Quilting Time!

This morning some technicians came to visit and informed us that we can't get TV signals from either Western Victoria or Melbourne here. If we want TV we will have to have a satellite dish. Add that to the NBN guys who came last week and informed us that there is no signal here from the NBN tower at the end of the road, so if we want internet we might have to wait until the new NBN satellite is commissioned in 18 months.

Fortunately I've got plenty of things to occupy my time beside TV and broadband internet. There's unpacking to do, for a start. But Ballaarat Quilters' quilt show is on soon (at the end of the month) and I've entered three quilts in the show. That includes the one that members of the guild basted for me recently, which I haven't quilted yet. So this afternoon I spent some time with my Sweet Sixteen making a start on the quilting:


It's not a large quilt. Hopefully I'll have it quilted and bound well before the show.

Lovely and bright. Sometimes a break from technology is a peaceful time and quilting can pass that time away.
