Well we put the information out last night and it has filled very quickly..............

So a spontaneous idea at the workshop on the weekend grew very fast..........

bit of a muck around with some of the accommodation but we are sorted.........

I cannot wait..........

We meet up with Maureen at a random park along the way (as I mentioned last post)............

ate to much food.......

enjoyed wonderful company........

actually used a sewing machine........again......

ate more food...........

took my partner in crime all things quilty........

chopped fabric for Susan and myself........

more food.........chocolate mug cake and macadamia icecream..........
channeled Janet...........please note a tiny ruler........
although the pieces maybe to big for her liking..........I may also regret this when I start to size them up......

came home a day earlier then planned and missed a sleep over with Annette.........

Also enjoyed 2 inches of rain and hoping for a few more - lets see if we can fill the dam...........unbelievably we have rain forecast for the next week..........it is possible.....

Have a great weekend..........

I'll be watching the grass grow.......It's a sight to behold..........

Catch you later.....

Well the posts didn't happen again until yesterday..........Thursday was a big day.........packing the car up and heading off..........I was to tired Friday after work to make sense of words.........

love the old milk drums........

nearly forgot to add this top in that I made........I loved this panel and when I saw it at the shop I had to get it..........

so we met Susan and Maureen there and had morning tea on the way home...........

I've never been to a Christmas shop and it was gorgeous..........

Since we had some quilt tops finished and he was on the road we stopped in and checked out Jacksons new shop.....He only had his official opening a few weeks ago in his new a bigger building..........House of Jackson...........We also caught up with Annette there.........got talking to much and forgot to take a photo..........

we stopped too much on the way home, caught every red light on the roads works and we were a bit to late but it was a great day...........Miss Jules pick up was not where he was supposed to be so 40 mins later I had dropped her off.......

It was just on 11pm when I crawled into bed..........but so worth the effort.........

numerous delicious food options and meals with friends........6 patchwork shops (some 2-3 times) and 1600kms later we arrived home and hadn't doubled over any roads...........

with the success of my first block I made another one..........

Wine and nibbles was enjoyed...........

We had some delicious lunches out...........

Of course I was with Sandi and Helen so I had to have coffee and cake............
