Busy Busy Busy

Was a really busy weekend we had a get together on Saturday at Shays

there was lots of laughter,chatter & of course chocolate.

Lorraine brought show & tell, her Antique Quilts that were a recent purchase on her trip to the USA.

They were brought at Huston

First up was a 1920's Pickle Dish

 

 

 

Beautiful hand quilting

 

Her second quilt was a Feathered Star

Denise & I decided to try it out

Very snuggley..

 

Again stunning hand quilting

Lorraine was also lucky enough to get some history with it including pictures of the maker & the recipient.

Go to her blog for the full story

 

Tara showed her Mrs Billings she only has 2 borders left to go

 

Friday saw me at our Friday quilting, there has been a bit of a change in the group so we decided on a new name for a new start so let me introduce

" The Friday Fabaholics"

We were at Lorraines lovely company, good food, plenty of chatter & laughs ummm seems as if Quilt get togethers follow a similar pattern ....

 

I am now on the borders of my Flowerdale

Hope to have that done in the next couple of weeks

 

 

 

Lastly today was a Baby shower for my daughters best friend from primary school

I am making her a Quilt for when the baby arrives so just ran up a blanket

( no wadding) with a cream minky on the back.

It was a hot steamy weekend here hope you are keeping cool in Australia and warm elsewhere else
