Flooding Everywhere

Smileycons!We have not seen rain like this so wide spread for over 20 years.

In our area we have schools and roads closed everywhere. The dams are at a record high not seen in 20 years in Queensland. The river systems are starting to flow and hopefully the Darling Murry system will benefit from this rain.


I have been working on a quilt today for a challenge in our quiting group. We were given two fat quarters of fabric. One is the gold and the other is the dull gold silver I have used for the boarders and sashing. I was going to go all glitzy but then I had to do a class on the origami kimono so decided to do this with the fabric. I was surprised it did not fray very much. I am pleased with the way it all turned out.



I have made this little camera case for volunteer that helps Mum sometimes when the home takes the ladies on an outing. I noticed the other day she had a camera the same as mine with no case.



This is the first strip in a lesson I am taking on Seminole with Learningfa.I have enjoyed doing this strip (more to come) as it is a long time since I have done any Seminole.

I have a bit of an easy day and not minding the rain at all. I have been sad as our beautiful billy goat must have been bitten by a snake and we found him dead at the front of the pens. We had seen him a few hours before and he was fine. No other reason but to be a snake as he was only 3 years old and fit as a fiddle. The nanny's will miss him as we do.

Keep stitching
Delia

Our patchwork group are doing a workshop in seminole too! Seems to have made a comeback. Your piece is wonderful. And I love your kimino pieces. The flowers work very well with them, too. Did you make those? We've got sunny skies at the moment. Hope you're drying out?

Thanks Del
