Did you hear my sigh, as I finally sat down to sew this weekend? It had been too long -too many other priorities, so that my poor yellow quilt was languishing, and the list of 'quilts to make before the end of September" seemed quite impossible.
My DH encouraged me to get some slabs of time -we usually split the housework and shopping, but he did the shopping on Friday so I could get started, and did the housework on Saturday so I could get some more quilting done after my volunteer roster at the asylum seeker agency.
There is some big news about my quilting too - I HAVE JOINED THE WA QUILTERS! I have been attending their exhibitions and following them on FaceBook, so when they said there was an open night last Wednesday- and it was quite close by- I took myself off to see what it was like. In all the years I have been a quilter (about 8 now) I have never been in a group, apart from the classes I took to start off. I joined online groups, but never in person.
I think I might join the community quilting sub-group, and see how I go.
Free motion quilting adds such lovely texture!
A friend asked me about bread recipes - I have added these two to my "from my kitchen" page.
I took a walk in the winter sunshine during my lunchtime last week -over past the cement factory and the marshalling yards to the much nicer part of East Perth where I walked along a little brook and enjoyed the antics of the birds splashing.
I hope for a peaceful week -as I have now finished the quilting, all I have to do is the binding on the yellow quilt. Hopefully it will be done by next weekend and I can then feel a bit more up to date!

A friend of mine is part of our local quilters club and loves it. I'm sure you will thoroughly enjoy it all. I look forward to your finished product too.
My copy of English Bread and Yeast Cookery has finally arrived and ready for me to pick up this afternoon from our library. Really looking forward to that.
