A block, Redwork and a Day Out.

Yesterday I finished stitching together my 3rd block of Aiming for Accuracy.  I am so pleased with the result as the points look pretty good to me. Have started on Block 4 so that should be done by tomorrow. Block 5 is trimmed and ready to go as well. So I am on a roll at the moment so lets hope that keeps going.

Block 2 with Block 3 underneath.
I have also completed my Friendship quilt red work stitchery and think the Hugs and Kisses Cottage Garden thread looks lovely. Still have a couple of applique blocks to finish to catch up on this one.
Today, Chris and I played hooky and went on a mid-week hot rod run.  Only 6 cars went but it was a great day. We met at Yatala for morning tea and with Chris leading the way, we headed out to the Dougandan Hotel just outside Boonah about an hour away. I tried to get Chris to stop at Maynards in Boonah (lots of quilting fabrics found there) but couldn't convince him that this was a good idea.
This is where we ended up.

The cars had quite a few  people stopping to check them out.  Ours is the yellow one in the middle.
This is where we had a lovely lunch before getting back in our cars and heading for home.
It was pretty chilly in the hot rod this morning so I got to wear my woolly scarf and hat that I bought when we were in Tassie in March but by the time we had lunch it was quite warm.
Must go now as hubby wants his turn on the computer.  Tomorrow it's back to sewing.  Till next time.......Happy Stitching..........

  2. It would have been a great day weather wise - so clear & sunny today. I must remember to check out Maynards next year - shame I hadn't heard before I was in Boonah earlier.
