Weekend catch up.............

 Finally I feel like I am catching up on things...............
Last weekend considerable rain was forecast so I thought it would be a great time to zoom...........
As it had rained and I didn't go to work Friday I thought I would host Friday afternoon drinks and stitch...........we had a lovely crew join in I think 10 of us..................
Saturday morning I started early as usual..........
22 ladies popped in and out during the day...............
It's always great to see what everyone is up and hear the talk of snow when we are sweating it out..............
It rained most of the day which was so nice............
I worked on my random quilt from retreat.......
lots of 3 sisters fabrics plus a few others thrown in I am sure..........
the bird baths are all full.................
great to catch up with everyone and just enjoy good company...............
finally we had to duck to the neighbours to pick up some supplies and this was the end of the day view............
the week has continued with storms floating around most days and a good heavy fall on Tuesday ran water everywhere.........
The creek was up the next morning.............
so nice to see it full..........
got bogged going to work with my neighbour on Wednesday......
We could not budge it........had to call for help.....

Still chance of storms for the next few days.....
97mm (nearly 4 inchs) since it started last Thursday........very nice.......
some very big falls around.........5-6 inchs is pretty common.......some 8-10inchs
Anyway its great for the summer feed to come away..........lots soaking in.........dams full........
Catch you later...........

I just never seem to get top join in sadly - great fun I am sure. Love your blocks - I am very fond of 3 sisters fabrics. Great photos and lovely to have all that rain. Storm coming here this weekend with strong winds - am battening hatches! xx

Sorry I keep missing the zooms - that quilt is coming along well...perfect cornerstones!
Glad to hear about the rain too - when we had so much I was hoping it was down your way too.

Flood or fire - take your pick.
Sure sad I missed you ladies. My timing was just not right.
I really like your "random quilt" and the photo of rain drops in the bird bath.
