So much to talk about.... busy me.

Hi Girls....

 

Busy, busy, busy.

 

This is the cushion I sent to Megan in Khristina's Friends Swap.

A "Friendship" cushion

 

 

Back in September I travel to Nowra to attend a retreat with Anni Downs. 

This was my birthday present from my mum.

She is the one in the blue....lol.

 

Here is some of her work... but I can't show you her project we worked on...

until she release it next year.

 

Then in October, up to the mountains I went.... another retreat.

A Christmas theme retreat.

This is Michelle Marvig Christmas cushion.

I have half made this cushion.. but I don't think it will be finished before Christmas.



This is Vicky Porters project....

 

Marg Low project.

 Then last month I went to Bathurst to attend a bloggers meet and of course did some shopping

at Hatched and Patched.

We all had to bring along a gift.. and yes I received the most beautiful scarf from Kylie...

I can't wait for it to get colder again just to wear it.

When you don't get invited into a photo...

What's a girl to do.. but photo bomb it...lol

Anita, me and Chooky blue.

 

I know, I must write more post...

 

 

Anyway, happy quilting

I celebrated my 20th wedding anniversary in Vanuatu.

It was also my birthday.

 

I then travel to Nowra with the lovely Kim as our host.

Anni Downs from Hatched and Patched was the designer

(I can't show you the actual project - it hasn't been release as yet)

 

 



 

Here are all the ladies and the lovely Anni.

 

 



My dear husband was in an accident on the 10th October.

 He was on his bike and was hit by a taxi.

Broken wrist and heaps of bruises.

He had one operation on his wrist last week. He is feeling heaps better.

I was also hit by a car around 3 years ago...  not many couples have this in common.. hey.

 

You just never know what is around the corner.

 

Sending heaps of prayers to those affected by the bush fires.
