FNSI

Last night I only made a small project but it took ALL evening to complete.

After stitching her together it was time to turn her inside out.  


    

                               
Arms stuffed. Now to do the body and stitch the arms on.

Nice dress, next shoes, undies and of course wings.

                                          
Now for some hair and a halo!

OH !! Don't forget the face.

Quilt Hanging Part 3

DD2 and I were up at 5.30am on Sunday.After a quick cuppa it was off to hang the quilts and do the last minute touch ups on the displays.



On the drive to the Priory I was a little concerned at the black sky and the pretty rainbow!!!





           The quilts are all on the hangers .                         
So now the men will help us put the rest on ropes strung across from one balcony to another.




I see someone is having a coffee break. :)

There are some vintage cars for the men and markets for everyone.
The Blue and White Quilt in the background and the Butterfly one next to it are our raffle quilts.





                                   
So many Quilts and so many people.

Even my friends The Red Hatters came for a visit.



Awesome Xmas display.

Tiny "Lilliput"
Kid's display.



There were lots of bags and a cross stitch display and sooooooooo much more but the battery in my camera went flat. :(
To see many more lovely photos pop over to

P.S. We did have a few showers but for the rest of the time it was just perfect.

Quilt Hanging Part 1

Last Thursday a few ladies from The Patch went out to the property where our quilt hangers are stored in a shed.
It was a lovely day for a drive and we had fun opening and closing gates so the cattle would not escape.


                                     
Later in the day I had most of my quilts packed ready to take to the club rooms for sorting.



 All our ladies were keep very busy getting the quilts into the right bags also pinning the wall hangings and table runners onto sheets. All ready now to take to the Priory for the Hanging on Sunday.
                            


                               We can all go home now and relax till Saturday.
