Spring has sprung!!

Hi everyone,
This weekend has been glorious weather-wise. Beautiful sunshine, hardly a breeze and to top it off a quilt show to attend. South Coast and Country Quilter's held their bi-annual quilt show this weekend at Bateman's Bay Soldiers Club. What a setting and what a show. Unfortunately for you girls I forgot the camera. Sitting on the kitchen bench at home. There were lots of very visually stunning quilts and I came home with a couple of purchases. Will show next post.

I had some sad news through the week, a close girlfriend was diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) a debilitating disease that affects the nervous system. She is now at home recuperating so I thought I would make her a quilt. What do you think?

It's just the top for now.....will have to wait and go to work to pick some borders and backing. Will be visiting her in a couple of weeks when school holidays start here in NSW. Will have to get my finger out and have it finished. Luckily its an all over design and will not take long to quilt on my friends qulting frame.

After the show today I came home and have started another stitchery for a bag I plan to make. Oh by the way, I have now finished my stitching angel projects.....here's the last

So it's off to Holland in the next day or two.

Cheers everyone. Hope your weekend was as special as mine!
