More quilt show pictures

This one is with the Downton Abbey fabric. Can't wait for the show to start up again.

My favorite quilter with a quilt that was on her design board for MANY years.

This was a first ladies quilt.

:Loved the red and blue in this quilt. Would not have thought the many shades of color went together but with small pieces, it was very nice.

 

Quilt show winner

I entered my wool applique quilt Jacqueline's Album in the RHQG show this weekend. This is a special quilt because it was a block of the month that I did with several good friends.  It is also super special because my mom did the piecing and my MIL did the hand quilting. I am truly blessed to have this heirloom piece made from hands of great women and now a blue ribbon to go with it.

I mustache you a question....

Did we have a good time or what???? The weekend after we got home from Australia, had a weekend crop.  A great time was had with some fun women.  Becky brought mustaches for our group of 8 on Saturday night. Nothing like a little mustache humor to get your second wind going to crop until the wee hours of the morning.

Home home again

As we start the long journey home, I am filled with such gratefullness. I am thankful for the friends and family for their love and support, converters, advice, airport shuttle, and answers to all our questions and planning. I am thankful for Caleb for keeping the home fires burning and for Chris for the memorable Opera House show.

But I am especially grateful for Paul for all of his planning and for always wanting to go on this trip.  It's been talked about jokingly for 25 years and I am glad we have done it.  Yesterday, on Sept 11th, he arranged for us to renew our wedding vows with Fr Neville at St Patrick's Church in Sydney. It has been my joy to spend the last 25 years with him and I look forward to every day ahead with him.

One last pic

Last pic of the opera house while we were on the bridge.   Such a good view just had to share it.

Anyone for a walk?

While at the bridge we walked across and back, great views and lots of traffic,  The bridge has rail lines, 8 lanes for cars and a walking lane.  Got one more pic of the opera house as well.

Up close and personal

We took the tour of the Harbour Bridge pylon today.  There's a museum inside the pylon and an observation deck on top.  After a bunch of steps we reached the top and the views are amazing.
