well the holidays have come to a sreeching halt, back to work unfortunately.
The holidays have been wonderful. Lots of visits with friends and family have been the highlights.
My last holiday fling was a day spent with the country girls from the noisy table.
My partners in crime Elyte, Robyn, Anne and I headed off to Gisborne to be met at the beautiful patchwork shop by Sue .(We were missing Annie one of the usual subjects who was absent due to having to work. )
We spent a lot of time there and we were even met by the lovely Irene Blanck. I didn't have my camera so only got one pic of Irene and myself, we're BFF's you know.
(I work with Irene's sil and we love to tease her with a pic when we meet.)
these were my purchases for the day and they only jumped into my bag at the last minute...
The Patchnquilt shop is amazing and well worth a visit.. I have my eye on some lovely blues that will be coming home with me next time.
The convoy then hit the road and we arrived at Tracee's house which was a treat in itself. All her gorgeous quilts hanging around her home were amazing!
Such a warm welcome and the wonderful hospitality of Tracee, Sue, Tania and Marg was a pleasure. Thankyou so much for having us!
We had an afternoon full of laughing and chatting and eating of course we even discussed and compared our dancing styles.
I don't think I will argue with Shez at all when she accuses us of being the noisy table next Ballan get together!
As I didn't have my camera I will pinch my favourites from Tracee and Sue's blogs....
How special to share such fun times with such beautiful women, thanks girlies..
Now you might ask, did the Australian Flag get done in time?
Well...... sort of...... I worked on quilting it every spare moment on Australia Day, and then continued on the Australia Day holiday........and by the afternoon the binding was on and it was done.
Now for the pics...
of course.
Hope you all have a wonderful week, I am sure I am in for a tiring week. The predicted hot temps are definitely not going to help.
cheers for now
