Family updates

 Before the school holidays the miss received an award and played the drum in the school band.

We also had a lovely family weekend celebrating Ma's 94th birthday and Cameron's and Bruce's birthdays too.

Here is Jack performing on his flute.

The Perth family have just had an amazing holiday in Malaysia with their good friends. Looks like they had a fabulous time.

Here are the big boys celebrating their 13th birthdays!!!

Quilt exhibition

A few weeks ago  I met some friends at Craft Alive in Canberra. There were some lovely stalls and it was great to see the quilt Exhibition.

Alice turns 11

 Hard to believe that the little miss turned 11 recently! She celebrated at a delicious Japanese dinner at Raku and then cake at home. She also had a fun party with her friends.

There were lovely school photos too.

Home activities

 We have been home for quite a few weeks. So now is the time to get back to normal. I had a few quilts professionally quilted before I went away so I enjoyed binding and labelling them. Nice to see them finished. The first is Owl and Hare Hollow and the second is the Adeline and Remy quilt from my quilting holiday last year.

I had knitted this cardigan earlier on so it needed blocking and buttons.

The week we returned we had to head to Sydney for a funeral for Bruce's cousin. He had been very ill and was 82 but he will be missed. Graham was the loveliest man and the memoral service was really beautiful. As the family doesn't get together often a few pictures were taken.
