It’s my birthday celebrations and gifts.
Well another year has come and gone.
I have had many celebrations over the past week or two for my birthday. I am so lucky to have lovely friends and family.
I received a beautiful bunch of flowers from my work.
A lovely charm for my bracelet, earrings from my beautiful daughter, grandsons and SIL.
And they were beautifully packaged in this gold tin and bag
Some lovely fat 1/4’s from my friend in Mildura. I’ll definitely use these neutrals in my quilts. Love them.
Not only was it my special birthday but it was our anniversary and we got a lovely bottle of bubbles to enjoy. So I had to use my new glass.

Travelling home and our lunch stop at Werrimull
Once we left the caravan park we took a photo of the silo art.
The amazing Yabby
Then we decided to go home via Werrimull hotel.
We stopped there for lunch. It recently has new custodians and the meals were delicious.
Known as VICTORIA’S MOST OUTBACK PUB.

It was my birthday and I celebrated with friends
Our Saturday was a great day sewing with new friends. Then it was dinner time where we gathered for a simple dinner. So I thought.
My friends had organised little cakes to sing happy birthday to me. It was fun.

Waikerie sew in day and my raffle win
We had a great day sitting, sewing, shopping, listening and learning. Then going through all the raffle prizes. Yes, there were 120 of them…..
So many times the number called was either side of my ticket.
Some people on our table won a few prizes. Colleen got drawn, collected her prize then she was drawn again. She kindly said I could claim the prize as I hadn’t won anything yet and it was my birthday coming up. She is so kind.
Then we got to nearly the end and everyone was just wanting it to finish. My number was drawn for 2nd prize. Wow what a gift. Here is what I got.
An A4 light box, a table runner pattern, a $25.00 gift voucher for a local store (so I have to go back for a visit)
And a beautiful little quilt.
This quilt will now be a gift for a work colleague who has recently had a premie baby girl. Even though itis blue the butterflies are suited for a little girl.

Wakierie SA Sew in day
A few of us went to Waikerie from our Mildura group. I also met up with Judy and Pat from Bordertown.
We had a great day of sewing, chatting, show n tell and lots of shopping too. When we arrived we were greeted with a goodie bag. This was a nice shopping bag, a Riverland tourism book, a great plastic project bag and a wrist strap with a link to attach keys/phone. We were very lucky.
There were about 120 ladies that attended. It was a great day.

Lock 1 Blanchtown and Waikerie
While we had some spare time in Waikerie we went for a drive to Blanchtown.
The start of the locks in South Australia and the Murray River.
We have decided to use this as a reason to go away of a weekend.
I’m still trying to find out how many there actually are. Here are some different maps and charts. It may take us a while but it is a reason to get out and about.
So here we start
