What a Week

What a Week,

I feel like I haven't caught up from the weekend. The shop has been really busy and classes too. How do we fit it all in? Luckily I love what I do and that makes up for it. (that's what I keep telling myself anyway)

This is my mum (Robyn) she is the best mum in the world. She puts up with alot from me and the shop, and never complains (to me anyway) She also looks after my nan. She taught me to sew but I teach her now (ha,ha) I bet you never thought your daughter would be able to service your machine, hey mum. Thanks for always being there.

Just look at this Quilt. It is so beautiful, Meryl has done a great job, And Jan Foster for her Quilting ,it just takes my breath away.I love mixing Patchwork with Machine Embroidery.

And Marilyn's Quilt. Well what can I say, just looking at it speaks for itself. Jan also quilted this one. What a talented Lady. This is not done with embroidery thread, just normal polyester construction thread. Makes it look more antique. Just Beautiful. It's wonderful to have these ladies in my classes ,I really look forward to seeing them and what they have done next.

Well ,more photo's from the retreat. Irene won a bag that was made by Suzanne. Josie and I won some Handmade Fairies. They are so cute. Cosima made them. Thanks girls for making those for some of our prizes.

Meryl and Me

Ena Won a prize for the first person to finish a project. YOU GO GIRL. Leanne finished one of her bags. That looks like a good one for the Bag Club. Thanks Leanne. We have formed a committee for all our retreats. Deb Dafter, Robyn Dowse and Ena Green, will be the ladies that will organise Retreats so if anyone has any idea's please let them know. Lyn Colley organised this years retreat but she is going to be a little busy with the Central Coast quilt show next year so we will give her a break. Thanks for this year Lyn it was GREAT.

I haven't Planned any workshops for the Month of April as it is school holidays and Easter (yah,5 days off in a row) and it will come and go really fast. So we'll use it as a catch up month. All the ladies I spoke to this week agreed. BUT, be ready for May because there is alot planned Diamond and Topaz Club, Software Days, Bag of the month, Overlocker Day and if that isn't enough the guild has a Monica Poole workshop Day and Fabric Dying Day.

I feel tried just writing that.

Anyway, till next time
