Friends, glorious friends

Recently I had 2 friends come for a visit. I have known them for over 30 years. We worked together for many years and then started our families. They decided to come and catch up for my birthday and of course, they wanted to see where I was now living....
We did all the tourist things. My hasband was a great sport driving us around...
We walked the market, the mall and a drive around town. Lunch at a lovely cafe, then another drive to a nearby town to look at the old buildings. We also stopped at Loch 10 to view how high the river is and was when it flooded back at Xmas time. We stopped at Orange  World to buy some fresh fruit. 
Photo time with the locals.

The next day we went to the fanstitc Gem shop, relaxed on the paddle steamer going through Loch 11 and lunch in the sun at a winery... It was a beautiful day. 



Home to relax and watch some movies. Next morning was a sad day. We had to say goodbye...

A dinner with friends

I had a busy day doing business, catching up with lots of friends and saying goodbyes before we move. I only took the one photo of two of my friends and I together. It's been a long time since we were all together. We had such a good laugh.
Enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Kealba hotel.
SUE, DEBBIE & JO

12" October block for Debbie

Here is my block I am sending Debbie. 
As she is in Canada, my last block hasn't got overseas yet, I thought I had better send it early.
So it is on the way. With a little something as well.
Debbie asked for any block in yellow & white tone on tone.
Refreshing

This block is called Dutch Pinwheel.
You can see it on TWIN FIBRES blog

I used the easy half square triangles way. Making 8 at a time.
Here is a good tutorial to make these 1/2 square triangles at
