Sewing and Snowing Weekend !

A few days until the 'official' start of summer and this is what greeted us as we arrived at our highlands shack on Thursday night.  Snow and one of the coldest nights I have spent at the shack in a long while.  Hard to believe that we were shivering in this weather while the mainland states were being ravaged by bushfires and extremely high temperatures.

 We had just got everything unpacked from the car and it started snowing again quite heavy, snowed a little more overnight and it was all gone by Friday lunchtime.  Saturday was a nice sunny warm spring day (as it should be).

I had made this Santa Sack with matching Bib as a Christmas present and had another to make over the weekend.  I just need to get the name sewn onto that sack and they will be in the post to Canberra.

 My weekend sewing at the shack was lots of flying geese, foundation pieced in long strips.  Wonder what they will be used for...stay tuned !

 I also managed to make another two blocks for this ongoing scrap log cabin quilt which is pinned to the 'design wall'.  I hope to get this one finished over the Christmas/New Year break.

This is our first pick of this season's strawberries and raspberries.  The raspberry canes are full of fruit waiting to ripen so there should be ample for Christmas celebrations and raspberry jam.

Happy sewing !
