Went to Elli's quilting group in Castlemaine. Meet some lovely ladies all made me feel very welcome.
The different patterns of quilts is quite remarkable. I might start but will only be a bag or something small.
Some of the ladies work on their quilts for years. Tracy (Elli's best pal) had just had her quilt machined top stitched and went to pick it up to 'show and tell' very lovely soft pastel shades. Some of the other quilts were very vibrant and bright.
Would you believe I won a raffle prize, a bottle of fabric wash. Made Elli really laugh as I don't do half the washing she does!l
Sunday 11th
Vicky and Julian along with Patrina their golden Labrador came over for a BBQ. Patrina is with them for the first year of her life as she is being trained to be a guide dog. Mick and Elli are hoping she will not pass the testing as they would very much love to have her as company for Klara. But at the moment she is proving to be very very good.
The two dogs had great fun as we all did, chatting, eating and drinking all day. Mick still insisted in cutting the grass he can't just sit and chat.
Monday 12th
Had a lovely day with Elli driving into the suburbs of Melbourne showing me all the houses her and Mick have lived in. Her mums house and Ivan's (the man next door!) then went up to Mount Dandenong and had lunch in 'The Pie in the Sky' aptl named, unfortunately it started to rain so we did not go round the Rhododendrons gardens. Lovely little gift shops so brought some pressies for friends at home.
