Well I hope all fellow West Aussies survived the weather we had the past couple of days. Lightening strikes, Thunder, Rain and Floods. Tuesday morning we had a very quick Lightening storm pass through. I was sitting crocheting in the family room waiting to go to the Crochet Group Christmas Wind-up when BANG. Lightening struck a tree in the neighbours back yard. A Transformer at the top of our block also blew up. Power was off and on during the day. Our hard drive didn't want to work. Later on that evening we tried it again and luckily all was OK. I think something must have clicked off and come back when full power was restored. The next day we had 18.5mls of rain within a few minutes. It certainly was welcome here, Ian had just fertilised the lawn on the weekend so we have a lovely green lawn. Though some places down south didn't fair so well. Once town had over 200 mls in the day.
With the weird weather going on I managed to finish a few projects.
I saw the quote a while back and took note of it in my little black book (aka a piece of scrap paper) and made up a table runner. The roses on display are a David Austin called "Mary Rose". Now the binding may not go exactly with the front but it goes so well with the backing. See I made it reversible without realising.
I have been going through all those Tutorials and Patterns that I have had saved. I actually deleted a heap, how many quilts bags etc is a woman to make. One pattern I did keep was Terrie's Make-up Bag Tutorial.
As usual family members are continuing to come and go here at Kainga.
I hope you enjoy the weekend.
Happy days.

lovely rose topper. Glad you survived the storm. Lightning is great as long as it isn't too close.
Your hankies look great and it is good to see the cotton is being used and not sitting in a box in my cupboard.
Great zipper bags!
Sounds like crazy weather you are having!! Good luck!
Lovely to see your projects. The runner is great and I do like the make-up bag. Lovely stitching.

There's so much different weather going on isn't there Bev...you never know what to expect! I tried to learn crochet once. Good finishes there!
You know I just love the roses you show. What a beautiful quote to the rose quilt.
