my reading level!!!!!!

Linking with So Scrappy.

Back soon and in the meantime

Finally meeting up

Last Friday I met up with Deana from Dreamworthy Quilts and three of her friends.   They had all travelled over from the US to attend Scrub Stitching which is an annual event hosted by Donna from Chookyblue.   You can read all about here.   

This meet up with Deana has been a long time coming.....we have spoken to each other on Zoom over many many years and it was lovely to finally meet her in person.   The four US visitors came over to Manly via ferry from Circular Quay - a must do for anyone visiting Sydney.   It was suggested that lunch should be fish and chips - also a must for anyone visiting Manly - and should be eaten using fingers not utensils.   So off to the fish and chip shop and then to find a table with a waterview of the boats and harbour.   Lunch was enjoyed by everyone.    After lunch it was time to take the obligatory photo...a passerby obliged so all 5 of us could be in the photo.  

This is what the secret sewing was all about.   I wanted to gift the US visitors a small memento of their visit downunder and thought that the fabric with the Australian cities and towns on it would be perfect.  Keeping in mind that they were flying and space was limited I decided to go with a snap top bag which hopefully they will find useful.

Our time together was rather brief but enjoyable.   Who knows perhaps our paths may cross again one day.

FNwF

Not much happened in the sewing room last night but I did go through the pink scraps and pulled out suitable pieces for this month's RSC blocks.  

During the week two small donation quilts were finished off

Today I gifted the secret sewing that had been happening earlier on.   More on that to come.

Back soon and in the meantime
