Wholly Quilts’ December Newsletter

 

G’day

 

I know it is stating the obvious but I have only two more sleeps before I am off on my big OE. If last night is anything to go by they will be fairly restless as I mull over what is to be on my travels, what has been packed (or not), things to do around the house before leaving etc etc.

 

Yesterday I packed everything into one suitcase and then had to wonder how it all fitted – something (important) must be missing. The sooner I get on that plane the sooner my brain can be turned off. I think my sons think that switch has already been tampered with J

 

It was fun last weekend at Calico Christmas – you all gave yourselves away as recipients of this newsletter by asking me how many more sleeps. It was nice to put faces to names.

 

There are lots of new names on the list now and to them I say welcome. I am going to ‘play’ with my youngest son in and around London for six weeks (his weather forecast says the temperature will be zero with showers – lovely!!) and then with my younger sister in Dallas for four weeks (I am looking forward to lots of giggles with her). Back home on February 10.

 

In the meantime you can all think about joining me here for a retreat next year – I would love to look after you all for a couple of days out of your busy schedules. I will be able to share some of the foodie tastes I have sampled in my travels and, of course, some of the quiltie trends I have picked up.

 

The Project team will be kept busy while I am away cos they are getting two big ‘assignments’ to tackle – well, I was asked for something to keep your hands busy while you were on holiday! I will be able to help you via email if necessary so write to me if you are stuck on anything. And no I am not taking anything with me for my hands – they need a rest!

 

In the meantime – may all your wishes and dreams come true for the Christmas Season and the New Year.

 

Go well!

Wholly Quilts’ November Newsletter

 

G’day

 

Only 28 sleeps to go! But now I have to say it quietly cos the to-do list is still as long as it was a month ago. And last time Ethan read that and decided he didn’t have nearly enough time up the Amazon and maybe I should go to Brazil for Christmas instead. I think I would prefer a slushy (if not white) Christmas in London.

 

Some of The Project participants are putting pressure on me for ‘the next instalment’ so I know that some at least are keeping up. Others are taking their time and that’s good too. I do know that the butterfly now has been appliquéd and embroidered so changes are being made. Part four is going out today.

 

Do you all remember the tartan rug that, for the most part, stayed in the car and was used for picnics, snuggling on long trips or just to cast shadow or be a wind-break on sunny days? Well I do and I have been having fun recreating the tartan rug as a quilt. I started off with the Gordon tartan and am now in the grip of a Murdoch tartan as it seemed much more appropriate. Both are just as comforting and protective as the old family rugs. I will share more of them next year.

 

Hope to catch up with you at Calico Christmas. Don’t forget – be at the North Harbour Stadium November 21-23.

Yicks – then I will have only seven more sleeps.

 

Go well!
