Scrub Stitchin' 2026 - Saturday Day 4..........

Saturday came along and we started to see some more progress on projects the girls were working on or more to the point I got some pics...........
Smoko time on Saturday..........enjoying scones...........


lots of hand piecing in this one by Annette.......

Quilts for twins above and below............

this quilt I borrowed from Picton Patchwork.........love the colours in it and I got the fat 1/4 bundle to make it.............I have chosen quite a different background......
Robin let me have it for the weekend and we had it hanging up.........
Sandy and Deana I think also got the kit.........
The pattern is Fanciful Floor by Wendy Sheppard
Sorry I can't tell you right now what the fabric range is but it looks great and I have gone with a pickle colour background........
Love this one Lea is working on.....

woops can't remember who was making this one.............
or the one below...........

And there is always a beautiful sunset to enjoy in Baradine when we go for a late short walk to get some some fresh air and stretch our legs...........

Scrub Stitchin' 2026 - Special Theme Dinner......

This year the special theme dinner was 
"Your favourite book character" 
(or one you could find a way to dress as) 
I always like to make the table special...............
This year we didn't have many decorations hung up.......we had some bookcase quilts hanging up and we got some posters from a book shop promoting some books............
Di came up with the table runner idea............
we ripped some pages out of books and magazines and popped them down the centre of the table.............pretty effective........
It did cause some trouble the next day when Sue started reading one of the books at breakfast..........
then it was asking down the table who had the next page number..............lol
Di also found some book vases at a cheap shop............

Me and Christine..........
As usual some do it so well and others like me do something simple..........
I was struggling to decide what to do and I found this green dress in the cupboard so thought of Audrey of the Outback immediately...........I borrowed the hair from Miranda...........
Natasha, me, Lea, Sandy, Brenda and Georgina............

During dinner we also do our swap "Make It, Bake It or Fake It" and I received this cute little pin cushion and pins from Phyllis which is very handy as Fairy Girl took too many of mine........

It really rained...........

 OMG girls it rained.........
Last week we had a bit of rain but this week we have had amazing rain 95mm......
Just to remind you..........
actually maybe I haven't shared any of these photos...........Feeding..............
A view of the house dam down in it before the rain..............
Before the rain............we cleaned it out a bit on the sides..........
After the rain this week - chockers full............OMG happy days..........
Such a good sight........
Unless you have seen it bare and then rain you will never truly understand the wonder of nature............
it is amazing how fast the green pops out........
It's just so vibrant......we will be feeding for a bit yet but OMG it is so good to see the dams all full.........and lets hope we can stop feeding soon.......
For a 12 months time frame we are still well below average but at least it's rained..........
And it's still cloudy and the cooler weather seems to be hanging around now......
so good.......
Catch you all later........
