Sirromet Winery


What a lovely relaxing day we all had together at the Sirromet Winery yesterday....
it was Heather's birthday earlier in the week so she organised a family get together and it was just great to enjoy time with extended family and friends as well.

It was in the afternoon so cheese platters and wine was the order of the day.




I should have taken better photos but these will just have to do.

I'm  not a wine girl so coffee and cake will have to do.......

First finish for August

I have just finished Gavan's new quilt for his chair, it was time to retire the old one.
Its from a book called "If Quilts Could Talk" by Whimsicals.
"Trick of the Cards"



I'm  very pleased with this quilt....
even if it's  taken me way too long to finish
but alls well that ends well.
