Quilt-in

On Saturday I attended my first ever Quilt-In at the Goldfields Quilters' get together at Campbells Creek Community Centre.  I'd hazard a guess that there were over 200 ladies there with their projects, their mugs and their lunch. Everyone received a gift at the door and a lucky draw ticket, plus there was a beautiful quilt made by the members that was being raffled.
We had the pleasure of listening to Margaret McDonald speak and show us a LOT of her work (and I won one of her  patterns in the lucky draw! Yippee!! )
another project takes shape

Mini mosters


These lovely, colourful felt mini monsters were designed by Max's year 4 class. Honestly, these kids have Sew Much Talent!

Miaow! Mooo!

To market to market to buy a fat cat. Well these cats certainly fit the bill. They're stuffed to the brim and looking forward to finding new homes.
This time the cats have some new friends - this "udderly lovely" herd of cows (bulls.  both patterns adapted from the beautiful book "Meet me at Mike's) by Pip Lincolne. They're off to the school fair this Sunday.
