True Love

I think when your husband is visiting San Francisco,  Enid, Oklahoma and Salt lake City on a work trip  and finds time to stop by 2 patchwork shops and buys you fabric... that's true love. I love him to bits.  I am grateful every day that I married him 35 years ago. Look what he chose for me...I just love it all. I was so surprised !!

2  half yard pieces 

This is a beautiful panel.. I love the colours and I love the bison

These  blue /grey panels are  just awesome, the way the landscape is a part the animal. I will have to look for some fabrics to use with them.

Presents

Bernie has just arrived home from his trip to the US and bought some cute gifts for me.

A Lovely Weekend with Friends Fires and Drinks

Our very dear friends from Brisbane came out for their country visit. We ate and drank far too much but what a nice night. The pizza oven was baking, the outdoor fire  smoldering and even the inside fire place was alight for later. It was lovely and cold .  Sadly that may be it , the forecast is for 33 C next week ... could be swimming in winter? I did finish another Lucy block last night but no photos.sorry.
