On Sunday at early church, we stopped to weave some lemon grass strands into an art work, to remember the islander families suffering such tragedy this week with the loss of eleven members from two closely related families in the unimaginable house fire at Logan.

Time for the Quilt Show

Image
I promised I would take you to the Quilt Show last weekend. well, here we are finally... a frill necked lizard... plenty of gorgeous displays of flowers... enough to maintain the interest of grandchildren... this one was depicting Bible stories.... the segment above appears to be Joseph's coat of many colors.... more lovely flowers...for the Carnival of Flowers weekend visitors... I think the one above was one of my favorites....I like the raggy edges. It was called Pineapples! something for everyone... I wonder if this one will get the most popular, viewer's choice, if not overall champion perhaps? Maybe they weren't judging them, but they were just there for enjoyment. I enjoyed them immensely. And enjoyed the company of a grand daughter as well! If you haven't been here for a while, then you might enjoy the massed display of blue flowers in the park, in my previous post!
