G’day

 

Only 54 sleeps to go! Only 54 sleeps to go!

 

My youngest is tripping up the Amazon or nearby about now but he assures me he will be in London when I get there. He is due to fly back the day before me. Now the excitement levels are growing daily but so too is the to-do list.

 

I don’t think I have ever planned this far ahead for Christmas or indeed Easter next year. That’s when I am down to teach for five days at Wellington’s symposium and ‘I must be prepared’ is sounding a bit like my daily mantra. I do hope I catch up with a lot of you then.

 

The Project now has over forty participating and it is such fun to see the different versions at clubs or classes I attend. For those not playing the game then I will post a progress out when I return from my travels. I have a couple of really big ‘lessons’ coming up to keep everyone occupied while I am away.

 

Sew n Soup this month could well be the last hurrah for quite a while so please do come along for a ‘finishing school’ session – you can finish off a project or get some help on the finishing touches such as borders, bindings, presentation or just knowing when to stop.

Friday 24, 5-ish to whenever. As always please advise the cook of your intentions.

 

The ‘arty’ gals are continuing with their second masterpieces. They are so smart now they are heading off in their own directions. It has been fun watching them pushing the boundaries and succeeding in fine style. If you’d like to join this class then make a date for Tuesday afternoons with us. Looks like lunch at the café next door is part of this deal and we can solve all the problems over yummy muffins.

 

Hope you all made it to the Craft Fair in Hamilton and saw the Quilts Aotearoa exhibition. I still have that silly grin on my face after receiving the accolade for Best Use of Colour for my autumn leaves quilt. This afternoon I have a real treat cos I am off to spend my prize at Donna’s Quilt Studio (thanks Donna for your sponsorship). Those arty girls have opted for a field trip so they can help me out – yeah right!!

 

Go well!
