I started this one at the ‘sit and sew’ stations at QuiltWest two weekends ago, and finished it last weekend. I’ve been super busy at work, so it’s taken all week to get the photos taken and posted.
Just a simple heart and loop motif for this one, to match the blue appliqued hearts. All stitched in a white cotton thread (I think I use white Bobbinfil on the top and bottom).
A week or so ago we had a lunar perigee, where the moon is the closest to Earth. Around that time as I was driving into town I noticed that the tide was exceptionally high in the estuary… almost to the road. Here are some photos taken from the car (yes, I pulled over but I didn’t get out):
Update 24 June 2013: Last night was the ‘supermoon’, and today when I came back from town around noon, the high tide was lapping the road in parts and had made inroads into some of the car parks and tracks into the estuary. Again, all pictures were taken from the car, when I was stopped.
Note in the last photo that the tide isn’t just on the estuary side — it also raises the water level in the low-lying parts of the other side of the road.
