Summer Days...

 means a little sewing...

 lots of cycling....

visiting beautiful gardens.....

and the beach.....

op shopping.....

and general relaxing!

We are experiencing a bit of heatwave at the moment, 

so motivation to sew is not high! 

When it cools down, hopefully there will be a flimsy 

finish!

Happy days!

A Roadtrip

Mr PnP and I just returned from a little 

Easter/Autumn road trip!

Firstly, the Marimekko exhibition in Bendigo...

a beautiful art show in Castlemaine...

The Silo Art Trail has long been on my 'must-do' list!

 What an achievement!

And it's bringing some much-needed tourism back to 

country Victoria.

We then spent three glorious days in Glenelg....

walking the Esplanade each morning!

And along the Torrens river too...

Finally, we did some cycling in the Clare Valley...

with some wine tasting in between!

There was one last silo in Coonalpyn, South 

Australia....

For more information go here, or here.

I did sew while being a passenger or in the 

evenings...

and have six of these appliqued to the background 

squares.

And of course, it's important to have a little souvenir 

for my own future quilt....

I'd never seen "Frou Frou" fabrics in real life before!

I'm itching to get back in my sewing room,

with plenty of ideas brewing!

Happy days!

Saw/Sore!

(Warning- this post has nothing to do with patchwork

 but everything to do with 'Suz at play'!)

Our little cycling vacation is nearly over!

I have ridden over 200 kilometres in the last 6 days!

The cycling group after the Community Challenge- yes, we could still smile!

So I am a bit sore but a bit fitter too!

And for those interested (namely Rachael, Kirsty and Leanne), here's some 

of what we saw.....

No, not quite the Tour de France but a very well organised and friendly event!

Needless to say not much sewing has been happening!

I promise next time to have a bit more of my paper piecing project to share!

Happy days...
