By Saturday evening I had put together my Jelly Roll top
built a few houses and pinned a quilt ready to Stipple.
Sunday I got my first border with flange on
Pieced another Kid’s Charity Top. ( very easy)
and managed to FMQ a third of my other Jelly Roll Quilt in the evening.
While travelling I also stitched some flowers.
Linda dropped me off at home Monday afternoon .
A big thank you to my lovely driver/room mate and all the ladies for a relaxing fun weekend.
After a good nights sleep DH and I were off Tuesday morning to Perth for my DD2’s Surprise 40th Dinner.
We did have a lot of laughs collecting her special cake with DD1
and DD2 was very surprised to see us all on her special birthday..
Happy Birthday Sandra.
Early in the morning it was back home again……… so you can see why I have done so many Kms …….
