Sue comes to stay all the way from Perth


Sue my girlfriend from Perth came over for my birthday in August 08-08-08 and what a wonderful birthday it was...

This lovely vibrant and very funny friend enjoys the quilts i make , especilly the 3 I have made for her but would NEVER make one herself ...why are we friends ?????

Because she like a drink, shopping for nice things and Eating great food .

I met Sue on Christmas Island in 1994 when I worked over there. She cmae to our wedding and spotted a quilt hanging on the rack and said' mmmmmmmmm i like that one so i gave it to her...weak moment...lol

My Sewing Lounge opens for FUN

The week-end 19th & 20th September Lorraine & Edith two of my dear patchwork friends made the trip down from Benalla to spend time with me.
It didn't take us long to get the machines humming on Friday night...sewing and sipping is always the best way to start a weekend.
After Trevor cooked us his special Egg & Bacon Mac Trevor burgers on Saturday we got down to sewing again. After lunch Nola & Clare from my little patchwork group 'Quilters of the BigRoom of the West' came to play and watched us do some fabric dying and on Sunday Lou & Heather-Ann came over.
The week-end was full of fun and look forward to them coming back in Febuary.
They left after morning tea on the Monday
