I was in Dubbo last week with my mother in law Norma. While she was in town visiting her optometrist we visited a couple of 'op shops' and I found these! Very happy with the little indigo cotton jacket, soon to become part of my boro quilt. I love the fasteners and I will find a place for those in my quilt I think.Found lots of little lace doilies and lovely embroidered pieces for 25 cents each. I have a couple of projects in mind for these.
My friend Maureen has just returned from a visit to India...this is one of the many beautiful quilts she bought home with her. Such lovely fabrics and details.
There was such a beautiful sky the other night, so I thought I would share it with you. The clouds seemed much brighter and pinker in real life, so lucky to live in such a beautiful area.

Your owls must bring a lot of joy to those you send them to! How beautiful is that quilt! It looks like a vintage piece.....which makes it even more beautiful.
Hi Jacky, lovely little owl for Robin. I love the one you made for me. He lives in my sewing basket. What a great find from Dubbo's op-shops. I love country op-shops - Hugs Nat
Oh wow, your owl is adorable! I'm sitting here with piles of fabric and being inspired by your cute one!
What a cute little fellow your owl is. You found some real treasures at the op shop.
I love your little owls so much Jacky, they are always full of colour and character. The quilt your friend got in India is gorgoeous and op shopping is a fav of mine. A suburb near my own has 5 in one street and always full of treasures but finding the time to get them is not always easy ;) Belinda xxx
Hi Jacky - those stitched pieces were a bargain. Pieces getting more pricey here but then Dubbo really is the back of beyond I guess. The owl is just lovely. Thanks for all your comments. Your encouragement is always welcome. Take care. Philippa

Well I was trying my hardest to avoid your blog and taking a sneak peek, but I couldn't resist any longer! I love this little guy--absolutely adorable and I can't wait til he arrives! Great quilt too--that should provide lots of inspiration. I'm off to sit by the mailbox. :)
