May challenge is to work on Lucy Boston. That is great as I have so many other things going on at the moment . My dream is to get this far one day.

Then and Now

I just had to share this of my granddaughter

The day care centre she first went to still has her photo on the fence . She saw it the other day. growing up too fast .




Onto the next Retreat- Scrub Stitching

 I am so blessed to be able to go to Scrub Stitch’n each year, now a 5 day retreat , well 4 1/2 anyway.  It’s great , lots of ladies I have known many for years now. Then there is often a newbie or two and the range in ages makes it even better . Women enjoying friendship and quilting.  Thanks to Chookyblue for the organisation. This year I shared with my quilting buddy Gail. It was so good for a couple of golden oldies to return I loved seeing Kate and Sandy at retreat again . Not that they are old but they were there in the beginning. 

The theme was “ Winter Wonderland in the Warrumbungles “ Dress up and dinner party night is always fun as is sharing the quilts at show and tell. 

I worked on ‘Sunshine and Lollipops ‘  by Annie Downs using Tilda Jubilee fabric. It was slow work as these sort of quilts are. This year I decided to enjoy the company and not rush to finish quilts .Enjoy the quilts made by the ladies who attended and the dress up night photos. Sorry not every one is not captioned.

With Kylie and Donna
