The Sun Came Out...

Finally it stopped raining, the sun came out and shone in the blue sky...the whole time the Human was inside at Summer School!! After Wednesday's mammoth effort she did even less on Thursday...drew a line, pinned a seam and sewed maybe six inches of that seam on her Anna quilt...but there was a reason for abandoning quilting projects...The Stitching Post shop was at Summer School and Karen bought along some cross-stitch from her other shop Linen and Threads...an impromptu cross-stitch on linen lesson was scheduled Wednesday afternoon for Thursday.  Karen's husband Brendan put together kits for those who wanted to take part and 8-10 patchworker/quilters became cross-stitchers for a couple of hours...the Human enjoyed revisiting cross-stitch after not doing any for a number of years and managed to stitch a stem...Oh yeah she is speedy....not!

Friday was a sit & sew day (or in the Human's case, sit and socialise!) so she fluffed about a bit more.  For the second workshop on the weekend she chose Miss Emma, which can happily be made from stash and scraps, and managed this...

She did machine sew when she came home in the afternoons and by the end of Summer School the Welsh Quilt started on Wednesday looked like this...

 

N came back down for the weekend, as she wanted to got a festival that was on in Katoomba, but the Human didn't get to see much of her as either N was at the festival or the Human was at class/Saturday night dinner and N had to go home Sunday before the Human came back from class...oh well, they did have a short further catch up and maybe next year can work it out better as it was great to see her and chill out together...

There was a scheduled recovery day on Monday for maybe a little bit more shopping or sight seeing but it rained so so hard that we stayed inside all day except for a very short excursion...the Human worked a bit more on her Some Kind of Wonderful quilt that she had also been stitching each evening...it had come on holiday as strips and pieces and by the time we left Katoomba it looked like this...

We left Katoomba on Tuesday morning to start on our way to a very exciting destination...
