Stitchers Dream Day Out

Oh what fun we had!!! It's the first time I've ever been to a 'stitch in' :o). I went with 3 friends to the Quilters Angel "Stitchers Dream Day Out" in Highfields just outside Toowoomba and we had such a wonderful time!! The theme of the weekend was "Sweet Treats" and this is the first sweet treat we got ... Mmmmmm, yummy :o) And here's the next treat ... this is what was at each place setting .... Full of fabulous goodies, too many to list :o) ........ We each got 8 patterns - 2 from each of the guest designers - Debbie Magee "Always Stitchin", Bronwyn Hayes "Red Brolly", Ella from "Ella and Skysie and a new and very talented designer Shelley Anne .... plus a kit so that we could start on one right away .....

Aren't they all just stunning!!??! This is me with Bronwyn Hayes ... I'm chuffed to bits to have met her 'cos I've loved her designs ever since I started stitching!!!!

And who else should I find there but the gorgeous Kris from Tagalong Teddies!!! Kris and I hit it off famously and had lots of laughs - I knew we would ;o). We've even arranged to catch up for a coffee again soon!!! Looking forward to it Kris :o)!!!

Here's Lynn and Gwen working hard on their stitcheries .... That big green and red thing in the front was a giant cupcake, isn't it adorable??!! There was one in the centre of each table!!

and here's Valerie deep in concentration ......

Of course at the end of the day we were facing quite a long drive home, so we all made a mad dash to 'where ladies go' and poor Gwen was left holding the bags and the boxes and ... well, everything ;o) LOL!!!

Don't worry, we did eventually unload her ;o)!!

I was also very excited to meet up with another fellow blogger on Saturday ..... Cheryl from Willowberry Designs (thanks for the piccy Cheryl :o) )!!! I'm so glad we got the chance to meet face to face - I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of each other in the future too ;o). Keep an eye on the countdown widget, not long now and all will be revealed!!!
How EXCITING :o)!!!!!!!!
