What a great weekend!!!!

I had a great weekend in Nowra...
Here I am with the lovely and funny Rosalie Quinn.
I was able to see her beautiful new fabric that apparently is coming out in October. Unfortunately I didn't win any... very sad.
Here is the project that I was working on... this is Rosalie's.


Here I am with the lovely Leanne Beasley. I am currently working on her Down in the Garden quilt. It was nice to see her quilt in the fresh!!

This is the funny Natalie Ross and Mr Pickle (long story). She came as a student!!!

I was also able to meet the beautiful Sarah from Quilt Fabric Delights and her sister Susan.

Anyway, happy quilting

Patchwork retreat and new addition to the family

Today I went for a nice drive with my girlfriend down to Bowral. There are three lovely patchwork shops there.... lots of shopping.
Yes... a new addition to the family. His name is Charlie and as you can see my son just LOVES him.
Also this weekend I am going on another patchwork retreat in Nowra. This year I will be meeting Leanne Beasley and Rosalie Quinlan. Very excited!!! Dropping into Berry on the way down to check out more patchwork shops and for lunch.

So have a great weekend,
Happy quilting

My first swap....

I am in my first swap - Quilting Gallery - Applique Posy Needle Case swap. This is the first time I actually made something in a swap. I have been in other swaps but only sent material etc...
It's on it way to America!! I hope Melinda likes it. I actually made three as I wasn't happy with the first two I made!!!!!


Anyway, happy quilting
