About Me- Bird on the Border

My Photo
We have a wonderful son who has just married and I now have a wonderful daughter in law. So nice to have another girl in the family. My wonderful husband and I both work full time. We enjoy travelling ,going in our caravan, dining out and spending time with friends and visiting our children. Oh shouldn't forget "Tess" the spoilt black kelpie. I love anything country and Shabby Chic and I love patchwork and stitching and getting together with like minded ladies who love to do the same. I love catching up with friends over a cup of coffee , and the smell of biscuits cooking in the oven on a rainy day. I enjoy keeping in touch with friends I have met through blogging and sharing our sewing on line. I love going off on stitching retreats and quilting weekends with my quilting buddy Gail. And of course I love the birds in my garden. I also write the blog for our local quilt group Macintyre Quilters.

Thank You Secret Santa

It  was wonderful to receive this beautiful gift for Christmas . Thank you Grethe ( a quilt lady) from Norway. I just love it . I travel a lot so this will be excellent to carry my shoes.

Sorry about the photography I just have to put my big camera in to be fixed.

I just love it

Beautiful stitching







Thanks again Grethe and thank you Chooky for organising the swap. This is my second time and it has been just great. It's so nice to be connected to the other side of the world.
