Anzac Day and a little Stitching from Romany Quilting

Anzac morning dawned calm, clear and crisp. I took myself out for a short walk. The ranges are snow free today, but just a couple of days ago, they were covered in snow. Sadly, I didn't get a photo then.

Anzac Day (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) is celebrated on April 25th and is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand commemorating all those who served and died in war.

Anzac Day in Sanson from Romany Quilting

Anzac Day unites Kiwis everywhere, both home and abroad, remembering those service men and women who fought to protect us during times of war, often paying the ultimate sacrifice. We are on a weekend caravan club rally at Mt Lees Scenic Reserve, and four of us drove down to Sanson to attend the Anzac Day service this morning. The first part of the service was held by the War Memorial, and the band came marching towards us.

Blue Selvedge Sewing, and Anzac Day from Romany Quilting

The month is rolling on and I’ve completed my last lot of blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. This month the colour is light/bright blue and I've been working on my two selvedge projects. Quite simple sewing, I’ve made a blue selvedge block which will join the other colours to eventually become a bag. And another little selvedge spool block – I’m making this to hang in my sewing room (spare bedroom in reality).

Last blue blocks for the month

Wonder what colour will be chosen for May? Guess we will just have to wait and ...
