It’s been a whirlwind since last I chatted to you … feels like I haven’t stopped!!! I’ve been out just about everyday and I’m so behind with my blog-reading … and I do like to see what everyone has been up to. Please forgive my lack of comments on your blogs lately … hopefully I can catch up on some blog-hopping in the next couple of days :o).
So.. what have I been up to??? Well this is the condensed version ;o)…
Remember I went to the Qld Quilters Picnic at Gatton last week ….
the pic in the middle above is of the ‘world’s biggest hexagon quilt”. It’s over 100m long, the part in the photo is about a third of it!!! It was a real treat to see it :o).
Here’s what I bought … such delish fabrics!!!
and this simply gawjus “Antique Roses” Lecien jelly roll…..
Such pretty colours :o)!!
Speaking of pretty colours … I did a dying workshop yesterday. That’s dying fabric of course, not the other sort of dying LOL. Here’s what I did …
And here’s a little pouch I made from another piece. 
Last Sunday we decided to walk over the new Gateway Bridge, it opens soon here in Brisbane. There were thousands of people there doing the same thing …
It was a 3.2km (just over 2 miles) walk from one side to the other and back. We were ready for a coffee and some lunch by the time we’d finished the walk so we went to the museum of modern art and grabbed a bite there before seeing the Ron Mueck display …
I’ve hardly had a chance to do any stitching lately … so maybe it’s time to hop off the ‘puter and do some now ;o)!!!
Hope you’re all having a t’riffic week!!!
