The creek has gone down some but it is raining again.If it rains all night the creek will be up again. Lets get some in the catchments.

I was really taken with this quilt for some reason. The colours and the design really appealed to me. I custom quilted it using elements of a set digitised by Joanne Knott from The Quilters Quilter. It is still a favourite of mine.

Hi .This is the creek at my place that my business is named after. It hasn't looked like this for about 10 years. We have had lots of lovely rain and the creek "Deep Creek" rose about 8 feet. It has receded a bit now but we are expecting more rain in the next few days. It is lovely to live here.







This is the weir at Lannecoorie,not far from where I live. It has not looked like this for over 10 years. Yay!!!!!










That's me in the picture above.
I have also been quilting and will post some more tomorrow.

French Braid

I love the rich colours of urples and greens in this French Braid Quilt made out of a Jelly Roll of batik fabrics. This is the result of a quilt in a day class available from Quilters Bazaar. The girls have great fun in these classes and still have something to show for their days work.
This was quilted with an all over design of ferns.
