Airing of the Quilts

Country music playing and adding more atmosphere to the parade, they were certainly happy chaps and looked as though they were throughly enjoying themselves.







A display of vintage sewing machines and I found out how old my green Singer was as there was the exact one sitting on a shelf and it was made 1958. I am amazed at how smooth my one glides across the fabric and she is 12 years older then me!







A patchwork from the Quilters of Northampton, United Kingdom was also on display.



The glorious hot sun shone so brightly all day and we took shelter in the shade of the big gums along they way.






I look forward to visiting Northampton next year for the Airing of the Quilts.

Airing of the Quilts

Saturday was Airing of the Quilts in Northampton WA so off we went on a 40 minute journey slightly inland. It was very warm and dry there and like a step back in time for me. The shops looked as though they had not changed from the era in which they were built, worn wooden floors, pressed tin ceilings and coloured glass panels above the doors and windows it was just delightful. The main street with it's parades of stores with tin bull nose verandahs and each had quilts strung outside. The old convent's verandah's were lined on both levels and the wonderful gum trees out the front had ropes strung with more perfect patchwork creations.











The old rusty gates to the convent were so lovely I thought you might like to see them too.

Two Brothers One Table

I wanted a nice big table but have been unable to find one suitable in the secondhand shops here in Geraldton even the garage sales didn't turn one up for us. So my clever Husband decided to make me a table big enough for me to work and paint on as well being able to use it for entertaining. Having never made a table before he set too with lengths of wood and four turned legs, and a very limited number of tools mainly borrowed from his brother Geoffery. Much to Christians delight Geoffery turned up to lend a hand and the two of them spent a couple of hours in the garage hammering and chiseling away and I must say what a wonderful job they had done and what a fabulous table I now have. It will stay with us forever as it was made by the 'Two Brothers'.
