in the “Big Smoke” going to see
on Saturday.
catching up with my sisters on Sunday.
Had a fabulous time chatting and reminiscing.
Shopping, playing games and just spending time with my girls….
Wednesday went to the craft show with DD2. We never seem to have enough time when we go there. Maybe need to go two days next year..
Here are a few of the fabulous quilts that the talented folk had on display..
This beautiful one was quilted on a domestic machine..
Jocelyn Leath makes gorgeous art quilts
I did like the Aussie themed ones.
This is the stash I come home with…
Can’t show all in detail as some will be swap and Christmas gifts..
While there I did try to do some sewing but the furry assistant decided to help…
Tove did make it difficult for me to lay out my blocks so I thought I would catch up on some blog and e-mail reading…….WRONG!!!!!!
Just Watching….
a little closer
what’s that
where did that cursor go ????
Ah !!! nearly got it.
"What you doing Tove ????"
“Who me ?? Nothing !!!!!! Would I do anything….."
Will show you the lovely goodies that where waiting for me on my return on my next post.
Hugz, Maria
