get ready for some photos...

Today I spent a lovely day with the Kilmore Quilters at their quilt in. They were a very friendly bunch and so welcoming and generous. There was mountains of food to graze on and keep our sugar levels and strength up! We also received a gift on arrival, a wonderful zipped pouch and when I had to leave a little early one of the committee made sure I received a door prize before leaving.

Liz (from village quilters) had invited me to come and I sat with her and Rosalie and we had a great time.
I also got to catch up with Annette from Jindi's cottage and some other people I knew.
Marg Low had set up her beautiful wares and I was tempted by some lovely red and cream/white fabrics. Compensation for not having been able to attend the Quilts in the Barn exhibition. Speaking of which....wonderful Elyte sent me a secret surprise in the mail to make up for not having made it to the exhibition too.
It was such a pleasant surprise from a very thoughtful friend.
So what about the photos....
goodies from Elyte... I had so wanted one of these badges when I saw them on the Quilts in the barn blog, lucky me and a sweet tissue holder in beautiful fabrics.



  My Marg Low inspirational fabrics, at a bargain price too!

But wait there's more...
Some new hexies have been blooming in my garden thanks to a parcel that arrived from the Netherlands from my friend Els.
She said she would send some novelty fabrics and she sent me a huge pile! they are lovely. I just had to cut into some of them straight away, so roll the film...
 love Snow White and the six dwarves......

 the tally for novelty hexies is now 53.
Last but not least, the hexies I had prepped up to finish at Kilmore.

Add them to the list.
A great day topped of with a lovely dinner with some family.
Here's to friends and family!
Happy days
cheers

  12. You have had a wonderful weekend. When you do eventually sew all your novelty hexies together, there will be a tale to tell about every flower. It will become a hexie story quilt. Snow White and the Six dwarves? Fairy tales revisited.
    Love your red and white fabrics, glad to see the concept continuing.

  23. You've been busy. But by far the cutest thing on your blog is puppy in the next post, or should I say puppies. Having lost both our "boys" this year we are without doggy companions now and very much the worse for it. The house is so empty. We are trying to be very strong, but any sight of a puppy is very tempting, especially a very cute one, with muddy paws.
