Well done LP. Have a good trip and a great holiday.
Patchwork was a mix today. Took in my 9 block panel and was told I have to start quilting in the middle of each block and work out, using the stitching to emphasise the shapes as they are all different and then do the "tram lines" with a curvilinear stitch pattern to decorate. Not the sort of thing to be doing by machine........ Bums.
Today's options for the fund raiser projects were the same as last time so I chose the least of several evils, decided most fo it is best done by machine and spent ages leafing through about 3' of magazines looking for info and inspiration. Mind boggling amounts of twee or naff USA stuff. I shall have to resort to the web.
Came home via a new, to us, supermarket so I could pick up a water butt. Only one on display and chappy won't be there till tomorrow am. We'd like a couple more, at least.
Cold this evening so have a fire lit for a cosy evening. Stay warm everyone and safe travels to BUsy and OH and anyone else on the move tomorrow.

I’m still trying to catch up on everyone’s doings, but one thing sticks in my mind. Obelixx, I don’t envy the sewing. I hope your machine has enough room for all the twisting and turning you’ll be needing to do.
While you are all listening to morning birdsong and starting to thaw out for your expected spring, we are getting a beginning of yellow leaves on the poplars on the river and orange colours on the maples, ash, etc. it seems our seasons are all changing at the same time. It’s a bit cool this morning. A very nice change to waking to hot dry winds.
night night all. I’m having a lazy start to my day here.
I’m hoping there will still be a bit of sunshine for me - i go in a couple of weeks. Well 15 more sleeps ? to be precise .....not that I’m counting or anything
I’m sure there’ll be plenty of sun left for you Chicky. There is a bit of rain still working it’s way across from the North West cyclone “Kelvin”, but it should be gone to Tasmania by that time.
Its my mother’s birthday today. She would have been 111. My sister and I have been chatting about it.

Happy holidays to LilyP and Lizzie
Will be getting on a plane again myself soon - so will get to see Pat’s yellowing leaves myself ?
Seeds are germinating on the windowsill ......oh the excitement
Lovely to have you back Chicky.
Im really surprised at how the leaves have started turning so soon.

Morning all.
Pat, the season seems to have flown past if the leaves are yellowing. The poplars in their autumn colours do make a lovely view down your river.
Chicky, have a lovely time with chicklet when you see her.
Good morning all
G'day Pat 
Excitement abounds Chicky

Hmm definitely a problem.
I'll report it ...
