Month: September 2012

I spent a great day on Saturday with 70 women at the Stitch in Spring hosted by Linda from Gum Valley Patchwork. Lenora Jenkins was also a tutor on the day and we had just the best time! (If you go to Lenora's blog and Linda's blog there are more photos!!)

Linda made these gorgeous goody bags, filled with all sorts of yumminess…..including the most divine chocolate!!

The ladies were all very keen to get started and also to shop!! My projects were a Christmas wall hanging with some cheeky elves and a little pocket folder appliqued with wool.You can see pictures on Linda's blog. They are almost ready for release!

Stay tuned for some VERY EXCITING news….

Have a great sunny Wednesday..

Cheers

On Friday I packed my bags and flew to Queensland to be a tutor at The Stitcher's Dream Day Out in Highfields. Marion from The Quilter's Angel hosts this event every year and it is a fantastic workshop!! Natalie Bird and Nikki Tervo were also teaching with me.

Natalie, Marion, Nikki and I (being a bit silly!!)

It was a fantastic weekend and one of the best things is meeting lots of lovely ladies!

I have only spoken to Kris via blogs and email so it was very exciting that I got to meet her!! (and she will be one of the tutors in March!!)

there was a lot of show and tell, it is always very inspiring to see what the ladies have made from our patterns.

here is Leane with her version of "Angels sewing basket"

and Maree with her pincushion "red cottage" made especially for the weekend!!

This is the room before it filled up, it looked gorgeous!!

thanks to Marion and all the girls who came, it was fun!!

I am off down to Simpson on Friday for a workshop on Saturday with Lenora. It will be fun to catch up with Linda who always puts on a great event!!

Now back to work!!

Cheers
