Available at Gum Valley Patchwork , gorgeous fabrics!!!

Had a little flood in my new office after the heaviest rain from Cyclone Yasi (so they say).  I hate to think how it was up in Far North Queensland. All good though, just a little damage, nothing compared to Queensland, so I am very lucky.

Hope you are all getting some time to stitch now that the kids are back at school! I have lots of things on the go, so many ideas!! It's nice to sit down at the end of the day and relax with some stitching!

have a good week and don't forget to leave a comment to win!

Cheers

Gail

  60. Oh how wonderfully generous of you again Gail! Yes please, I will be in the draw for sure thankyou. Good to see that your flood experience wasn’t too bad and you are safe and well. Angel hugs.

  62. Gail, I was up at Mrs Martins today & i must say your ‘BERRIES & BLUEBIRDS’ is absolutely spectacular in real life (nothing against your photographic skills)

  64. Hi Gail,
    cyclone pruned the tops of the trees that I couldn’t reach…. just disappointed that I had obligations and couldn’t take full advantage of the time….still got wet season time ahead of me though…..

  66. Pleased you didn’t get much flood damage. Up north it was interesting waiting for a cyclone to hit and stitching just to keep a little relaxed. Your patters are always lovely.
