Our Trip begins a Morven

For those who like patchwork and stitching news it will be a little short over the next 3 weeks because we are on an outback trip. So here we go ....

Some areas have been very dry so there are lots of cattle on the road and kids on school holidays loving to help. Never underestimate what kids in the bush can do...

Gidgee's Bush Camp - best Coffee shop , great coffee and where you least expect it. If you go there its a must do go to the "Kill for a Cuppa" coffee shop .

The Piliga Sculptures

Looking up from the bottom of the George.

Looking down from the top

During our 'Scrub Stitchin' Retreat Chooky and Sonia organised a trip to the Piliga Sculptures. The sculptures were worked on in consultation with the indigenous community in the area.

I love this ,it's rock but to me it looks like a Eucalyptus or gum tree when the bark is peeling.
These sculptures are so deep in the scrub no-body would know they are there!

Arriving at our" Scrub Stitchin" retreat April 5 2018

We arrived about 12.00 The room was ready ! I made these couple of little bags for swaps and for a room buddy gift.

Finally got into a Di Ford quilt I did a workshop on 18 months ago . All set up ready to go!

My little car found its twin at the retreat . They parked together all weekend .Mine is on the left.

We all made two 10.5 blocks one in white and bright and the other in creams and traditional. There was a draw if you won you got to choose the colour lot you wanted and the other was to be made up and donated to a charity. In the end They both are goig to be donated to charity .

See the two pioneer men in the photo, can you believe they were related to one of the ladies on the retreat. They were Georgina's great uncles.
