Yesterday I headed up the Toowoomba Range to visit my dear friend Fiona from BubzRugz. I love this area of my home State and always enjoy the drive. I have to admit though....1st time to Fiona's new home and yours truly got lost! But hey ....just roads I'd never been down before lol! I like cows and sheep and horses....found my way eventually and I was very happy to see Fiona's smiling face!
I got to visit in Fiona's oh so lovely sewing space...very green here! Picked up a little quilted treasure magically transformed by her (you can't see it yet...more work to be done here) and saw first hand what Fiona had created with my Bear Alphabet. I had seen piccies but it is soooo pretty in real life...
I am really looking forward to seeing it quilted. We had a wonderful day...lots of chatting, laughing over our teacups....teeny bit of stitching on my behalf.
Kris from Tag-along-teddies joined us for a very delicious lunch. It is always nice to catch up with Kris too.
Fiona impressed us mightily with her "selfie on a timer techno ability" and even though we were giggliing crazily, giving advice etc.....like herding cats really, we got there in the end lol!
Such lovely fun ladies. Thank you Fiona for a wonderful day. I got to admire Fiona's Splendid Sampler blocks yesterday so I thought I better catch up.....Quilt Shoppe block 9 by Jane Davidson.
Block 10 is due tomorrow. These are my blocks so far.
They look nicer in real life...bit crumpled looking there from being in their folder but you get the idea.
The stitchery on my little secret project is done and I am mulling over some fabric choices...
Ok must fly....you lovely people have lured me away from my work today.
Have a good one!
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
