Wholly Quilts March Newsletter
G’day
My sister has been and gone – what fun! How much family, food and giggles can you fit into three days? Lots!
Yee ha! I have had three quilts accepted for the Queenstown symposium. I do love sharing my quilts with more than just the four walls of my studio. Well I wrote that this morning and can now add the fourth quilt I entered – the notifications to me were split in the mail – an extra loud woo-hoo.
If you want to join in the Leaf Project any time in the next few weeks just give me a shout. The first lesson is a version of my Ooey Gooey Heart pattern and looks lovely done in the leaf shape. I am planning a not-quite-so-traditional tree of life in the centre and have had fun designing that though it hasn’t made it to the computer as yet. Because this is an on-line project you can catch up. It will cost $65.
The first block of Turquoise Sherbet goes out early next week. It is my weekend chore. Do not fret if you are still working on numbers I can catch up with you. Pay $30 for individuals or $25 for groups of six or more to my bank account Wholly Quilts 389005 0972408 00 or by cheque to the address below.
The race is on each day in the Pumpkin Patch to beat the birds to the ripe figs – yum! Only trouble is they do not hold for long so now I am pickling and jamming figs, eating figs and giving them away. The damson plum tree was stripped last week and the fruit dealt with. Jared, my lovely son, is convinced it is not real plum jam if it has no pips so I had to scoop out only every third one that floated to the surface J. This year I carefully planted my pumpkins in a garden and thought they would overflow and thrive but not so – each plant produce only a few pumpkins. I have to say white butterflies galore and a lonely rabbit really really like my garden!
