I'm home again after the second part of my holidays, visiting my parents in Adelaide. I spent 8 days relaxing with them, doing a little shopping, driving Mum and Dad around and helping with the cooking. I made the most of the time and did quite a bit of stitching on my hexagon tablecloth, completing another row and having Mum help with the layout of the colours for the next row.
I was with them for Father's Day, for the first time in many years, so it was special. We went out for dinner on the Monday following the day to a lovely Chinese restaurant only 5 minutes from their home.

In the few days between my trip north with hubby and the trip to Adelaide, I washed and pressed all the batiks I bought on the trip so they are ready for use when I get time to start on Love Entwined.

I also came home to see my orchid in full bloom, such a lovely sight. It usually lives on the kitchen windowsill, but I've moved it into the lounge room so I can admire it while the flowers last.

During the time I was cleaning up a few bits and pieces, I came across 2 small quilts that had been taken down from the wall when we put up the new photo frames, Pushka made in 1997 and Periwinkle made in 2008. I've added details of them to My Quilts page.
