So so wet

we have received 107mm of rain since 9am

we received 76.2mm of rain between midnight and 9 am

its very soggy indeed.

and apparently there is more rain on the way

I didn't shut the lounge room/dining room windows last

night before I went to bed so when dh got up he had to do a

spot of mopping, oops, Henrys little quilt had to go into the

dryer, dh's laptop got a wash too, but its all ok and working

fine and Miss Emma's doona got an unexpected wash, so we

lit the fire to dry it out, it may have been chilly outside but

it was toasty warm inside :)

 the bright side of all that rain is its perfect guilt

free sewing time

not that I go to do much of that today

dh and I went to Merimbula in the rain this morning

to get some backing fabric for my in the garden quilt,

some floss for the last button club wall hanging

'Christmas Fun'

some new blue washaway clover pens (I bought 3)

and a crappy white pen for dark fabric

some fabric to bind a quilt that I bought home

to quilt on Frank for mum and

umbrellas for the girlies

and a short expensive trip to Woolies for a few groceries

and I mean a few, $150 later we were on our way home

so dh could go to work and I could do the

 washing, prepped some more centres for my hexagon quilt

and cut out some more white fabric ready for tomorrow when I

get to sew up a storm making some more hexies,

and I want to prep the first button block ready for tomorrow night

bloody stupid football is on so I am downstairs for the evening......

and I ordered season 1 of Lark Rise to Candleford at Sanity

it was a great way to spend a miserable day :)

13 Down & Photos of a finish

110 to go

yep 110 hexagons left to stitch and applique the

centres on for my Kaleidscope Hexagon quilt

the 13 that I have finished

the box beside the couch with 20 waiting to have their

centres stitch on

and a close up of the ones that are finished

and what the final result should look like, but I prefer straight edges so

I am thinking I will make a few half hexies so it will be square-ish

It's very overcast and a bit chilly today so this is where

you will find Henrycat if you come looking for him.

This is his quilt, he will only sit sleep on the couch if this

is pulled off the back for him, last night we had to pull ot down

so he would eat his ice cream.

We don't think we are going to get the 40-80mm of rain today they are predicting

the 'big' rains are further north, Bega the lucky town with Big W (45mins away) is on flood watch

but we are in for some biggish rain over the next 5 days.

Perfect sewing weather really.

I was just emailing Kris with my OPAM finishes for Jan/Feb when I realised

I hadn't put up any photos of Mums chemo quilt all finished

a close up of the quilting

and the backing, I LOVE the backing fabric
