.....It has been an extremely busy fortnight with lots of fabric finding new homes, many new quilts in the planning - and a whole lot of boards in the wheelie bin!!! Thank you all for your support. Parcels went to Winton, Eulo, Charters Towers and quite a few places in between. That's a fair chunk of Queensland! Even sent a package to Melbourne!
Now it will be time to re-arange things and endeavour to fill the spaces! I may even get some work done on some projects as well. Apologies, too, for no blog last week - the system was incredibly slow for some reason and did not want to co-operate. All appears to be OK tonight.
I had a visit from the twins this week, took a photo and left the camera at the shop!!! A couple of other things that I was going to show you will have to wait as well. While I was away, I bought an I Pad which I have been trying to navigate, but I'm a bit of a slow learner! The idea was to get information to you all, quicker than I have been - it will happen, eventually.
It was a busy weekend in Barcaldine with the Goat Races and Expo. being held at the Showgrounds. Grandson Harrison had several "drives" - the last of the day, in the Cup. He was in the lead by 5 metres when his goat stopped in its' tracks, about 10 metres from home! They certainly have a mind of their own. There was a terrific crowd present for all the events so I'm sure the organisers would have been very pleased. Earlier in the day, I had watched both Bronte and Lily play netball. Thanks again to Sandra for holding the fort at the shop.
I requested a photo from Anna when she told me that she had completed her "Spring" table runner.
I'm sure you'll agree, that she has done a terrific job! A lot of firsts for Anna with this one. First time at a Retreat, first time for raw edge applique and first time for free motion quilting.
Well done, Anna.
Back at Easter time, when "borrowed" son, Damion and his family visited, I forgot to get a photo of Dean and his quilt. Bron sent me one recently - he looks like he's really checking out that elephant!
That's about it for me tonight, with an early reminder that the next Retreat is 30/31 August and 1 September, booking from the 9th August.
Talk soon, Sandy.
