Heading to the Gold Coast

It has turned bitterly cold here in the last couple of weeks but we are heading to the Gold coast for the weekend and I am hoping its a bit warmer there. I am taking my applique with me. I have attatched the striped border with mitred coners around the centre applique and marked in the scallops. Now I need to applique them. Then there needs to be about 6 more birds placed in the gaps.
I probably won't get anything done but I always take some handstitching with me just in case!
