Trying something new


Trying something new

It's too wet here today for gardening, but I wanted to capture the tiger lilly buds before they opened. Can you just see them there. I will show you again when they open. I think my slippers must have a crack in the bottom, as I now have wet socks!
Not that I'm complaining - thinking of all those people in QLD. They'll have more than wet socks. I can't imagine, but am locked into the news.
This is the view out my new back glass door today.
Last week I got this panel from Ballarat Patchwork.
I didn't know quite what to do, but after a visit from a friend the other day, she convinced me to step out of my comfort zone and try something new.
I have been experimenting with all my "fancy" stitches on my sewing machine and changing the length and width, and then doing some machine applique.
A bit of fun really - not sure what it's going to be yet, but I'll keep you posted.
