Afterwards I waddled over to my sewing ( I was sew full after a lovely luncheon and then Birthday cake) and worked on doing these colourful blocks for a quilt designed by Allison from Cluck Cluck Sew
and later after packing up my machine I sat and cut some of the Aussie Animals from Toni's "Down Under Quilt" before it was time to pack and go home.
Mother Kanga and Joey...
and my "Tassie Devil"
Love all Toni 's designs and I'm getting these ready to work on at our Annual Retreat at Toodyay at the end of August.
I read about joining Lorna for "Bee Social" and decided it would bee fun to met some new blogging friends.
Must away to make a Milo and do a little stitching on my "Angel." before bed.
Happy Stitching,
Hugz Maria XX
