We arrived back home yesterday morning from our trip. It was great to get away but its always nice to get back home again.
This month is purple for RSC and I had a lot of purple scraps. I had made some of my RSC Carolina Chain blocks for the month before I went away so yesterday I finished them up.
Then I made some two inch strips with the remaining purple scraps which I can make into 4 patches later.
Heres a few more pics from our holiday. We spent a lovely day in the Warrumbungles National Park. Stunning views, very peaceful and quiet. Lots of birds and lots of kangaroos about enjoying the sunshine.
We also visited Milroy Observatory in Coonabarbran and had a great night looking at the stars under the full moon after a stunning sunset.
I love being in the bush in Australia. Can't wait to go up here again next year. Now its time to get on with more decluttering and making a start on some of the jobs around the house

Great job on the purple RSC blocks! I enjoyed your vacay photos, too!
I've enjoyed your pictures of your trip. I'd love to be able to see those places in person, but settling for tagging along. Your quilt pieces are lovely. Retirement is suiting you well.
Gorgeous sunset and moon photos! We got to feed the kangaroos at Caversham Wildlife Park in WA.
Oh wow!!! those photos are amazing! What a beautiful place !! and all those kangaroos!!!!
Your pictures are glorious. And, you've captured them with wonderful color and framing, so to speak. I can see some of the sunset to evening pictures becoming quilts. And, I have to wonder what the baby roo (or maybe he is a teenager?) looking for in mom's pouch. More food?

I just love all the blocks you make.
thanks Bonnie, the orange and purple colours in the sunset is not a combination I would have ever thought of, so they might be good in a quilt together one day. That little joey was putting his head in and out of mums pouch for quite a while- probably having a drink of milk I think.
I need to cut scraps for a quilt.
Beautiful photos from your trip! I made a Carolina Chain quilt a few years ago, and it is one of my favourites.
Welcome home and thanks for sharing those gorgeous photos!!
