Thallon Silos

There is a little town, or some might say, village, 190 km west of Goondiwindi. Like many little towns tiny towns, they are finding it hard to survive.  A lovely lady who was once a teacher there worked to get Thallon on the map. Painted Silos, like the ones in the south of the country. (I have talked about them on my blog before.) After the silos come along "Willy the Wombat".  Kids can even climb on him as one side has rock climbing holds.  Shh!!   not just kids when I was there last Saturday I saw a lady who would have been 60 climb upon his back... what fun .. being a kid again.

Of course these things plus the pub and the river have attracted the grey nomads in their caravans and others. Lunch at the pub is good too.  There is a good story on the ABC Australian story about this little place. Worth a look.

All in a weekend -Sue Spargo Project begins and so does Hockey

When I was in Houston I saw Sue Spargo and bought some projects from her. It has taken me this long to get the confidence to try to start them.  This one is the beginners project.. the needle roll. I was pleased with my first circle. 

Our little girl started Hockey this was her first game.

And of course the little boy had to have a go as well, but not in the class of course.

What Ev does Colton does... well he tries to anyway. They are growing so fast

Do your grand kids  like selfies?  Mine love them but it's hard to get a serious face .

Leanne's House Finished

After a few years in the cupboard as a quilt top I have finally finished this lovely quilt. It is Leanne's house by Leanne Beasley. This is my OPAM for July a complete finish . Hope this is allowed Peg.

I am trying to teach myself how to machine quilt. I am quite pleased with it although it is not perfect.

This is going to be finished now!

 The journey starts 

 

 Whoops a thread in the photo 

Bernie's Panel

Last time Bernie traveled to the USA he brought home 3 panels. This is the second one made up, just have to quilt it now .

Quilt Show Purchases

Had a great weekend at the Sydney quilt show. I had a little spend up. Not fabric though are you not proud of me. Better still I have made up one project already .

Some little Wendy Williams projects to take in the caravan  and one big project. 

Some tools and stitching

These are great to stop the ruler slipping 

This is one of the best things , a little light for my machine to add extra light, I am sure as you get older you need one of these.
